 What does Jones likely think Evans is up to when he finds him?
The shadow line between day and night could be seen from the Moon to be drifting across Australia. Evans, who had no watch, thought of the time as a quarter after Australia. Evans was a prospector, and like all prospectors, a sort of jackknife geologist, selenologist, rather. Evans was about three hundred miles east of Williamson Town, the site of the first landing on the Moon. Evans was due back at Williamson Town at about sunset, that is, in about sixteen days. Evans sealed the turbine from the rest of the steam system by closing the shut-off valves. After the sun rose, Evans returned to the lava cave that he had been exploring when the meteor hit.
