1 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:19,144 The Hispaniola was far out in the bay, but at last, our small boat came alongside the ship and we stepped aboard. 2 00:00:19,145 --> 00:00:28,420 The first mate, Mr. Arrow, a brown old sailor with earrings in his ears, saluted us, and the squire greeted him like an old friend. 3 00:00:28,421 --> 00:00:35,270 But I soon observed that things were not the same between Mr. Trelawney and Captain Smollett. 4 00:00:35,271 --> 00:00:42,536 We'd hardly gone below deck and entered the captain's cabin when the captain himself came in and angrily shut the door behind him. 5 00:00:42,537 --> 00:00:48,309 "Captain Smollett, all is well, I hope?" Squire Trelawney said. 6 00:00:48,310 --> 00:00:56,979 "Well, sir," the captain said, "I'll be frank. I don't like this voyage, I don't like the men, and I don't like my first mate." 7 00:00:56,980 --> 00:01:02,183 "Perhaps, sir, you don't like the ship?" the squire asked angrily. 8 00:01:02,184 --> 00:01:06,062 "I can't say that, as I haven't tried her," the captain replied. 9 00:01:06,063 --> 00:01:10,652 "I guess you don't like your employer either?" the squire shot back. 10 00:01:10,653 --> 00:01:15,110 Seeing a fight brewing, Dr. Livesey cut in. "Calm down, gentlemen. 11 00:01:15,111 --> 00:01:19,756 Questions like that can only produce ill feelings, Squire," he said. 12 00:01:19,757 --> 00:01:24,474 "Captain, I'd like an explanation. Why don't you like this voyage?" 13 00:01:24,475 --> 00:01:30,302 "I've just learned we're going after treasure—heard it from my own crew," the captain said. 14 00:01:30,303 --> 00:01:38,302 "Searching for buried treasure can be dangerous, especially when the reason for the voyage is kept secret from the captain, Mr. Trelawney." 15 00:01:38,303 --> 00:01:43,725 "What are you suggesting, sir?" Trelawney asked indignantly. 16 00:01:43,726 --> 00:01:46,985 "There's been too much talk," the captain said. 17 00:01:46,986 --> 00:01:52,429 "I don't believe either of you know what we're facing, but I'll tell you what I think will happen— 18 00:01:52,430 --> 00:01:56,782 it'll come down to life or death, and a narrow escape, if we're lucky." 19 00:01:56,783 --> 00:02:00,463 "We are not as ignorant as you believe," Dr. Livesey said. 20 00:02:00,464 --> 00:02:04,375 "You say you don't like the crew. Aren't they good seamen?" 21 00:02:04,376 --> 00:02:09,824 "I should have been allowed to choose my own crew, sir," Captain Smollett replied. 22 00:02:09,825 --> 00:02:14,280 "Perhaps my friend should have included you in the hiring," said the doctor. 23 00:02:14,281 --> 00:02:20,019 "But the squire did not mean to overstep his authority. You don't like Mr. Arrow?" 24 00:02:20,020 --> 00:02:24,988 "I don't, sir. I believe he's a good seaman, but he's too chummy with the men. 25 00:02:24,989 --> 00:02:30,054 A first mate should behave with authority. Mr. Arrow acts as if he's one of the crew." 26 00:02:30,055 --> 00:02:33,570 "Tell us what you want, Captain," the doctor said. 27 00:02:33,571 --> 00:02:41,031 "If you're determined to go on this voyage," Smollett said, "then all the gunpowder and arms must be stored under my cabin. 28 00:02:41,032 --> 00:02:45,551 Second, I want to move your berths right beside my cabin." 29 00:02:45,552 --> 00:02:48,930 "Anything else?" asked the squire. 30 00:02:48,931 --> 00:02:52,317 "There's been too much blabbing," said the captain. 31 00:02:52,318 --> 00:02:55,358 "Far too much," the doctor agreed. 32 00:02:55,359 --> 00:03:01,214 "I've heard you have a map of an island, with crosses that show where the treasure is," the captain said, 33 00:03:01,215 --> 00:03:06,217 and then he named the exact latitude and longitude of the island. 