Jim slips ashore as mutiny ripens

1 The becalmed Hispaniola lies off Treasure Island, open from end to end

2 Jim, at the backstay, sees Treasure Island's low grey shore for the first time

3 Long John cons the Hispaniola through the narrow passage while Jim watches him

4 From above, the Hispaniola lies alone in still water ringed by woods and summits

5 Dr. Livesey, at the rail in the stagnant anchorage, gives his verdict on the island

6 Jim stares at Long John singing and guesses at fear behind his cheerfulness

7 The captain, palms on the table, names to the squire the one man to rely on

9 Jim huddles under the bow thwart, looking back at the Hispaniola's black planking

11 Jim swings from the boat's bow on a low branch toward the shore
