The Boy Takes the Ship and Bargains with Hands

1 Jim has just reached the bowsprit as the flying jib bangs over with a report like a gun

2 As the main-boom swings inboard, Jim Hawkins sees the two watchmen on the after-deck

3 Jim Hawkins mockingly greets the bleeding coxswain, with the dead red-cap between them

4 Jim, soaked through, stops short at the foot of the companion stairs.

5 Seated by the rudder head, Jim Hawkins tells Israel Hands he has come to take the ship

6 Jim has struck the pirates' black flag and thrown it overboard.

7 Jim Hawkins steers the Hispaniola before a fair wind along the coast of Treasure Island

8 In the blazing noon sun, the wounded coxswain Israel Hands wears a haggard, crooked smile.
