Opening the dead captain's chest

1 Mrs. Hawkins confronts the men in the hamlet street, little Jim drawn up at her shoulder

2 Jim and Mrs. Hawkins walk the frozen road back to the Admiral Benbow under a red moon

3 Kneeling by the dead captain, Jim holds the black spot to the candle and reads it

4 Jim draws the string from the dead captain's neck and raises the captain's own knife

5 Jim's fingers lift a small iron key on a bit of tarry string above the dead captain's bared chest.

6 Mrs. Hawkins throws back the chest lid as candlelight strikes her face and Jim's

7 By candlelight, Jim feels the gold in a canvas bag beside an oilcloth bundle

8 Pew leans on the bolted door of the Admiral Benbow, a candle in the window above

9 Jim lifts the oilskin packet from the dead captain's chest as his mother stares

10 A thin ribbon of fog still hides Jim and his mother as they run toward the hamlet

11 Jim and his mother look back as dark figures with a lantern run towards them

12 Jim hides under the bridge arch while his mother lies senseless on the moonlit bank
