I struck for the light , but as soon as he turned the corner i went back and got into my skiff and bailed her out , and then pulled up shore in the easy water about six hundred yards , and tucked myself in among some woodboats ; for i couldn t rest easy till i could see the ferryboat start
我就朝有灯光的那边走去。不过，等到他在拐角处一转弯，我就往回赶，跳上船，把船上的积水舀光，把船停靠在六百码外静水区域的岸边，自己挤到几只木船那里看着，因为不见渡轮出动，我就安不下心来。
