He said he must drink something, however (он сказал, что должен выпить что-нибудь, тем не менее), and climbed upon the seat, and leant over to get the bottle (и взобрался на сиденье, и наклонился вперед, чтобы достать бутылку; to lean). It was right at the bottom of the hamper, and seemed difficult to find (она была на самом дне корзины, и, казалось, ее нелегко было найти; right — прямо, как раз, точно), and he had to lean over further and further (и ему приходилось наклоняться все дальше и дальше), and, in trying to steer at the same time, from a topsy-turvy point of view (и, пытаясь управлять лодкой в это же время, видя все вверх ногами: «с перевернутой вверх дном точки зрения»), he pulled the wrong line, and sent the boat into the bank (он дернул не ту веревку и вогнал: «послал» лодку в берег), and the shock upset him, and he dived down right into the hamper (и удар/толчок опрокинул его, и он нырнул прямо в корзину), and stood there on his head, holding on to the sides of the boat like grim death (и стоял там = в ней на голове, держась за борта лодки изо всех сил; like grim death — отчаянно, изо всех сил: «словно грозная смерть»), his legs sticking up into the air (задрав ноги в воздух = кверху). He dared not move for fear of going over (он не осмеливался двигаться, опасаясь, что опрокинется), and had to stay there till I could get hold of his legs (и /ему/ пришлось оставаться так, пока я не схватил его за ноги), and haul him back, and that made him madder than ever (и не вытащил /назад/, и это взбесило его больше чем когда-либо).

Then he flew off about lemonade, and "such-like Sunday-school slops," as he termed them, ginger-beer, raspberry syrup, etc. He said they all produced dyspepsia, and ruined body and soul alike, and were the cause of half the crime in England.
