Explore "The Ponson Case" by Freeman Wills Crofts on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
For some moments the men stood, reverent, and bareheaded, looking down at the motionless form. The face was disfigured, the left cheek from the ear to the mouth being cut and bruised, evidently from contact with a boulder. The left arm also was broken, and lay twisted at an unnatural angle with the body.
At last Austin made a move. Taking out his handkerchief, he stooped and reverently covered the dead face.
