Ben Gunn had told me his boat was hidden near the white rock，and I found that rock farther along the beach．
本·葛恩告诉过我他的小船藏在白岩石附近，我在远处的海边找到了那岩石。
The little boat was hidden in the grass-a small，rough thing，made of wood and goat-skins．
小船藏在草丛中—是木头和山羊皮制成的船，又小又粗糙。
I knew I should go back to the stockade now，
我知道我应该立刻回到寨子里去，
but an idea came to me and I sat down to wait for darkness．
但一种意念驱使我坐下来等着天黑。
As the last of the day disappeared，there were two lights in the blackness．
在落日的最后一丝余光消失之后，我只能看见两点火光。
One came from a great fire on the shore where the pirates sat singing and drinking；
一个是岸上海盗们巨大的篝火堆，海盗们围着篝火喝酒，唱歌；
the other came from the Hispaniola out at sea．
另一个来自海面上的伊斯帕尼奥拉号。
I put the small boat on my shoulders and carried it to the edge of the water，then I put it in the sea．
我把小船扛在肩上运到水边，放在海里。
It was a very safe boat，but difficult to control．
这只船非常安全，
It turned every way except the one I wanted to go！
但极难控制，它就是不朝我要去的方向前进！
The sea carried me out to the Hispaniola．
我在海上向伊斯帕尼奥拉号划去。
I knew if I cut the anchor rope at the wrong moment，the Hispaniola would make a sudden move out to sea，and my boat might be knocked out of the water．
我知道如果我在错误的时刻砍断绳索，伊斯帕尼奥拉号就会突然离岸，我的小船也势必倾覆。
So I took my knife and cut almost through the rope，then waited，listening to the sound of two loud voices coming from the cabin．
我抽出刀来一股一股地割绳索，在绳索将断时稍停片刻。我听见船舱里有两个人高声谈话。
Both men sounded drunk，and both were angry．
两个人好像喝醉了，而且都怒气冲冲的。
