How much longer am I going to be stuck on this mountain-top, listening to Captain Anson's tall stories of the space-ways, and watching that distant raft, with its twin igloos?
Сколько же еще сидеть мне на этой горе, слушая космические побасенки капитана Ансона и глядя на плот с этими иглу?»

So then I took the bearings of a woody island that was down the river a piece, and as soon as it was fairly dark I crept out with my raft and went for it, and hid it there, and then turned in.
Я хорошенько заметил положение одного лесистого острова, немного ниже по реке, и, как только совсем стемнело, вывел плот из тайника, переправился к острову и спрятал его там, а сам лег спать.

"If the vagabonds do harbor mischief in their minds, they are too cunning to let it be seen; it's true, a raft may be in preparation in the woods, but it has not yet been brought down to the lake.
— Если бродяги замышляют недобро", они слишком хитры, чтобы действовать открыто. Быть может, они уже мастерят в лесу плот, но еще не перетащили его на озеро.

Spenser felt almost as exhausted, after the strain of the last hour, as any of the men out on the raft, two kilometers below him.

Five of them, indeed, appeared to be trying to get some sleep, and were tackling the problem in a startling but sensible manner. They were lying beside the raft, half submerged in the dust, rather like floating rubber dolls.
Пятеро из них, очевидно, решили поспать немного, избрав способ не совсем обычный, но в общем-то вполне разумный: они просто-напросто легли рядом с плотом, словно резиновые куклы, погрузившись наполовину в лунную пыль.

Sticking his elbow out of the window, he took a swig of beer and looked at the driver of the jeep pretty much the same way as the sailors on the bow of an aircraft carrier look down on a pygmy paddling over his raft to trade in rotten bananas.
Высунув локоть в окно, он отхлебнул пива и поглядел на водителя джипа примерно так, как моряки с кормы авианосца смотрят на пигмея, подплывшего на плоту торговать гнилыми бананами.

The contrast between the victor's approach to the raft and the supplicant's struck Gabrielle as more than a little pointed.

Abberkam’s house was of wood, riding a raft of tree trunks sunk in the peaty water of the marsh.
Жилище Абберкама было гораздо больше ее лачуги и сложено из бревен, отсыревших и замшелых: болотная вода просачивалась всюду.
