Sentence from Spanish story

vote
I have just finished another Spanish story which includes this line:
"Llegó una ocasión en que se encontraron solos, pues los adelante habían caminado más aprisa que los de atrás."
I read this as: There came a point in which they proceeded singly, such that the front-most were going much faster than those behind.
Yes, no, maybe, somewhat?? Muchas gracias before the fact!

"Llegó una ocasión en que se encontraron solos, pues los adelante habían caminado más aprisa que los de atrás."
There came a time when they found themselves alone, as the ones in front had walked faster than the ones in back.
Encontrarse can mean several different things, including to be (in a place or situation), or to find oneself.

muchas gracias! It doesn't seem to fit, so maybe I need to go back and review how I read the rest! 8-P - Lector_Constante, Jun 4, 2011
