volume [`vOljum] thimble [TImbl] island [`aIlqnd] anchorage [`xNkqrIG]

There was little else in the volume but a few bearings of places noted in the blank leaves towards the end, and a table for reducing French, English, and Spanish moneys to a common value.

“Thrifty man!” cried the doctor. “He wasn’t the one to be cheated.”

“And now,” said the squire, “for the other.”

The paper had been sealed in several places with a thimble by way of seal; the very thimble, perhaps, that I had found in the captain’s pocket. The doctor opened the seals with great care, and there fell out the map of an island, with latitude and longitude, soundings, names of hills, and bays and inlets, and every particular that would be needed to bring a ship to a safe anchorage upon its shores. It was about nine miles long and five across, shaped, you might say, like a fat drag’ standing up, and had two fine land-locked harbours, and hill in the centre part marked “The Spy-glass.” There were several additions of a later date; but, above all, three cross of red ink — two on the north part of the island, one in the south-west, and, beside this last, in the same red ink, and a small, neat hand, very different from the captain’s tottery characters, these words: — “Bulk of treasure here.”

Over on the back the same hand had written this further information(сверху на обороте та же рука написала эту дополнительную информацию) : —

“Tall tree, Spy-glass shoulder, bearing a point to the N. of N.N.E(высокое дерево, склон Подзорной Трубы, направление к С. от С.-С.-В) .

“Skeleton Island E.S.E. and by E(Остров Скелета В.-Ю.-В. и к В.) .

“Ten feet(десять футов) .

“The bar silver is in the north cache(серебро в слитках в северном тайнике) ; you can find it by the trend of the east hummock(можешь отыскать его на склоне восточного пригорка) , ten fathoms south of the black crag with the face on it(в десяти саженях к югу от черной скалы, к ней лицом) .

“The arms are easy found, in the sand hill(оружие легко найти, в песчаном холме) , N. point of nor inlet cape(С. оконечность северного мыса) , bearing E. and a quarter N(держась /направления/ на В. и на четверть румба к С.) .

That was all(и все) ; but brief as it was(но, несмотря на краткость) , and, to me, incomprehensible(и /на то, что пометки были/ для меня непонятными; to comprehend — понимать, постигать ) , it filled the squire and Dr. Livesey with delight(они наполнили сквайра и доктора Ливси восторгом) .

Over on the back the same hand had written this further information: —

“Tall tree, Spy-glass shoulder, bearing a point to the N. of N.N.E.

“Skeleton Island E.S.E. and by E.

“Ten feet.

“The bar silver is in the north cache; you can find it by the trend of the east hummock, ten fathoms south of the black crag with the face on it.

“The arms are easy found, in the sand hill, N. point of nor inlet cape, bearing E. and a quarter N.

That was all; but brief as it was, and, to me, incomprehensible, it filled the squire and Dr. Livesey with delight.

“Livesey,” said the squire, “you will give up this wretched practice at once(вы бросите = бросайте эту жалкую /врачебную/ практику немедленно) . To-morrow I start for Bristol(завтра я направляюсь в Бристоль) . In three weeks’ time(через три недели) — three weeks! — two weeks(две недели) — ten days(десять дней) — we’ll have the best ship, sir, and the choicest crew in England(у нас будут лучший корабль, сэр, и отборнейшая команда во /всей/ Англии) . Hawkins shall come as cabin-boy(Хокинс пойдет юнгой) . You’ll make a famous cabin-boy Hawkins(из тебя выйдет отличный юнга) . You, Livesey, are ship’s doctor(вы, Ливси, судовой врач) ; I am admiral(я — адмирал) . We’ll take Redruth, Joyce, and Hunter(мы возьмем /с собой/ Редрута, Джойса и Хантера) . We’ll ha favourable winds(с нами будет попутный ветер; ha = have ) , a quick passage(быстрый путь) , and not the least difficult in finding the spot, and money(и ни малейшей трудности в нахождении = мы легко найдем то место, и деньги) to eat — to roll in(/мы сможем/ есть /их/, купаться в них) — to play duck and drake with ever after(тратить деньги всю жизнь: «постоянно впоследствии»; duck — утка; drake — селезень; to play ducks and drakes with — транжирить, разбазаривать /старинная игра, в которую играли, устанавливая камень, и затем сбивая его другими камнями/ ) .”

“Trelawney,” said the doctor, “I’ll go with you(я еду с вами) ; and, I go bail for it, so will Jim(и, ручаюсь, что Джим тоже) , and be a credit to the undertaking(он оправдает наше доверие; credit — доверие; undertaking — обязательство, соглашение ) . There’s only one man I’m afraid of(есть только одни человек, /на/ которого я опасаюсь /положиться/) .”

“Livesey,” said the squire, “you will give up this wretched practice at once. To-morrow I start for Bristol. In three weeks’ time — three weeks! — two weeks — ten days — we’ll have the best ship, sir, and the choicest crew in England. Hawkins shall come as cabin-boy. You’ll make a famous cabin-boy Hawkins. You, Livesey, are ship’s doctor; I am admiral. We’ll take Redruth, Joyce, and Hunter. We’ll ha favourable winds, a quick passage, and not the least difficult in finding the spot, and money to eat — to roll in — to play duck and drake with ever after.”

“Trelawney,” said the doctor, “I’ll go with you; and, I go bail for it, so will Jim, and be a credit to the undertaking. There’s only one man I’m afraid of.”

“And who’s that(и кто же это) ?” cried the squire(воскликнул сквайр) . “Name the dog, sir(назовите этого пса, сэр) !”
