Won from the Waves — Page 14
Looking towards the landing-place, the tall figure of Sal of the Salt Sea was seen standing on the edge of the pier gazing down upon them.
Olhando para o local de desembarque, a figura alta de Sal do Mar Salgado foi vista de pé na beira do cais, olhando para eles.
"Foolish men! you have had your toil for nought, yet it is well for you that you could not reach the doomed ship.
"Homens tolos! vocês se esforçaram em vão, mas é bom para vocês que não tenham conseguido alcançar o navio condenado.
I warned you, and you disregarded me.
Eu os avisei, e vocês me ignoraram.
I commanded the winds and waves to stop your progress; they listened to my orders and obeyed me.
Eu ordenei aos ventos e às ondas que impedissem o vosso avanço; eles ouviram as minhas ordens e me obedeceram.
You will not another time venture to disregard my warnings.
Da próxima vez não se atreverão a ignorar os meus avisos.
Now go to your homes, and be thankful that I did not think fit to punish you for your folly.
Agora vão para as suas casas, e sejam gratos por eu não ter julgado conveniente punir-vos pela vossa loucura.
Again I warn you that yonder ship is doomed! is doomed! is doomed!"
Mais uma vez os aviso de que aquele navio está condenado! está condenado! está condenado!"
While the old woman was uttering these words in the same harsh, loud tones as before, Adam and his crew were making their way to the landing-place.
Enquanto a velha pronunciava essas palavras no mesmo tom áspero e alto de antes, Adão e sua tripulação abriam caminho em direção ao local de desembarque.
Before they reached it, however, the strange being had disappeared in the darkness, though her voice could be heard as she took her way apparently towards the cliffs.
Antes que chegassem lá, porém, o estranho ser havia desaparecido na escuridão, embora a sua voz pudesse ser ouvida enquanto ela seguia aparentemente em direção aos penhascos.
"Again, lads, I say, don't let what you have heard from the poor mad woman trouble you," exclaimed Adam.
"Mais uma vez, rapazes, digo, não deixem que o que ouviram da pobre mulher louca os perturbe", exclamou Adão.
"Come to my cottage, and we will have a bite of supper, and wait till we have the chance of getting off again."
"Venham à minha cabana, e teremos uma refeição ligeira, e esperaremos até termos a oportunidade de partir novamente."
Dame Halliburt, expecting them, had prepared supper.
A senhora Halliburt, esperando por eles, havia preparado a ceia.
The sanded floors and rough chairs and stools which formed the furniture of her abode were not to be injured by their dripping garments.
Os pisos arenosos e as cadeiras e bancos rústicos que constituíam a mobília da sua morada não seriam prejudicados pelas suas roupas encharcadas.
