1. There was little else in the volume but a few bearings of places noted in the
blank leaves towards the end, and a table for reducing French, English, and
Spanish moneys to a common value.
2. 'Thrifty man!' cried the doctor. 'He wasn't the one to be cheated.'
3. 'And now,' said the squire, 'for the other.'
4. The paper had been sealed in several places with a thimble by way of seal;
the very thimble, perhaps, that I had found in the captain's pocket. The
doctor opened the seals with great care, and there fell out the map of an
island, with latitude and longitude, soundings, names of hills, and bays and
inlets, and every particular that would be needed to bring a ship to a safe
anchorage upon its shores. It was about nine miles long and five across,
shaped, you might say, like a fat drag' standing up, and had two fine land-
locked harbours, and hill in the centre part marked 'The Spy-glass.' There
were several additions of a later date; but, above all, three cross of red ink —
two on the north part of the island, one in the south-west, and, beside this last,
in the same red ink, and a small, neat hand, very different from the captain's
tottery characters, these words: — 'Bulk of treasure here.'

4. 'Ten feet (десять футов).
5. 'The bar silver is in the north cache (серебро в слитках в северном тайнике);
you can find it by the trend of the east hummock (можешь отыскать его на
склоне восточного пригорка), ten fathoms south of the black crag with the face
on it (в десяти саженях к югу от черной скалы, к ней лицом).
6. 'The arms are easy found, in the sand hill (оружие легко найти, в песчаном
холме), N. point of nor inlet cape (С. оконечность северного мыса), bearing E.
and a quarter N (держась /направления/ на В. и на четверть румба к С.).
'J.F (Дж. Ф.).'
7. That was all (и все); but brief as it was (но, несмотря на краткость), and, to
me, incomprehensible (и /на то, что пометки были/ для меня непонятными; to
comprehend — понимать, постигать), it filled the squire and Dr. Livesey with
delight (они наполнили сквайра и доктора Ливси восторгом).
