So! the miscreants had made good the vessel, headed it for the island of whose existence they must have learned from the chart we so carelessly left upon the cabin table, and had plundered poor Bilge and me of our well-earned treasure!
Sick with the sense of human ingratitude I sank upon the sand (ΠΎΡ ΠΎΡΠΎΠ·Π½Π°Π½ΠΈΡ ΡΠ΅Π»ΠΎΠ²Π΅ΡΠ΅ΡΠΊΠΎΠΉ Π½Π΅Π±Π»Π°Π³ΠΎΠ΄Π°ΡΠ½ΠΎΡΡΠΈ /Ρ ΠΌΠ΅Π½Ρ/ ΠΏΠΎΠ΄ΠΊΠΎΡΠΈΠ»ΠΈΡΡ Π½ΠΎΠ³ΠΈ, ΠΈ Ρ ΠΏΠΎΠ²Π°Π»ΠΈΠ»ΡΡ Π½Π° ΠΏΠ΅ΡΠΎΠΊ; sick β Π±ΠΎΠ»ΡΠ½ΠΎΠΉ, ΡΠ»Π°Π±ΡΠΉ; ΠΈΡΠΏΡΡΡΠ²Π°ΡΡΠΈΠΉ ΡΠΎΡΠ½ΠΎΡΡ; sense β ΡΡΠ²ΡΡΠ²ΠΎ, ΠΎΡΡΡΠ΅Π½ΠΈΠ΅; ΠΏΠΎΠ½ΠΈΠΌΠ°Π½ΠΈΠ΅; to sink β ΡΠΎΠ½ΡΡΡ, ΡΡΠΎΠΏΠ°ΡΡ; ΠΎΠΏΡΡΠΊΠ°ΡΡΡΡ, ΠΏΠ°Π΄Π°ΡΡ).
