Английский с А. Конан Дойлем. Пиратские истории

 It was to welcome him that this ship with the Governor, the commandant, and the chiefs of the island was approaching. In another ten minutes they would all be under the guns of the Happy Delivery, and Sharkey would have won the greatest stake that ever a pirate played for yet.

“Bring him forward,” cried the pirate captain, as Craddock appeared between the carpenter and the quartermaster. “Keep the ports closed, but clear away the port guns, and stand by for a broadside. Another two cable lengths and we have them.”

“They are edging away,” said the boatswain (они отворачивают, – сказал боцман; to edge away – медленно пятиться /от кого-л./). “I think they smell us (мне думается, они нас унюхали; to smell – чувствовать запах, обонять).”

“That’s soon set right,” said Sharkey (это мы быстро поправим, – сказал Шарки; to set right – чинить, ремонтировать), turning his filmy eyes upon Craddock (переводя взгляд своих подернутых пленкой глаз на Крэддока). “Stand there, you – right there, where they can recognise you (встань здесь, эй, ты, вот здесь, где они смогут тебя узнать), with your hand on the guy (/возьмись/ рукою за брас; guy – пугало, чучело; брас /снасть бегучего такелажа, посредством которой ворочают реи/), and wave your hat to them (и помаши им шляпой). Quick, or your brains will be over your coat (быстро, иначе твои мозги окажутся на твоем камзоле). Put an inch of your knife into him, Ned (воткни в него на дюйм свой нож, Нэд). Now, will you wave your hat (ну, а теперь ты помашешь шляпой)? Try him again, then (ну-ка, попробуй еще). Hey, shoot him! stop him (эй стреляйте в него! остановите его)!”
