Chapter 12 Israel Hands
第12章 伊斯萊爾·漢茲
I lost no time and climbed up the rope on to the deck of the ship．
我不失時機地抓住纜繩，爬上大船的甲板。
The two men were there，red-cap on his back，Israel Hands against the side，his face white There was dark blood around them on the deck，
兩個留守的海盜都在甲板上，戴紅帽的仰面躺在甲板上，伊斯萊爾·漢茲靠在船舷上，臉色蒼白。他們周圍的甲板上有斑斑血跡，
and I was sure each had killed the other in their drunken fight．
我斷定他們酒醉之后自相殘殺，結果同歸于盡了。
Then Israel Hands turned with a low cry of pain．He looked across at me and whispered one word：Rum．
這時伊斯萊爾·漢茲翻了一下身，痛苦地呻吟了一聲。他看了我一眼，吐出一句話：朗姆酒。
I went below to the cabin where there were empty bottles on the floor and tobacco smoke filled the air．
我下到船艙里，地上全是空瓶，空氣中充滿了煙味。
I found a bottle with some rum left in it，and found some water and some bread and cheese for myself．
我發現只有一只瓶子里還有一點酒；我給自己找到一些面包干和干酪。
I took the bottle back on deck，where Hands drank half the rum before taking the bottle from his mouth．
我走上甲板把酒遞給漢茲，他一口氣就喝下去一半。
By thunder！he said．I wanted some of that．But where have you come from？
媽的！他說。我正需要這個。你是從哪兒來的？
關于《金銀島》
吉姆非常喜歡聽比爾船長講故事，那些聽起來挺嚇人的經歷，像是罪犯被處以絞刑、海盜雙手被綁而且蒙眼走跳板、突如其來的海上大風暴、遍地骨骸的西班牙海盜巢穴等。
