 PART SIX Captain Silver _ MERO SIXA Navi cefa Silva         28. In the Enemy's Camp         _ 28. Lo loka de plu non-ami The pirates were in possession of the house and stores... _Plu mari klepto-pe pa habe domi e vora-ma. There were six of the buccaneers, all told; not another man was left alive. Id pa es sixa ex panto klepto-pe, panto. U plus andro ne pa habe bio. The parrot sat, preening her plumage, on Long John's shoulder. _U-la psitaki habe sedi lo skapa de Silva, tem akti sistema plu pina de se. "So," said he, "here's Jim Hawkins... _An pa dice, "Seqe-co Hokin es ci! "I always wanted you to jine and take your share, and die a gentleman... You can't go back to your own lot, for they won't have you..." "Mi pa volu panto-kron; tu akti unio, e gene mero ex na, e lose bio iso veri andro. Tu ne pote ki re a grega de se, ka mu ne volu tu." My friends, then, were still alive... Kausa-co a-kron plu ami de mi habe bio. "Yes...

 27. "Pieces of Eight"         _ 27. "Plu aureo Moneta" The dirk, where it had pinned my shoulder to the mast, seemed to burn like a hot iron... _U-la seka-ru; qi pa fixa skapa de mi a veli dendro, feno es piro termo feru-ru. The knife, in fact, had come the nearest in the world to missing me altogether; it held me by a mere pinch of skin... _Veri-co seka-ru pa ki proxi ultra mi. Id pa tena mi per mikro plika ex derma. I went below and did what I could for my wound... _Mi pa ki ad infra, e akti panto posi ra pro vulne. By this time the whole anchorage had fallen into shadow... _A u-la kron, un holo loka pa proto gene skoto. Holding the cut hawser in both hands for a last security, I let myself drop softly overboard. _Tem tena ge-seka fi-fa in bi manu pro imuni, mi lase; mi gene lento kade trans navi margina. I had nothing nearer my fancy than to get home to the stockade and boast of my achievements. _Mi fu este maxi hedo, pro ki ad eko-lo in plu dendro-bloka mur...

 26. Israel Hands         _ 26. Israel Han We had scarce two miles to run; but the navigation was delicate... _Na pa habe proxi bi milia pro kine. Anti-co u kine trans mari pa es komplexi. He replied: "We're near the bit now, and she's too much way on her. Starboard a little--so--steady--starboard--larboard a little--steady--steady!" _An pa reakti, "Na nu habe proxi a loka. Anti-co u direkti habe mega ero. Mikro a dextro - tali - rekti - dextro - mikro a levo - rekti - rekti!" I put the helm hard up, and the HISPANIOLA swung round rapidly and ran stem on for the low, wooded shore. _Mi pa akti tropi de direkti-me ad rekti ante. Po-co navi ISPANIOLA pa akti tropi e ki rekti a basi, dendro mari margina. When I looked round, there was Hands, already half-way towards me, with the dirk in his right hand. _Kron mi vide peri se, Han pa es la, a mi per semi tele, ko seka-ru in dextro manu. Suddenly the HISPANIOLA struck, staggered, ground for an instant in the sand, ...

 25. I Strike the Jolly Roger         _25. Mi apo signi-te Alegro Rojer I lost no time, crawled back along the bowsprit, and tumbled head foremost on the deck. _Mi ne pa lose tem, ki per manu e poda per horizo dendro, e akti kade ko kefa ad ante a navi tegu. There were the two watchmen, sure enough: red-cap on his back, as stiff as a handspike... Israel Hands propped against the bulwarks... _Bi tena-pe pa es la, sura: Rubi kefa-ve, dorsa a pedi-lo, morta, e Israel Han, ge-klina a latu mura de navi. Israel Hands turned partly round and with a low moan... _Han pa akti mikro tropo ko mikro algo soni. Said I, "I've come aboard to take possession of this ship, Mr. Hands; and you'll please regard me as your captain until further notice." _Mi pa dice, "Mi ki a ci, tende gene proprie de u-ci navi, andro Han. Plus-co tu fu este a fu-tem info; mi es navi cefa de tu." I ran to the colour lines, handed down their cursed black flag, and chucked it overboard. _Mi pa ki pe...

