3. 'And when? says you (а когда, скажи-ка),' he added (он добавил). 'Why, from

about noon observation to about six bells (примерно с полудня до шести

склянок; observation — наблюдение, измерение, отсчет).'

4. 'Good (хорошо),' said I, 'and now may I go (а теперь я могу идти)?'

1. 'And when Ben Gunn is wanted, you know where to find him, Jim. Just

where you found him to-day. And him that comes is to have a white thing in

you, "has reasons of his own."'

about six bells.'

1. 'You won't forget (ты не забудешь)?' he inquired, anxiously (спросил он

тревожно). 'Precious sight, and reasons of his own, says you (драгоценный вид =

нужно встретиться лично, и свои причины, ты скажи). Reasons of his own;

that's the mainstay (свои причины — это основное; mainstay — главная

поддержка, опора; грота-штаг /штаг — канат от верхней части мачты

или стеньги до носа, удерживающий мачту от падения/); as between man and

man (/скажи это ему/ как мужчина мужчине). Well, then (итак)' — still holding

можешь идти, Джим). And, Jim, if you was to see Silver (Джим, если бы ты

увидел Сильвера), you wouldn't go for to sell Ben Gunn (ты ведь не предал бы

ему Бена Ганна; to go for — стремиться, добиваться; to sell — продавать,

скажешь /на то/, чтобы /сделать их жен/ вдовами к утру; widder = widow)?'

выстрела), and a cannon-ball came tearing through the trees and pitched in the

hundred yards from where we two were talking (менее чем в сотне ярдов от

1. For a good hour to come frequent reports shook the island (более часа частые

выстрелы сотрясали остров; to come — грядущий, будущий), and balls kept

crashing through the woods (и ядра продолжали пролетать с треском сквозь

лес; to crash — разрушать, грянуть, рушиться с грохотом). I moved from

hiding-place to hiding-place (я двигался от одного укрытия к другому), always

pursued, or so it seemed to me (все время преследуемый, или мне так казалось),
