тревогой; fever — жар, лихорадка; нервное возбуждение).

1. 'Doctor, you will take the door,' he resumed. 'See, and don't expose

yourself; keep within, and fire through the porch. Hunter, take the east side,

there. Joyce, you stand by the west, my man. Mr. Trelawney, you are the best

shot — you and Gray will take this long north side, with the five loopholes; it's

there the danger is. If they can get up to it, and fire in upon us through our

own ports, things would begin to look dirty. Hawkins, neither you nor I are

much account at the shooting we'll stand by to load and bear a hand.'

2. As the captain had said, the chill was past. As soon as the sun had climbed

above our girdle of trees, it fell with all its force upon the clearing, and drank

up the vapours at draught. Soon the sand was baking, and the resin melting in

the logs of the block-house. Jackets and coats were flung aside; shirts thrown

open at the neck, and rolled up to the shoulders; and we stood there, each at

his post, in a fever of heat and anxiety.

1. An hour passed away (час прошел).

2. 'Hang them (черт бы их побрал)!' said the captain (сказал капитан). 'This is as

dull as the doldrums (это скучно, словно в штиль; doldrums — дурное

настроение; экваториальная штилевая полоса). Gray, whistle for a wind

(Грей, посвисти-ка; to whistle for a wind — выжидать удобного случая,

ждать

у моря погоды).'

3. And just at that moment came the first news of the attack (и как раз в этот миг

пришло первое известие об атаке).

4. 'If you please, sir (разрешите /спросить/, сэр),' said Joyce, 'if I see anyone am I

to fire (если я кого-нибудь увижу, я должен стрелять)?'

5. 'I told you so (я сказал тебе так = именно так)!' cried the captain (крикнул

капитан).

6. 'Thank you, sir (спасибо, сэр),' returned Joyce, with the same quiet civility

(ответил Джойс с той же спокойной вежливостью).

1. Nothing followed for a time (ничего не последовало в течение некоторого

времени); but the remark had set us all on the alert (но замечание /Джойса/

заставило нас всех насторожиться; on the alert — бдительный,

осмотрительный, внимательный), straining ears and eyes (напрягая уши и
