barrel [`bxrql] warning [`wLnIN] treachery [`tretSqrI] bowsprit [`bqusprIt]

“Never knew good come of it yet,” the captain said to Dr. Livesey. “Spoil foc’s’le hands, make devils. That’s my belief.”

But good did come of the apple barrel, as you shall hear, for if it had not been for that, we should have had no note of warning, and might all have perished by the hand of treachery.

This was how it came about.

We had run up the trades to get the wind of the island we were after — I am not allowed to be more plain — and now we were running down for it with a bright look-out day and night. It was about the last day of our outward voyage, by the largest computation; some time that night, or, at latest, before noon of the morrow, we should sight the Treasure Island. We were heading S.S.W., and had a steady breeze abeam and a quiet sea. The Hispaniola rolled steadily, dipping her bowsprit nod and then with a whiff of spray. All was drawing alow and aloft everyone was in the bravest spirits, because we were now so near an end of the first part of our adventure.

Now, just after sundown (и вот, сразу после захода солнца), when all my work was over (когда вся моя работа окончилась), and I was on my way to my berth (и я был на пути = шел к своей койке), it occurred to me that I should like an apple (мне пришло в голову, что мне хотелось = неплохо бы отведать яблоко). I ran on deck (я пробежал на палубу). The watch was all forward looking out for the island (вахтенные все смотрели вперед, высматривая остров; watch — наблюдение, вахта, дозор). The man at the helm was watching the luff of the sail (рулевой: «человек у штурвала» наблюдал за наветренным углом парусов /наветренная сторона — подверженная действию ветра, подветренная — противоположная той, на которую дует ветер/), and whistling away gently to himself (и насвистывал тихонько себе); and that was the only sound excepting the swish of the sea against the bow (это был единственный звук, исключая = кроме плеска моря о нос /корабля/; swish — свист, всплеск, шуршание), and around the sides of the ship (и о бока корабля = за бортом; around — всюду, кругом, около).

Now, just after sundown, when all my work was over, and I was on my way to my berth, it occurred to me that I should like an apple. I ran on deck. The watch was all forward looking out for the island. The man at the helm was watching the luff of the sail, and whistling away gently to himself; and that was the only sound excepting the swish of the sea against the bow, and around the sides of the ship.

In I got bodily into the apple barrel (я залез полностью внутрь яблочной бочки; bodily — целиком, лично, сам; body — тело), and found there was scarce an apple left (и обнаружил, что там осталось разве что одно яблоко; scarce — недостаточный, скудный, едва); but, sitting down there in the dark (но, сидя там в темноте), what with the sound of the waters and the rocking movement of the ship (из-за звука вод = плеска воды и качки корабля: «качающегося движения»), I had either fallen asleep, or was on the point of doing so (я или заснул, или был близок к этому; to be on the point of doing something — собираться сделать что-либо немедленно), when a heavy man sat down with rather a clash close by (когда тяжелый человек сел рядом с /некоторым/ шумом; rather — довольно, несколько; clash — шум, стук, громыхание). The barrel shook as he leaned his shoulders against it (бочка покачнулась, словно /от того/, что он прислонился к ней плечами), and I was just about to jump up when the man began to speak (и я уже собирался выпрыгнуть /из бочки/, когда человек начал говорить). It was Silver’s voice, and, before I had heard a dozen words (это был голос Сильвера, и, прежде чем я услышал дюжину слов), I would not have shown myself for all the world (я бы не показался ни за что на свете), but lay there, trembling and listening (а лежал там, дрожа и слушая), in the extreme of fear and curiosity (/находясь/ в высшей степени страха и любопытства); for from these dozen words I understood that the lives of all the honest men aboard depended upon me alone (так как из той дюжины = с первых же слов я понял, что жизни всех честных людей на борту зависели только от меня одного).

Chapter XI (глава 11)

What I Heard in the Apple Barrel (что я услышал, /сидя/ в яблочной бочке)

“NO, not I (нет, не я),” said Silver. “Flint was cap’n (Флинт был капитаном); I was quartermaster, along of my timber leg (я был квартирмейстером, из-за моей деревянной ноги; quartermaster — квартирмейстер; начальник /хозяйственного/ снабжения; заведующий продовольствием). The same broadside I lost my leg (на том же самом борту = в том же самом деле я потерял ногу), old Pew lost his deadlights (/в котором/ старый Пью потерял свои иллюминаторы = глаза). It was a master surgeon, him that ampytated me (это был ученый хирург, тот, что ампутировал мне /ногу/; master — магистр, кандидат) — out of college and all (из колледжа и тому подобное) — Latin by the bucket (знал всю латынь: «/черпал/ латынь ведрами»), and what not (и все остальное); but he was hanged like a dog (но он был вздернут как собака), and sun-dried like the rest, at Corso Castle (и высушен на солнце, как и остальные, в Корсо-Касле). That was Roberts’ men (то были люди Робертса), that was, and comed of changing names to their ships (и /они/ пришли /на плаху/ = погибли из-за изменения названий своих кораблей) — Royal Fortune and so on (Королевское счастье и так далее). Now, what a ship was christened, so let her stay, I says (а я говорю, как судно окрестили, так оно и должно называться: «так позвольте ему оставаться»). So it was with the Cassandra as brought us all safe home from Malabar (так было с Кассандрой, что доставила нас всех целыми домой с Малабара), after England took the Viceroy of the Indies (после того, как Ингленд захватил вице-короля Индии); so it was with the old Walrus, Flint’s old ship (так же было со Моржом = не менял также названия и Морж, старый корабль Флинта), as I’ve seen amuck with the red blood and fit to sink with gold (/который/, как я видел, пропитался весь кровью и чуть не потонул от золота /на борту/; amuck — безудержно, бешено; fit to do something — готовый сделать что-либо).”

“Ah!” cried another voice (воскликнул другой голос), that of the youngest hand on board (самого молодого матроса на борту), and evidently full of admiration (и явно полный восхищения), “he was the flower of the flock, was Flint (он был украшением семьи = пиратского семейства, этот Флинт = что за молодец этот Флинт; flower — цветок, лучшая часть; flock — стадо, стая, семейство)!”
