The Doctor's Party Abandons the Hispaniola

1 The Hispaniola lies motionless in Captain Kidd's Anchorage, sails furled, no wind

2 Hunter stands in the cabin doorway with news that Jim has gone ashore

3 Doctor Livesey first sees the stockade: a log-house and paling in the noon heat

4 Doctor Livesey stands frozen by the spring as a death cry rings over the island

5 At a dying man's cry, Doctor Livesey freezes by the spring, thinking of the boy

6 Doctor Livesey points to the stockade on the chart; Captain Smollett's hand joins

7 Captain Smollett raises his pistol and drives back a head at the fore hatch

8 Jettisoned muskets and cutlasses lie on the sand below as a powder keg sinks

9 An open watch lies on Captain Smollett's palm, its second hand creeping

10 Abraham Gray, knife cut on his cheekbone, runs from the fore hatch to the captain

11 Captain Smollett climbs into the overloaded boat as the squire pushes off
