1And with that he turned on his heel and rejoined the other two. They spoke together for a little, and though none of
2them started, or raised his voice, or so much as whistled, it was plain enough that Dr. Livesey had communicated my
3request, for the next thing that I heard was the captain giving an order to Job Anderson, and all hands were piped on
4deck. "My lads," said Captain Smollett, "I've a word to say to you. This land that we have sighted is the place we have
5been sailing for. Mr. Trelawney, being a very open-handed gentleman, as we all know, has just asked me a word or two,
6and as I was able to tell him that every man on board had done his duty, alow and aloft, as I never ask to see it done
7better, why, he and I and the doctor are going below to the cabin to drink YOUR health and luck, and you'll have grog
8served out for you to drink OUR health and luck. I'll tell you what I think of this: I think it handsome. And if you
9think as I do, you'll give a good sea-cheer for the gentleman that does it." The cheer followed--that was a matter of
10course; but it rang out so full and hearty that I confess I could hardly believe these same men were plotting for our
11blood. "One more cheer for Cap'n Smollett," cried Long John when the first had subsided. And this also was given with a
12will. On the top of that the three gentlemen went below, and not long after, word was sent forward that Jim Hawkins was
13wanted in the cabin. I found them all three seated round the table, a bottle of Spanish wine and some raisins before
14them, and the doctor smoking away, with his wig on his lap, and that, I knew, was a sign that he was agitated. The stern
15window was open, for it was a warm night, and you could see the moon shining behind on the ship's wake. "Now, Hawkins,"
16said the squire, "you have something to say. Speak up." I did as I was bid, and as short as I could make it, told the
17whole details of Silver's conversation. Nobody interrupted me till I was done, nor did any one of the three of them make
18so much as a movement, but they kept their eyes upon my face from first to last. "Jim," said Dr. Livesey, "take a seat."
19And they made me sit down at table beside them, poured me out a glass of wine, filled my hands with raisins, and all
20three, one after the other, and each with a bow, drank my good health, and their service to me, for my luck and courage.
21"Now, captain," said the squire, "you were right, and I was wrong. I own myself an ass, and I await your orders." "No
22more an ass than I, sir," returned the captain. "I never heard of a crew that meant to mutiny but what showed signs
23before, for any man that had an eye in his head to see the mischief and take steps according. But this crew," he added,
24"beats me." "Captain," said the doctor, "with your permission, that's Silver. A very remarkable man." "He'd look
25remarkably well from a yard-arm, sir," returned the captain. "But this is talk; this don't lead to anything. I see three
26or four points, and with Mr. Trelawney's permission, I'll name them." "You, sir, are the captain. It is for you to
27speak," says Mr. Trelawney grandly. "First point," began Mr. Smollett. "We must go on, because we can't turn back. If I
28gave the word to go about, they would rise at once. Second point, we have time before us--at least until this treasure's
29found. Third point, there are faithful hands. Now, sir, it's got to come to blows sooner or later, and what I propose is
30to take time by the forelock, as the saying is, and come to blows some fine day when they least expect it. We can count,
31I take it, on your own home servants, Mr. Trelawney?" "As upon myself," declared the squire. "Three," reckoned the
32captain; "ourselves make seven, counting Hawkins here. Now, about the honest hands?" "Most likely Trelawney's own men,"
33said the doctor; "those he had picked up for himself before he lit on Silver." "Nay," replied the squire. "Hands was one
34of mine." "I did think I could have trusted Hands," added the captain. "And to think that they're all Englishmen!" broke
35out the squire. "Sir, I could find it in my heart to blow the ship up." "Well, gentlemen," said the captain, "the best
36that I can say is not much. We must lay to, if you please, and keep a bright lookout. It's trying on a man, I know. It
37would be pleasanter to come to blows. But there's no help for it till we know our men. Lay to, and whistle for a wind,
38that's my view." "Jim here," said the doctor, "can help us more than anyone. The men are not shy with him, and Jim is a
39noticing lad." "Hawkins, I put prodigious faith in you," added the squire. I began to feel pretty desperate at this, for
40I felt altogether helpless; and yet, by an odd train of circumstances, it was indeed through me that safety came. In the
41meantime, talk as we pleased, there were only seven out of the twenty-six on whom we knew we could rely; and out of
42these seven one was a boy, so that the grown men on our side were six to their nineteen. PART THREE--My Shore Adventure
43XIII How I Began My Shore Adventure The appearance of the island when I came on deck next morning was altogether
44changed. Although the breeze had now utterly ceased, we had made a great deal of way during the night and were now lying
45becalmed about half a mile to the south-east of the low eastern coast. Grey-coloured woods covered a large part of the
46surface. This even tint was indeed broken up by streaks of yellow sand-break in the lower lands, and by many tall trees
47of the pine family, out-topping the others--some singly, some in clumps; but the general colouring was uniform and sad.
48The hills ran up clear above the vegetation in spires of naked rock. All were strangely shaped, and the Spy-glass, which
49was by three or four hundred feet the tallest on the island, was likewise the strangest in configuration, running up
50sheer from almost every side and then suddenly cut off at the top like a pedestal to put a statue on. The HISPANIOLA was
51rolling scuppers under in the ocean swell. The booms were tearing at the blocks, the rudder was banging to and fro, and
52the whole ship creaking, groaning, and jumping like a manufactory. I had to cling tight to the backstay, and the world
53turned giddily before my eyes, for though I was a good enough sailor when there was way on, this standing still and
54being rolled about like a bottle was a thing I never learned to stand without a qualm or so, above all in the morning,
55on an empty stomach. Perhaps it was this--perhaps it was the look of the island, with its grey, melancholy woods, and
56wild stone spires, and the surf that we could both see and hear foaming and thundering on the steep beach--at least,
57although the sun shone bright and hot, and the shore birds were fishing and crying all around us, and you would have
58thought anyone would have been glad to get to land after being so long at sea, my heart sank, as the saying is, into my
59boots; and from the first look onward, I hated the very thought of Treasure Island. We had a dreary morning's work
60before us, for there was no sign of any wind, and the boats had to be got out and manned, and the ship warped three or
61four miles round the corner of the island and up the narrow passage to the haven behind Skeleton Island. I volunteered
62for one of the boats, where I had, of course, no business. The heat was sweltering, and the men grumbled fiercely over
63their work. Anderson was in command of my boat, and instead of keeping the crew in order, he grumbled as loud as the
64worst. "Well," he said with an oath, "it's not forever." I thought this was a very bad sign, for up to that day the men
65had gone briskly and willingly about their business; but the very sight of the island had relaxed the cords of
66discipline.
