1. 'Black Dog?' I asked.

2. 'Ah! Black Dog,' says he. ' He's a bad 'un; but there's worse that put him on.

Now, if I can't get away nohow, and they tip me the black spot, mind you, it's

my old sea-chest they're after; you get on a horse — you can, can't you? Well,

there you get on a horse, and go to — well, yes, I will! — to this eternal doctor

swab, and tell him to pipe all hands magistrates and such — and he'll lay 'em

leg, Jim — him above all.'

1. 'But what is the black spot, Captain (но что такое черная метка, капитан)?' I

asked.

2. 'That's a summons, mate (это вызов /повестка/, приятель). I'll tell you if they

get that (я скажу тебе, если они пришлют ее). But you keep your weather-eye

open, Jim (но ты гляди в оба, Джим; weather-eye — бдительность,

настороженность; weather — погода, пора; eye — глаз ), and I'll share with

you equals, upon my honour (и я разделю с тобой /все/ пополам, честное слово;

to share with — делиться с; equal — равный, одинаковый; ровня; honour —

честь, благородство ).'

3. He wandered a little longer (он бредил немного /больше/ = стал

заговариваться; to wander — бродить, блуждать; бредить ), his voice growing

weaker (его голос становился слабее); but soon after I had given him his

medicine (но вскоре после того, как я дал ему лекарство), which he took like a

child, with the remark (которое он принял, как ребенок, с замечанием = он

заметил):

4. 'If ever a seaman wanted drugs, it's me (если когда-либо моряк нуждался в

лекарствах, /так/ это я).'

1. He fell at last into a heavy, swoon-like sleep (он впал, наконец, в тяжелый,

подобный обмороку сон), in which I left him (в котором я оставил его).

2. What I should have done had all gone well I do not know (что бы я сделал,

случись все хорошо, я не знаю). Probably I should have told the whole story to

the doctor (возможно, мне следовало бы рассказать всю историю доктору); for

I was in mortal fear (так как я был в смертельном страхе) lest the captain should

repent of his confessions and make an end of me (что капитан мог раскаяться в

своем признании и прикончить меня; lest — что, как бы не ). But as things fell

out (но так обстоятельства сложились; to fall out — выпадать, случаться ), my

poor father died quite suddenly that evening (/что/ мой бедный отец скончался

совершенно неожиданно в тот вечер), which put all other matters on one side

(что отодвинуло все другие дела на задний план: «на одну сторону /вбок/»).

Cur natural distress (глубокое горе; cur — грубый, трусливый; natural —

естественный, природный ), the visits of the neighbours (посещения соседей),

приводить в порядок, подготавливать ), and all the work of the inn to be carried

on in the meanwhile (и вся работа в трактире, которая должна была быть

сделана тем временем), kept me so busy (держали меня таким занятым = так

поглотили меня) that I had scarcely time to think of the captain (что у меня едва

было время подумать о капитане), far less to be afraid of him (не говоря /уже/ о

том, чтобы бояться его).

He got downstairs next morning, to be sure (он спустился вниз следующим

утром, конечно), and had his meals as usual (и ел как обычно; meal — еда,

пища ), though he ate little (хотя он ел мало), and had more, I am afraid, than his

usual supply of rum (и, боюсь, /выпил/ больше, чем обычно, рому; supply —

обеспечение, запас ), for he helped himself out of the bar (так как помогал себе =

угощался у стойки), scowling and blowing through his nose (хмурясь и фыркая

через нос; to scowl — хмуриться, смотреть сердито ), and no one dared to

cross him (и никто не смел перечить ему; to cross — пересекать,

противодействовать ). On the night before the funeral he was as drunk as ever

(вечером перед = накануне похорон он был пьян, как всегда); and it was

shocking, in that house of mourning (и было отвратительно, в том доме скорби

= в нашем печальном доме), to hear him singing away at his ugly old sea-song

(слышать, как он распевал свою безобразную морскую песню; to sing away —

петь без перерыва ); but, weak as he was, we were all in the fear of death for him

(но, хотя он был /очень/ слабым, мы все до смерти боялись его), and the doctor

was suddenly taken up with a case many miles away (а доктор был внезапно

отнят вызовом: «случаем/обстоятельством» = вызван к больному за много

миль от нас; to take up — поднимать, поглощать; заниматься; удалять ), and

was never near the house after my father's death (и был никогда = ни разу рядом

1. I have said the captain was weak (я сказал, /что/ капитан был слаб); and

indeed he seemed rather to grow weaker than regain his strength (и
