I found also a small bag of grain (я также нашел маленький мешок зерна) , of which I took good care (который я бережно забрал: «о котором взял хорошую заботу = хорошо позаботился») . It was barley (это был ячмень) .

Then I began to look around for clothing (затем я начал искать одежду) , and found enough to do for many a day (и нашел достаточно, чтобы хватило на много дней) .

While I was getting these together (пока я собирал эти /вещи/) I happened to see the carpenter's chest (мне посчастливилось увидеть плотницкий ящик) . It was full of tools (он был полон инструментов) .

It was hard work to get it on the raft (это была тяжелая работа — доставить его на плот) . I lifted and pulled (я поднимал и тянул/тащил) . I pulled and lifted; and at last I had it alongside of the other boxes (и наконец я имел его рядом с другими ящиками = мне удалось доставить его туда же, где были и другие ящики) . How tired I was (каким уставшим я был = как же я устал) !

THERE was a great deal of water in the ship's hold. But the cabin and the storerooms were dry. The boxes of food had not been touched by the water.

I was very hungry, but I had no time to lose. So I filled my pockets with dry biscuits and ate them as I went about.

There were many things on the ship. They might be very useful to me if I had them on shore. But there was no boat, and how could I carry them there?

"I will make a raft." I said to myself.

There were several long pieces of timber on the deck. I tied a rope to each of these so that it would not float away. Then I dropped them, one by one, over the ship's side.

After this I slid down my rope into the water, and tied these timbers together. They formed a framework that was strong and would not sink.

On top of this framework I laid all the boards I could find.

I now had a very good raft. It was large enough to carry a great many things. All the time I was building it I was planning how to load it.

In the cabin there were three strong boxes, such as sailors use. These I emptied. Then I carried them out and let them down upon my raft.

Of all the things on board, I would need food the most. So I filled the first chest with bread, rice, cheese, and a few pieces of meat.

I found also a small bag of grain, of which I took good care. It was barley.

Then I began to look around for clothing, and found enough to do for many a day.

While I was getting these together I happened to see the carpenter's chest. It was full of tools.

It was hard work to get it on the raft. I lifted and pulled. I pulled and lifted; and at last I had it alongside of the other boxes. How tired I was!

(я приношу некоторый вещи на берег)

IT was now past noon (было уже время после полудня) , and the tide was coming in (и прилив приближался) . I could not stop to rest (я не мог остановиться отдохнуть) .

"I have food, I have clothing, I have tools (у меня есть еда, у мнея есть одежда, у меня есть инструменты) ," I said to myself (сказал я себе) . "What do I need next (что мне нужно следующим = теперь/еще) ?"

Then I thought of the wild animals (затем я подумал о диких животных) and wild men (и диких людях) that I might meet on the shore (которых я мог встретить на берегу) . "How shall I protect myself from them (как я буду защищать себя от них) ?" I said.

In the captain's room I found two good guns (в комнате капитана я нашел два хороших ружья) with a bag of shot and a powderhorn (с сумкой дроби и пороха; bag — мешок; сумка) . There were also two old swords (там были также две старые шпаги) , very rusty and dull (очень ржавые и тупые) , and a pair of big pistols (и пара больших пистолетов) .

By looking around (осмотревшись) , I found also three small kegs of powder (я обнаружил также три маленьких бочонка пороха; keg — бочонок /емкостью до 10 галлонов [2] галлон — мера жидких и сыпучих тел; английский галлон = 4,54 л /; a powder keg — пороховой бочонок) . Two of these were dry (два из них были сухими) , but the other was wet (но другой был мокрым) and good for nothing (и ни на что не годился: «и хороший для ничего») .

It took more than an hour to get all these safely placed on my raft (заняло больше часа уложить все это в сохранности на мой плот; safely — в сохранности; безопасно; благополучно) . I now had quite a heavy load (у меня теперь была довольно тяжелая поклажа) , and I began to wonder (и я начал задаваться вопросом; to wonder — удивляться; интересоваться; размышлять) how I should take it to the shore (как я должен доставить это на берег) .

I had no oars nor any sail for my raft (у меня не было ни весел, ни паруса для моего плота) . But the water was smooth (но вода была гладкой) , the tide was flowing in (и был прилив: «поток приливал») , and a gentle wind was blowing toward the land (и тихий ветер дул по направлению к суше) .

I loosed the rope (я ослабил веревку) that held the raft to the ship (которая держала плот к кораблю = которой плот был привязан к кораблю) , and soon began my little voyage (и скоро начал мое маленькое путешествие) .

The tide was now so high (прилив был сейчас столь высоким) that the dry land was much farther away (что суша была намного дальше) than when I came out (чем когда я отправился: «вышел» к кораблю) . But the raft floated smoothly along (но плот плыл ровно; to go along — двигаться вперед) , and drew nearer and nearer to the shore (и приближался ближе и ближе к берегу; to draw — тащить; тянуть; подходить, приближаться) .
