 34. And Last         _ 34. E fini THE next morning we fell early to work, for the transportation of this great mass of gold near a mile by land to the beach, and thence three miles by boat to the HISPANIOLA... _Kron seqe matina, na pa komen ergo de moti u-ci mega ponde ex aureo proxi mo milia trans tera ad oceani margina, po la tri milia per navi a navi ISPANIOLA. The wind brought us a noise between shrieking and singing. _U venti pa moti fono; qi es inter fo-soni dice e kanta. Said the doctor; "'tis the mutineers!" _U medika dice, "Id es plu no-reakti-pe!" "All drunk, sir," struck in the voice of Silver from behind us. _U voka de Silva po na dice, "Panto mu habe narko, andro." One fine morning, we weighed anchor... _Na pa moti tena-ru ad-in navi kron uno boni matino. It was just at sundown when we cast anchor in a most beautiful land-locked gulf, and were immediately surrounded by shore boats full of Negroes and Mexican Indians and half-blo...

I could not forbear whispering, "So you've changed sides again." _Mi ne pote sto dice no-soni, "Seqe-co tu pa akti re kambio de plu ami."

 32. The Treasure-hunt--The Voice Among the Trees         _ 32. U Cerka de pluto-ma - u voka inter plu dendro The whole party sat down as soon as they had gained the brow of the ascent. _Un holo grega pa gene sedi, po-kron mu pa ki a margina de akro de monti.

"I don't feel sharp, "growled Morgan. "Thinkin' o' Flint..." Margan pa dice, "Mi ne este hedo tem plu idea de Flinti." All of a sudden, out of the middle of the trees in front of us, a thin, high, trembling voice struck up the well-known air and words: _U voka - debili, alti-freqe, e tremulo - komen kanta per plu boni ge-ski verba subito ex meso de plu dendro ante na:      "Fifteen men on the dead man's chest--       Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!" ...
