“What roguery is this?” shouted Craddock looking furiously around him (что за шутки? – в ярости заорал Крэддок, оглядываясь вокруг; roguery – мошенничество; шалости; rogue – негодяй, мерзавец, жулик, мошенник).

 But as he passed over the bulwarks, with one foot upon the deck and one knee upon the rail, a tow-bearded man, whom he had never before observed aboard his vessel, grabbed suddenly at his pistol. Craddock clutched at the fellow’s wrist, but at the same instant his mate snatched the cutlass from his side.

“What roguery is this?” shouted Craddock looking furiously around him.

But the crew stood in little knots about the deck (но

команда, стоявшая на палубе небольшими группами; to stand), laughing and whispering amongst themselves (ухмылялась и перешептывалась между собой) without showing any desire to go to his assistance (не выказывая никакого = ни малейшего желания прийти к нему на помощь). Even in that hurried glance Craddock noticed (даже при таком беглом взгляде Крэддок заметил; hurried – быстрый, поспешный) that they were dressed in the most singular manner (что одеты они были в весьма необычной манере; singular – исключительный, необыкновенный), with long riding-coats, full-skirted velvet gowns and coloured ribands at their knees (в долгополых куртках для верховой езды, богато украшенных бархатных кафтанах и с цветными лентами у колен; full – полный, целый; богатый, изобилующий; to skirt – окружать, окаймлять), more like men of fashion than seamen (больше походя на светских модников, чем на моряков). As he looked at their grotesque figures (глядя на их нелепые фигуры) he struck his brow with his clenched fist (он, стиснув кулак, ударил себя по лбу; to strike; brow – бровь; лоб, чело /поэт./) to be sure that he was awake (чтобы убедиться, что это не сон; awake – не спящий, бодрствующий).

The deck seemed to be much dirtier than when he had left it (палуба казалось намного грязнее, чем когда он покидал ее; to leave), and there were strange, sun-blackened faces turned upon him from every side (и со всех сторон на него смотрели: «к нему повернулись» почерневшие от солнца лица). Not one of them did he know save only Joshua Hird (никого из них он не знал, за исключением Джошуа Хирда). Had the ship been captured in his absence (/неужто/ корабль был захвачен в его отсутствие)? Were these Sharkey’s men who were around him (и не люди ли это Шарки, которые окружают его)? At the thought he broke furiously away (при этой мысли он яростно рванулся; to break away – сбежать, вырваться) and tried to climb over to his boat (и попытался перебраться назад в шлюпку), but a dozen hands were on him in an instant (но в одно мгновение дюжина рук ухватила его: «оказалась на нем»), and he was pushed aft through the open door of his own cabin (и через открытую дверь его втолкнули в его собственную каюту на корме).

And it was all different from the cabin which he had left (и здесь все отличалось от той каюты, которую он оставил /несколько дней назад/). The floor was different, the ceiling was different, the furniture was different (пол, потолок, мебель – все было другим). His had been plain and austere (/обстановка/ в его /каюте/ была простой и строгой). This was sumptuous and yet dirty (а эта была роскошной, однако неопрятной; dirty – грязный, нечистый), hung with rare velvet curtains splashed with wine-stains (богатые бархатные шторы, украшенные винными пятнами, завешивали /иллюминаторы/; to hang; rare – редкий, редкостный; to splash – забрызгивать), and panelled with costly woods (а /стены/, обшитые панелями из дорогих /пород/ дерева) which were pocked with pistol-marks (были все в оспинах от пистолетных выстрелов; to pock – покрываться оспинами, становиться рябым /о лице/; mark – знак, метка; отметина).

On the table was a great chart of the Caribbean Sea (на столе была расстелена: «находилась» огромная карта Карибского моря), and beside it, with compasses in his hand, sat a clean-shaven, pale-faced man (а возле нее с циркулем в руке сидел чисто выбритый человек с бледным лицом) with a fur cap and a claret-coloured coat of damask (в меховой шапочке и бордовом сюртуке из камчи; claret – кларет, красное вино бордо; цвет бордо). Craddock turned white under his freckles (веснушки /на лице/ Крэддока побледнели; to turn – поворачиваться, вращаться; менять цвет; white – белый; бледный) as he looked upon the long, thin, high-nostrilled nose and the red-rimmed eyes (когда он взглянул на длинный тонкий с высокими ноздрями нос и глаза с красными веками) which were turned upon him (которые смотрели на него: «повернулись к нему») with the fixed, humorous gaze of the master player (неподвижным насмешливым взглядом искусного игрока; master – хозяин; победитель) who has left his opponent without a move (который не оставил своему противнику ни одного хода).

“Sharkey?” cried Craddock (Шарки? – воскликнул Крэддок).

Sharkey’s thin lips opened and he broke into his high, sniggering laugh (тонкие губы Шарки приоткрылись, и он разразился своим резким визгливым смехом; to break into – внезапно начинать /что-л. делать/; to snigger – хихикать).

“You fool!” he cried (глупец! – крикнул он), and, leaning over, he stabbed Craddock’s shoulder again and again with his compasses (и, наклонившись вперед, принялся вонзать циркуль в плечо Крэддока; again and again – снова и снова). “You poor, dull-witted fool, would you match yourself against me (жалкий тупоголовый болван, ты хотел потягаться со мной; to match – подбирать под пару; мериться силами с /кем-л./)?”

It was not the pain of the wounds (не столько от боли в ранах), but it was the contempt in Sharkey’s voice (сколько от презрения в голосе Шарки) which turned Craddock into a savage madman (Крэддок обезумел: «превратился в свирепого безумца»; savage – дикий, находящийся в природном состоянии; жестокий, беспощадный).
