      Usje hetyja tryccacʹ harmat — ci tamu, što pradbačylasja bura, ci prósta dlja tahó, kab nadacʹ sudnu mirny xaraktar, — byli prymacavany na mjescax trajnymi lancuhami takim čynam, što žerly ŭpiralisja ŭ ščylʹna začynjenyja ljuki.
      [original: Ces trente caronades, soit qu’on prévît une tempête, soit plutôt qu’on voulût donner une figure débonnaire au navire, étaient à la serre, c’est-à-dire fortement amarrées en dedans par de triples chaînes et la volée appuyée aux écoutilles tamponnées;]
      These thirty carronades—whether in anticipation of a storm or simply to give the ship a peaceful appearance—were fastened in place by triple chains in such a way that the muzzles were pressing against the tightly sealed hatches.
