As for the captain, his wounds were grievous indeed, but not dangerous (что касается капитана, его раны были действительно тяжелыми, но не опасными; grievous — горестный, тяжелый, мучительный; to grieve — огорчать, глубоко опечаливать). No organ was fatally injured (ни один орган не был фатально/смертельно = серьезно поврежден). Anderson’s ball (пуля Эндерсона) — for it was Job that shot him first (потому что это Джоб первым выстрелил в него) — had broken his shoulder-blade and touched the lung, not badly (пробила ему лопатку и задело легкое, не очень сильно); the second had only torn and displaced some muscles in the calf (вторая /пуля/ только оцарапала и сместила мышцы икры;

to tear — рвать; оцарапать, поранить). He was sure to recover, the doctor said (он наверняка поправится, сказал доктор), but, in the meantime and for weeks to come (но между тем в течение нескольких недель), he must not walk nor move his arm (он не должен ни ходить, ни двигать рукой), nor so much as speak when he could help it (ни даже разговаривать, когда он может избежать этого = лишний раз не разговаривать).

My own accidental cut across the knuckles was a flea-bite (мой случайный порез на костяшках пальцев рук был пустяком: «укусом блохи»). Dr. Livesey patched it up with plaster

(доктор Ливси заклеил его пластырем; to patch — заделать, латать, чинить на скорую руку), and pulled my ears for me into the bargain (и потрепал меня за уши напоследок; into the bargain — кроме того, вдобавок: «в сделку»).

After dinner the squire and the doctor sat by the captain’s side a while in consultation (после обеда сквайр и доктор посидели некоторое время с боку = возле капитана для совещания; while — промежуток времени); and when they had talked to their heart’s content (и когда они наговорились вволю: «к довольству своего сердца»)

, it being then a little past noon (/а/ это было немного после полудня), the doctor took up his hat and pistols (доктор взял свою шляпу и пистолеты), girt on a cutlass (пристегнул к поясу кортик), put the chart in his pocket (положил карту в карман), and with a musket over his shoulder (и с мушкетом через плечо), crossed the palisade on the north side (пересек = перебрался через частокол с северной стороны), and set off briskly through the trees (и зашагал энергично сквозь деревья = быстро исчез в чаще; to set off — отправиться

).
