Farewell to Home and Arrival in Bristol

1 The squire's white hall stands in the sodden winter park, one warm window lit in the wing

2 The boy dreams of the island from above: vast, sweltering, empty, ringed with white surf

3 The Hispaniola rides at anchor in Bristol, two boats of workpeople alongside, deck empty

4 By the fire, Jim reads the squire's letter aloud, naming the one-legged seaman untroubled

5 Jim leaps up laughing at the letter; Tom Redruth sinks onto a chest, crumpling his hat

6 In the Admiral Benbow parlour, a clumsy apprentice stacks pewter pots, eyeing Jim warily

7 Close-up: a single tear breaks from Jim Hawkins' lashes in the Admiral Benbow parlour

8 Jim looks back at the empty bend where the Admiral Benbow stood as Tom Redruth strides on

9 Morning on the Bristol quay: a forest of masts; Jim and Redruth walk tiny along the water

10 In sea-officer's blue, the squire rolls out of the inn; Jim and Redruth stop short

11 Squire Trelawney flings his arm toward the masts, shouting to Jim, frozen at his feet
