Ben Gunn had told me his boat was hidden near the white rock，and I found that rock farther along the beach．
本·葛恩告訴過我他的小船藏在白巖石附近，我在遠處的海邊找到了那巖石。
The little boat was hidden in the grass-a small，rough thing，made of wood and goat-skins．
小船藏在草叢中—是木頭和山羊皮制成的船，又小又粗糙。
I knew I should go back to the stockade now，
我知道我應該立刻回到寨子里去，
but an idea came to me and I sat down to wait for darkness．
但一種意念驅使我坐下來等著天黑。
As the last of the day disappeared，there were two lights in the blackness．
在落日的最后一絲余光消失之后，我只能看見兩點火光。
One came from a great fire on the shore where the pirates sat singing and drinking；
一個是岸上海盜們巨大的篝火堆，海盜們圍著篝火喝酒，唱歌；
the other came from the Hispaniola out at sea．
另一個來自海面上的伊斯帕尼奧拉號。
I put the small boat on my shoulders and carried it to the edge of the water，then I put it in the sea．
我把小船扛在肩上運到水邊，放在海里。
It was a very safe boat，but difficult to control．
這只船非常安全，
It turned every way except the one I wanted to go！
但極難控制，它就是不朝我要去的方向前進！
The sea carried me out to the Hispaniola．
我在海上向伊斯帕尼奧拉號劃去。
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．
我知道如果我在錯誤的時刻砍斷繩索，伊斯帕尼奧拉號就會突然離岸，我的小船也勢必傾覆。
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．
我抽出刀來一股一股地割繩索，在繩索將斷時稍停片刻。我聽見船艙里有兩個人高聲談話。
Both men sounded drunk，and both were angry．
兩個人好像喝醉了，而且都怒氣沖沖的。
