могли/ найти сокровища), and drop shooting poor seamen, and stoving of their
heads in while asleep (и прекращаете стрелять бедных моряков и разбивать им
головы, пока они спят). You do that, and we'll offer you a choice (вы делаете
это = соглашаетесь, и мы предлагаем вам выбор). Either you come aboard
along of us (либо вы поднимаетесь на борт с нами = мы позволяем вам
вернуться на корабль), once the treasure shipped (как только сокровища

первым кораблем, который увижу), and send 'em here to pick you up (и послать

You do that, and we'll offer you a choice. Either you come aboard along of us,
