). We slipped along the hedges (мы проскользнули мимо изгородей;hedge — /живая/ изгородь, забор), noiseless and swift (бесшумно и быстро; noise — шум), nor did we see or hear anything to increase our terrors (мы ни видели, ни слышали ничего, /что могло бы/ усилить наши страхи), till, to our relief, the door of the 'Admiral Benbow' had closed behind us (пока, к нашему облегчению, дверь «Адмирала Бенбоу» не закрылась за нами).

My heart was beating finely when we two set forth in the cold night upon this dangerous venture. A full moon was beginning to rise and peered redly through the upper edges of the fog, and this increased our haste, for it was plain, before we came forth again, that all would be as bright as day, and our departure exposed to the eyes of any watchers.

He lay as we had left him, on his back (он лежал, как мы /и/ оставили его, на спине), with his eyes open, and one arm stretched out (с открытыми глазами и вытянув одну руку).