34 00:03:06,218 --> 00:03:10,386 "I never told a soul!" Squire Trelawney cried. 35 00:03:10,387 --> 00:03:14,214 "The crew knows all about the island, sir," said the captain. 36 00:03:14,215 --> 00:03:18,963 "Livesey, you or Hawkins must have said something," the squire said. 37 00:03:18,964 --> 00:03:22,666 "It doesn't matter who," replied the doctor. 38 00:03:22,667 --> 00:03:33,198 "Well, gentlemen," the captain said, "I don't know who has this map, but keep it secret, even from me and Mr. Arrow. Otherwise, I will resign." 39 00:03:33,199 --> 00:03:39,527 "You fear a mutiny," the doctor said. "That's the reason you want all of us and the guns in the stern of the ship." 40 00:03:39,528 --> 00:03:44,602 "I wouldn't go to sea if I had evidence of a possible mutiny," Captain Smollett said. 41 00:03:44,603 --> 00:03:49,741 "No captain would do that. But I am responsible for the life of everyone on board. 42 00:03:49,742 --> 00:03:55,214 So I'm asking you to take certain precautions or let me resign, that's all." 43 00:03:55,215 --> 00:04:01,385 "I will do as you desire," said the squire, "but I don't like your attitude very much." 44 00:04:01,386 --> 00:04:08,731 "I don't care what you think, sir," the captain said. "But I must do my duty." And with that, he left. 45 00:04:08,732 --> 00:04:18,560 "Trelawney," the doctor said, "I believe you've managed to get two honest men on board with you—that man and Long John Silver." 46 00:04:18,561 --> 00:04:28,871 "Of course Silver is honest," the squire yelled, "but as for that intolerable captain, I think he is unmanly and downright unpatriotic." 47 00:04:28,872 --> 00:04:33,097 "Well," the doctor said, "we shall see." 48 00:04:33,098 --> 00:04:40,173 When we came back on deck, the men were already moving the arms and gunpowder into the space underneath the cabin. 49 00:04:40,174 --> 00:04:46,505 The captain and Mr. Arrow supervised while the men worked hard to fix up the whole ship. 50 00:04:46,506 --> 00:04:54,906 Six new berths had been constructed in the stern of the ship from part of the galley, with a passageway to the captain's cabin on the port side. 51 00:04:54,907 --> 00:05:01,615 It was decided that the doctor, the squire, Redruth, Hunter, Joyce, and I would sleep there. 52 00:05:01,616 --> 00:05:05,470 Mr. Arrow would sleep on deck in a hammock to keep watch. 53 00:05:05,471 --> 00:05:12,321 As the crew finished their work, Long John and a few men came alongside the ship in a shore boat. 54 00:05:12,322 --> 00:05:20,113 Long John scrambled up the side of the ship like a monkey and called out, "Yo ho, mates! What's going on?" 55 00:05:20,114 --> 00:05:23,630 "We're moving all the guns," a man answered. 56 00:05:23,631 --> 00:05:30,166 "Why?" Long John bellowed. "If we do that, it will delay our departure!" 57 00:05:30,167 --> 00:05:36,977 "It's my orders!" snapped the captain. "You may go below, cook. The men will want supper." 58 00:05:36,978 --> 00:05:43,141 "Aye, aye, sir," Long John answered, and saluting, he disappeared toward the galley. 59 00:05:43,142 --> 00:05:46,315 "He's a good man, Captain," the doctor said. 60 00:05:46,316 --> 00:05:55,483 "Very likely, sir," Captain Smollett replied. "Easy with that, men—easy," he said to the men carrying the crates of gunpowder. 61 00:05:55,484 --> 00:05:59,172 Then he saw me examining a small cannon on deck. 62 00:05:59,173 --> 00:06:05,961 "Hey, you! Ship's boy!" he shouted. "Leave that alone! Go to the cook and get to work." 63 00:06:05,962 --> 00:06:12,599 As I was hurrying off, I heard him say quite loudly to the doctor, "I'll have no favorites on my ship." 64 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:20,079 I fully agreed with the squire. I hated the captain deeply.
