1. 'Bill, said the stranger, in a voice that I thought he had tried to make bold and big.
2. The captain spun round on his heel and fronted us; all the brown had gone out of his face, and even his nose was blue; he had the look of a man who sees a ghost, or the evil one, or something worse, if anything can be; and, upon my word, I felt sorry to see him, all in a moment, turn so old and sick.

1. 'That's you, Bill (это ты = узнаю тебя, Билл), returned Black Dog (ответил Черный Пес), 'you're in the right of it, Billy (ты прав, Билли). I'll have a glass of rum from this dear child here (я возьму стакан рому от этого милого мальчугана; child — дитя, ребенок), as I've took such a liking to (которого я так полюбил: «к которому я взял такую симпатию»); and we'll sit down (и мы сядем), if you please (с вашего позволения = если хочешь), and talk square, like old shipmates (и поговорим прямо, как старые /корабельные/ товарищи).
