4. Silver's green parrot, Captain Flint (зеленый попугай Сильвера, Капитан
Флинт)! It was she whom I had heard pecking at a piece of bark (это его я
слышал, когда он долбил клювом кусочек коры); it was she, keeping better

1. My foot struck something yielding — it was a sleeper's leg; and he turned

стороны), closed upon and held me tight (надвинулся на меня и крепко
схватил).
4. 'Bring a torch, Dick (принеси факел, Дик),' said Silver, when my capture was

and presently returned with a lighted brand (и вскоре вернулся с горящей
головешкой).

бочонок с коньяком), there were the pork and bread, as before (и свинина с
сухарями, как и раньше); and, what tenfold increased my horror (и, что
