I now too have drunk something holodnenkogo, with ice, - Dik has sighed, enviously glancing towards a verandah.
But near to management, at bottom of a steel tower, have settled down three huge swells in cowards and white hats, with
automatic machines hanging down through a shoulder. Not that that they forbade to approach close to a verandah or to a
tower, but everyone who unintentionally came nearer to them, they have measured by the sights, executed such
bewilderment that to that remains only hasty, to retire.
That workers did not loaf about, Ball has ordered to burn all kartonno-plywood stuff rolling on island. In dazzling light of the
sun it was not visible to a flame; it seemed that shavings, a paper, plywood by itself blacken, are braided and disappear on
the sly, letting out in the sky a dark blue smoke.
In half an hour the wind dared in ocean ashes.
How about sending home, the sir? - Has asked one of foremen of Dik.
Has followed short.
And they waited. Yawned, rolled on cots, played to a stupor in cards and again yawned. Had unwillingly dinner, then had
supper. Black night has fallen. Without having exchanged, against usage, a word, Dik and Charlie have settled to sleep.
... Turmoil in the Morning has begun. Workers have lifted at daybreak and have ordered to assort the barracks, the become
empty warehouses and a management building. From the steam-ship to coast the boat scurried about. All have cheered up;
worked amicably and cheerfully, exchanging jokes. From evening despondency does not remain also a trace.
It seems, we move at last? - Charlie Diku has whispered.
It seems, so, olden time, - that has enough grinned.
By noon all buildings have been disassembled and shipped on a steamship. The last the heavy safe of the chief of building
has disappeared in hold, and Charlie under smiles of companions has felt sympathy loading it людям:Ведь when we dragged
this large object here, it was empty and easy, and now, chock-full papers, became twice heavier. Classified documents all,
likely...
When the property has been shipped, began to transport workers.
Having jumped in a boat, Charlie and Dik have looked back on the bored island.
Chained in cement and the concrete stitched by metal bars, it reminded a giant sea animal, a hump stuck out a grey back
from azure waters of ocean. At hump top the trellised steel tower which is propping up enormous sparkling egg towered, and
under it figures of guys in hats and with automatic machines loomed. More on a smooth surface of island there was nobody
and anything.
Workers have placed in hold. As Charlie was expressed, here it was much better, than in a pigsty in which they went here,
but nevertheless is worse, than it was possible to assume, judging by an elegant kind of the steam-ship.
If it is not pleasant, descend, the sir, and wait following flight, - someone has bitten. - then to you, undoubtedly, will give "lux".
