караулить, ждать в засаде), watching the bustle which succeeded the attack

(наблюдая суету, которая последовала за атакой). Men were demolishing

something with axes on the beach near the stockade (/несколько/ человек рубили

что-то топорами на берегу недалеко от частокола; to demolish — разрушать,

сносить, ломать); the poor jolly-boat, I afterwards discovered (/наш/

бедный

ялик, /как/ я впоследствии узнал). Away, near the mouth of the river (вдали,

возле устья реки), a great fire was glowing among the trees (большой костер

пылал посреди деревьев), and between that point and the ship one of the gigs

kept coming and going (и между этим местом и кораблем одна из шлюпок

продолжала плавать туда-сюда), the men, whom I had seen so gloomy

(матросы, которых я видел такими мрачными /утром/), shouting at the oars like

children (/теперь/ кричали, /идя/ на веслах, как дети). But there was a sound in

their voices which suggested rum (но в их голосах был звук, который намекал

на ром = по их голосам было ясно, что они пьяны).

3. At length I thought I might return towards the stockade (наконец, я подумал,

что могу вернуться к частоколу). I was pretty far down on the low, sandy spit (я

был довольно далеко /от него/ на низкой песчаной косе; spit — длинная

отмель; намывная коса) that encloses the anchorage to the east, and is joined at

half-water to Skeleton Island (которая окружала стоянку с востока и

примыкала при отливе: «полуводе» к Острову Скелета; to join — соединять,

граничить, объединяться); and now, as I rose to my feet (и теперь, поднявшись

на ноги), I saw, some distance further down the spit, and rising from among low

bushes (я увидел на некотором отдалении = дальше на косе вырастающую

среди кустов; to rise from — брать начало, происходить), an isolated rock,

pretty high, and peculiarly white in colour (одиночную скалу, довольно

высокую и странного белого цвета; peculiarly — особенно; странно,

необычно). It occurred to me that this might be the white rock of which Ben Gunn

had spoken (мне

пришло в голову, что это, должно быть, белая скала, о

которой говорил Бен Ганн), and that some day or other a boat might be wanted

(и что если когда-нибудь может понадобиться лодка; some day or other —

рано или поздно), and I should know where to look for one (я буду знать, где ее

искать).

1. The Hispaniola still lay where she had anchored; but, sure enough, there

was the Jolly Roger — the black flag of piracy — flying from her peak. Even

as I looked, there came another red flash and another report, that sent the

echoes clattering, and one more round-shot whistled through the air. It was

the last of the cannonade.