 24. The Cruise of the Coracle         _24. U Viagia de kapri navi It was broad day when I awoke and found myself tossing at the south-west end of Treasure Island. _Id pa es foto di, kron mi gene vigi, e detekti; mi ki a supra e infra per plu unda lo sud-ocide gono de Pluto-ma Nesia. Crawling together on flat tables of rock or letting themselves drop into the sea with loud reports I beheld huge slimy monsters... _Tem repti kon alelo epi plu plati petro, alo lase; mu kade ad-in mari ko plu forti soni, mi pa vide plu sti-fobo mega limo zoa. I have understood since that they were sea lions... _Po-co mi pa gene info; mu es plu foki. Right in front of me, not half a mile away, I beheld the HISPANIOLA under sail. _Mi pa vide navi ISPANIOLA ko plu veli direkti ante se, ne plus tele de semi milia. She fell right into the wind's eye, was taken dead aback, and stood there awhile helpless, with her sails shivering. _Id pa gene moti simpli per venti, sto kine, e akti minus ...

 23. The Ebb-tide Runs         _23. Plu Unda ki ab THE coracle... was the most cross-grained, lop-sided craft to manage. _U kapri navi pa es forti kontra e non-horizo navi de direkti. By good fortune, paddle as I pleased, the tide was still sweeping me down; and there lay the HISPANIOLA... _Tem mi tenta akti moti per moti-ru, plu unda pa du moti ab margina per boni okasio. U navi ISPANIOLA es la. I was alongside of her hawser and had laid hold. _Mi pa es lo tena-ru fi-fa, e tena id. I made my mind up, took out my gully, opened it with my teeth, and cut one strand after another, till the vessel swung only by two. _Mi pa akti decide, moti ex u plika seka-ru, sti aperi de id per plu denti, e akti seka de mo fi po difere fi, a-kron u navi akti oscila per simpli bi fi. All this time I had heard the sound of loud voices from the cabin... Tem-co mi pa audi plu forti soni ex bi voka ex navi-cefa kamera. One I recognized for the coxswain's, Israel Hands... The other wa...

 PART FIVE My Sea Adventure _MERO PENTA U Mari viagia de mi 22. How My Sea Adventure Began         _22. U Mode; per qi u viagia de mi proto es As for the captain, his wounds were grievous indeed, but not dangerous. _De navi cefa, plu vulne de an pa habe veri severi, anti ne risko. The doctor took up his hat and pistols, girt on a cutlass, put the chart in his pocket, and with a musket over his shoulder crossed the palisade... _U medika pa gene kefa-ve e bi manu fusili, zona ko gladi, moti carta ad-in marsu, e ki trans mura ko fusili epi skapa. Gray and I were sitting together... Gre e mi akti sedi kon alelo. Replied I, "If I am right, he's going now to see Ben Gunn." Mi reakti, "Si mi habe korekti, an ki, tende vide Gon." The house being stifling hot... I began to get another thought into my head, which was not by any means so right. _Tem u-la domi habe tali termo, mi proto gene idea in kefa; qi habe korekti per nuli mode. I took the first step towards my escapa...

 Some Glosists have insisted that u(n)/plu should be deleted after prepositions. The rule is MAY be deleted (really not a rule at all). Using u(n)/plu helps to determine the number of the noun following it.  I believe the confusion came from a misunderstanding of the way Hogben deleted these words. A careful analysis of the way he deleted them shows that he deleted u(n) after prepositions and verboids, never plu . In this way, accuracy of number is preserved. Hogben never formulated this as a grammar rule. If you do not use verboids (most Glosists don't), please use u(n)/plu  after the verb to separate it from the object.  Do what YOU want, develop your own style of Glosa.

