My next encounter was very unexpected. My men and I were sitting around a campfire. We sat "in silence around the embers , waiting." When the Cyclops came in "he had a load of of dry boughs on his shoulder to stroke his fire at suppertime." When he dropped what was in his hands on the ground , we all ran to hide against the far wall of the cave. He walked over to some of his ewes , preparing to milk them. We watched with slight horror and amazement as the Cyclops moved a very large , solid rock to cover the entrance to the cave ...
