To judge from his stories of his own adventures , Jerry had made some two or three thousand voyages , and had been invariably shipwrecked on each occasion on an island densely populated with bloodthirsty cannibals . Judging , also , by these same exciting adventures , he had been partially roasted and eaten frequently and had been scalped some fifteen or twenty times .
Судя по его рассказам о собственных приключениях, Джерри совершил около двух или трех тысяч плаваний и каждый раз терпел кораблекрушение на острове, густо населенном кровожадными каннибалами. Судя по тем же захватывающим приключениям, его часто поджаривали и ели, а с него снимали скальп раз пятнадцать или двадцать.
