). At the same instant my mother (в то же мгновение моя мать), alarmed by the cries and fighting (встревоженная криками и дракой), came running downstairs to help me (сбежала вниз, чтобы помочь мне). Between us we raised his head (между нами = вместе мы приподняли его голову). He was breathing very loud and hard (он дышал очень громко и тяжело); but his eyes were closed (но его глаза были закрыты), and his face a horrible colour (и лицо /было/ ужасного цвета).

1. 'Rum, he repeated. 'I must get away from here. Rum! rum!
2. I ran to fetch it; but I was quite unsteadied by all that had fallen out, and I broke one glass and fouled the tap, and while I was still getting in my own way, I heard a loud fall in that parlour, and, running in, beheld the captain lying full length upon the floor. At the same instant my mother, alarmed by the cries and fighting, came running downstairs to help me. Between us we raised his head. He was breathing very loud and hard; but his eyes were closed, and his face a horrible colour.
1. 'Dear, deary me (Боже мой), cried my mother (воскликнула мать), 'what a disgrace upon the house (какой позор на дом = для нашего трактира)! And your poor father sick (а твой бедный отец /как нарочно/ болен)!
2. In the meantime (тем временем), we had no idea what to do to help the captain (мы не имели ни понятия, что делать, чтобы помочь капитану), nor any other thought but that he had got his death (ни какой-либо другой мысли, кроме /как/ что он умер: «получил свою смерть») — hurt in the scuffle with the stranger (/смертельно/ ранен во /время/ потасовки с незнакомцем). I got the rum, to be sure (я принес рому, конечно), and tried to put it down his throat (попытался влить его ему в глотку = в рот; to put down — опускать, класть; выпивать); but his teeth were tightly shut (но его зубы были крепко сомкнуты), and his jaws as strong as iron (челюсти такие же крепкие, как железо = были сжаты, словно железные). It was a happy relief for us (это было счастливое облегчение для нас = к счастью) when the door opened and Doctor Livesey came in (когда дверь отворилась, и доктор Ливси вошел), on his visit to my father (на своем посещении = для осмотра моего отца).
