     Між іх вачыма пачаўся паядынак. Але капітан хутка здаўся. Ён схаваў свой ножык і апусціўся на крэсла, бармочачы, як пабіты пёс.

     Miž ix vačyma pačaŭsja pajadynak. Alje kapitan xutka zdaŭsja. Jon sxavaŭ svoj nóžyk i apusciŭsja na kresla, barmóčačy, jak pabity pjos.

     [original: Then followed a battle of looks between them; but the captain soon knuckled under, put up his weapon, and resumed his seat, grumbling like a beaten dog.]
