He lingered all day , breathing loudly like the old buccaneer at home in his apoplectic fit , but the bones of his chest had been crushed by the blow and his skull fractured in falling , and some time in the following night , without sign or sound , he went to his Maker .
Из восьми человек, павших в бою, только трое еще дышали — тот самый пират, которого застрелили в бойнице, Хантер и капитан Смоллетт; и из них первые двое были почти мертвы; мятежник действительно умер под ножом доктора, и Хантер, что бы мы ни делали, так и не пришел в сознание в этом мире. Он задержался на весь день, громко дыша, как старый пират дома в апоплексическом припадке, но кости его грудной клетки были раздроблены ударом, а череп проломлен при падении, и на следующую ночь, без каких-либо признаков или звуков, он отправился к своему Создателю.
