Won from the Waves — Page 8
She was already on a wind when again the mist closed over the ocean, and she was hidden from sight.
彼女はすでに風に乗っていたが、再び霧が海を覆い、その姿は見えなくなった。
"We will keep the _Nancy_ where she is," said Halliburt; "we don't know what may happen.
「ナンシー号はこのままにしておこう」とハリバートは言った。「何が起こるかわからない。
If yonder ship drives on the sands--and she has but a poor chance of keeping off them, I fear--we cannot let her people perish without trying to save them;
あの船が砂州に乗り上げるとしたら――そうならずに済む見込みはほとんどないと思うが――乗組員を救おうとせずに見殺しにするわけにはいかない。
and though it may be a hard job to get alongside the wreck, yet some of the poor fellows may be drifted away from her on rafts or spars, and we may be able to pick them up.
難破船に横付けするのは困難かもしれないが、哀れな者たちの中にはいかだや帆桁に乗って流されている者もいるかもしれず、助け出せるかもしれない。
Whatever happens, we must do our best."
何が起ころうとも、最善を尽くさなければならない。」
"Ay, ay, Adam," answered several of his hardy crew, who stood around him; "where you think fit to go we are ready to go too."
「よし、よし、アダム」と、彼の周りに立っていた屈強な乗組員の何人かが答えた。「あなたが行こうと思うところなら、どこへでもついていきます。」
The party had not long to wait before their worst apprehensions were realised.
一行は間もなく、最悪の恐れが現実のものとなるのを目の当たりにした。
The dull report of a gun, which their practised ears told them came from Norton Sands, was heard;
ノートン・サンズから届いたと熟練した耳が告げる、鈍い砲声が聞こえた。
in another minute the sound of a second gun boomed over the waters;
またたく間に、二発目の砲声が水面を越えて轟いた。
a third followed even before the same interval had elapsed.
同じ間隔も経たないうちに、三発目が続いた。
