2. 'Dead — ay, sure enough he's dead and gone below,' said the fellow with the
bandage; 'but if ever sperrit walked, it would be Flint's. Dear heart, but he
died bad, did Flint!'
3. 'Ay, that he did,' observed another; 'now he raged, and now he hollered for
the rum, and now he sang. "Fifteen Men" were his only song, mates; and I tell
you true, I never rightly liked to hear it since. It was main hot, and the windy
was open, and I hear that old song comin' out as clear as clear — and the
death-haul on the man already.'
4. 'Come, come,' said Silver, 'stow this talk. He's dead, and he don't walk, that
I know; leastways, he won't walk by day and you may lay to that. Care killed
a cat. Fetch ahead for the doubloons.'
5. We started, certainly; but in spite of the hot sun and the staring daylight,
the pirates no longer ran separate and shouting through the wood, but kept
side by side and spoke with bated breath. The terror of the dead buccaneer
had fallen on their spirits.

было немного наклонено к западу), this spot on which we had paused
commanded a wide prospect on either hand (с того места, где мы остановились,
открывался широкий вид в обе стороны;
us, over the tree-tops, we beheld the Cape of the Woods fringed with surf
(впереди, над вершинами деревьев, мы видели Мыс Леса, окаймленный
прибоем); behind, we not only looked down upon the anchorage and Skeleton
Island, but saw (позади мы не только смотрели сверху на стоянку и Остров
Скелета, но и видели) — clear across the spit and the eastern lowlands (прямо за
косой и восточной низменностью: «низкой землей»;
простор открытого моря на востоке). Sheer above us rose the Spy-glass, here
dotted with single pines, there black with precipices (прямо над нами
возвышалась Подзорная Труба, где усеянная одиночными соснами, а где
зияющая пропастями;
round (не было /слышно/ ни звука, кроме /шума/ далеких бурунов,
поднимавшегося со всех сторон), and the chirp of countless insects in the brush