         21. The Attack         _21. U Milita An hour passed away. _Mo horo pa gene usa. Suddenly Joyce whipped up his musket and fired. The report had scarcely died away ere it was repeated and repeated from without in a scattering volley, shot behind shot... _Jois pa moti subito fusili a supra e akti. U soni de id pa habe fini mikro simpli tem, kron plu difere fusili face soni re e re extra e a-trans imuni-lo, buleta po buleta. Suddenly, with a loud huzza, a little cloud of pirates leaped from the woods on the north side and ran straight on the stockade. _U mikro grega ex plu mari klepto-pe ko mega voka pa akti subito salta ex dendro-fa lo nordi latu, e akti dromo tako a mura. Four had made good their footing inside our defences... _Tetra ex mu pa gene es ad-in imuni loka de na. In a moment, the four pirates had swarmed up the mound and were upon us. _Po-co subito tetra-la klepto-pe pa kine a supra, e es anti na. The log-house was full of ...

 20. Silver's Embassy         _20. Un Ofere de Silva "Cap'n Silver, sir, to come on board and make terms," he shouted. _An pa dice fo-soni, "Navi cefa Silva, andro, pro ki in navi e face akorda." "My man," said Captain Smollett, "I have not the slightest desire to talk to you. If you wish to talk to me, you can come..." _Navi cefa Smolet pa dice, "Andro, mi este nuli desira de dice ko tu. Si tu volu dice ko mi, tu pote ki proxi." Then he advanced to the stockade, threw over his crutch, got a leg up, and with great vigour and skill succeeded in surmounting the fence... _Po-co Silva pa ki a mura, bali auxi baci trans id, moti mo poda de se a supra, e per mega resista e tekno moti se trans mura. He was tricked out in his best; an immense blue coat, thick with brass buttons... _An pa habe boni vesti epi se: u mega ciano toga ko poli kupra-zinka butona. "If you have anything to say, my man, better say it," said the captain....

Histori; ge-dura per Hokin: U Milita-lo inter dendro-kauli mura AS soon as Ben Gunn saw the colours he came to a halt, stopped me by the arm, and sat down. _Kron Gon pa vide signi-te, an sto ki, e sto; mi ki, e gene sedi. "Now," said he, "there's your friends, sure enough. _An dice, "Plu ami de tu es la, sura. "Why, in a place like this, where nobody puts in but gen'lemen of fortune, Silver would fly the Jolly Roger..." _"Sti logi. Silva sio moti signi-te 'Alegro Rojer' a supra lo loka iso u-ci loka; a qi nuli-pe anti plu 'okasio-pe' ki." I.. after a long detour to the east, crept down among the shore-side trees. _Mi pa ki per manu e genu inter plu dendro proxi mari margina, po longi via ad esti. The HISPANIOLA still lay where she had anchored; but, sure enough, there was the Jolly Roger--the black flag of piracy--flying from her peak. _U navi ...

Histori; ge-dura per medika: U Fini a di mo de milita Forty paces farther we came to the edge of the wood and saw the stockade in front of us. _Na pa ki a margina de dendro-fa po 40 gradu tele, e vide dendro-kauli mura ante se. At the same time, seven mutineers--Job Anderson, the boatswain, at their head--appeared... _Iso-kron seti no-reakti-pe - un ergo-pe cefa Andason ante mu - dona vista de se. Four shots came in rather a scattering volley, but they did the business: one of the enemy actually fell... _Na pa bali tetra buleta per trans-longi mode. Anti-co mu pa akti boni - mo ex plu non-ami pa gene kade. At that moment a pistol cracked in the bush, a ball whistled close past my ear, and poor Tom Redruth stumbled and fell... _Kron-la u manu fusili face soni in planta densi-ma. U buleta pa face sibila soni proxi oti de mi. Po-co sti-konsola Redrut pa lose sta e gene kade. We we...
