Description
- What is the story about?
Jim
Hawkins, whose mother kept the Admiral Benbow Inn and who shared in the
adventure from start to finish. An old sea dog came to this peaceful inn one
day, apparently intending to finish his life there. He hired Jim to keep a
watch out for other sailors, but despite all precautions, he was haunted out
and served with a black spot that mean death.
Jim
and his mother barely escaped death when Blind Pew, Black Dog, and other
pirates descended on the inn in search of the sea dog’s papers. Jim snatched up
a packet of papers to square the sailor’s debt, when they were forced to
retreat from the inn. The packet contained a map showing the location of the
pirate Flint’s buried treasure, which Jim, Doctor Livesey, and Squire Trelawney
determined to find. Fitting out a ship, they hired hands and set out on their
adventure. Unfortunately, their crew included one-legged Long John Silver, a
pirate also in search of the treasure, and a number of his confederates. Jim,
hidden in an apple barrel, overheard the plans of the crew to mutiny, and he
warned his comrades. The battle between the pirates and Jim’s party was an
exciting and bloody one, taking place both on the island and aboard the ship.
Jim escaped from the ship, discovered the marooned sailor, Ben Gunn, who had
already found and cached the treasure, and finally, the victors got safely
abroad the ship with the treasure.
