The weariness did not help his head to clear (усталость не помогала его голове проясниться = мешала размышлять). His thoughts remained confused and desperate (его мысли оставались спутанными и отчаянными). He peered frequently through the porthole, hoping to get some sort of bearing (он заглядывал часто в иллюминатор, надеясь получить какую-нибудь ориентацию = сориентироваться; bearing — направление; азимут), but it was impossible to see anything more than the occasional wave and a star in the sky (но было невозможно увидеть что-нибудь, кроме нерегулярных/возникавших время от времени волн и звезды в небе).

Corum was tired, but he could not sleep. Everything he touched was slimy and made him feel ill. He tested the lock on the cabin door. Although the wood was rotten, the door seemed unusually strong. Some other force was at work here. The timbers of the ship were bound by more than rivets and tar.

Then, much later, he noticed the first line of grey on the horizon and he was relieved that morning was coming (потом, значительно позднее, он заметил первую серую линию на горизонте и успокоился /от того/, что наступает утро). This ship was a ship of the night (этот корабль был кораблем ночи). It would disappear with the sun and he and Rhalina would awake to find themselves in their own bed (он исчезнет с /восходом/ солнца, а он и Ралина проснутся и обнаружат себя в своей постели).

But what had frightened the barbarians (но что напугало варваров)? Or was that part of the dream (или это было частью сна)? Perhaps his collapse within the gates after his fight with Glandyth had induced a feverish dream (может быть, его падение без сознания в воротах после боя с Гландитом вызвало лихорадочное сновидение; collapse — полный упадок сил, обморочное состояние; обвал, разрушение)? Perhaps his comrades were still fighting for their lives against the Pony Tribesmen (может, его товарищи по-прежнему сражаются за свои жизни с варварами на пони). He rubbed his head with the stump of his hand (он потер голову обрубком руки). He licked his dry lips and tried to peer, once again, into the dimensions (он облизал сухие губы и попытался еще раз заглянуть в /другие/ измерения). But the other dimensions were closed to him (но другие измерения были закрыты для него). He paced the cabin, waiting for the morning (он зашагал по каюте, ожидая утра).

But then a strange droning sound came to his ears (но затем странный жужжащий звук дошел до его ушей; to drone — жужжать, гудеть; монотонно говорить). It made his brain itch (он заставил его мозг зудеть). He wrinkled his scalp (Корум поморщился; scalp — кожа черепа, кожа головы). He rubbed his face (он потер лицо). The droning increased (жужжание усилилось). His ears ached (его уши заболели). His teeth were on edge (зубы заломило; to be on edge — быть раздраженным; нервничать; edge — кромка, край). The volume grew (громкость /звука/ возросла; volume — объем, масса; величина; уровень громкости).

He put his good hand to one ear and covered the other with his arm (он приложил /ладонь/ здоровой руки к одному уху и прикрыл другое /покалеченной/ рукой). Tears came into his eye (слезы выступили в глазу). In the socket where the other eye had been a huge pain pulsed (в глазнице, где /раньше/ был другой глаз, страшная боль пульсировала).

He stumbled from side to side of the rotting cabin and even attempted to break through the door (он ходил, спотыкаясь, из одной стороны гниющей каюты в другую и даже попытался пробиться через = выломать дверь).
