Past tense: We saw a shining light at the foot of the cliff so we picked our way through the bracken towards it. Ferns scratched our legs and we slipped on the muddy soil. The breeze that blew off the sea made us shiver. Then we saw, in the moonlight, men who were moving around on the beach. We couldn’t be sure, but we thought they were smugglers.
