1 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:20,769 I jumped out of the barrel and dived behind the foresail when I heard feet pound across the deck. 2 00:00:20,770 --> 00:00:26,769 Then I joined Hunter and Dr. Livesey in the rush to see the land that had been sighted. 3 00:00:26,770 --> 00:00:34,650 The fog began to lift about the same time the moon appeared, and we saw two hills a couple of miles apart on the island. 4 00:00:34,651 --> 00:00:41,857 Rising behind them was a third, higher hill whose peak was still buried in fog. 5 00:00:41,858 --> 00:00:47,170 "Men," Captain Smollett said, "has anyone ever seen that island before?" 6 00:00:47,171 --> 00:00:53,431 "I have, sir," Long John said. "I was there once with a merchant ship." 7 00:00:53,432 --> 00:00:58,379 "Can we safely drop anchor on the south side?" the captain asked. 8 00:00:58,380 --> 00:01:06,888 "Aye, sir," replied Long John. "That small bit of land is called Skeleton Island—it was a place for pirates once. 9 00:01:06,889 --> 00:01:13,218 The three hills on the main island are Foremast Hill, Main Hill, and Mizzen Hill. 10 00:01:13,219 --> 00:01:20,239 The pirates kept a lookout on Main Hill when they were anchored, so they called it Spyglass Hill." 11 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:25,045 "I have a chart here," Captain Smollett said. "See if that's the place." 12 00:01:25,046 --> 00:01:33,145 Long John's eyes gleamed eagerly as he took the chart, but it wasn't the map we found in Billy Bones' chest. 13 00:01:33,146 --> 00:01:41,818 It was a copy that was complete except for the red crosses and the written notes—the information that would lead anyone to the treasure. 14 00:01:41,819 --> 00:01:45,670 Long John hid his disappointment and annoyance. 15 00:01:45,671 --> 00:01:53,596 "Yes, sir," he said, "that's the spot. 'Captain Kidd's Anchorage'—that's what my shipmates called it. 16 00:01:53,597 --> 00:01:59,249 There's a strong current that runs along the south and then heads north along the west coast. 17 00:01:59,250 --> 00:02:02,331 You were very wise to slow down here. 18 00:02:02,332 --> 00:02:07,948 If you intend to stay for a time, there's no better place for the ship." 19 00:02:07,949 --> 00:02:12,994 "Thank you," Captain Smollett said. "I'll ask for your help later. You may go." 20 00:02:12,995 --> 00:02:18,520 I was surprised by how cool Long John was, admitting he knew the island. 21 00:02:18,521 --> 00:02:26,346 Then he came near me and laid his hand on my arm, and I could scarcely conceal a shudder. 22 00:02:26,347 --> 00:02:36,926 "Ah," he said, "this island is a sweet spot for a lad. You'll swim, climb trees, and run up the hills like a goat. 23 00:02:36,927 --> 00:02:41,238 Tell me when you want to go exploring, and I'll make up a snack for you." 24 00:02:41,239 --> 00:02:45,301 Then he clapped me on the shoulder and hobbled off. 25 00:02:45,302 --> 00:02:51,357 Captain Smollett, the squire, and Dr. Livesey were talking together on the quarterdeck. 26 00:02:51,358 --> 00:02:56,544 I was anxious, but I dared not interrupt them while the crew was listening. 27 00:02:56,545 --> 00:03:02,414 I was trying to think of some way to get their attention when Dr. Livesey called to me. 28 00:03:02,415 --> 00:03:05,855 "Jim, fetch my pipe for me!" he said. 29 00:03:05,856 --> 00:03:12,719 I ran and got his pipe, and when I gave it to him, I whispered, "Doctor, please do as I say. 30 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:19,458 Get the captain and squire down to the cabin, and then send for me. I have terrible news." 31 00:03:19,459 --> 00:03:26,000 The doctor's face turned serious, but he recovered quickly. "Thank you, Jim," he said quite loudly. 32 00:03:26,001 --> 00:03:32,745 Then, acting as if he'd asked me a question, he added, "That was all I wanted to know." 33 00:03:32,746 --> 00:03:38,353 The doctor then rejoined Captain Smollett and the squire as they looked toward the island. 34 00:03:38,354 --> 00:03:45,965 They spoke together, and though no one made a move, it was clear Dr. Livesey had communicated my request. 35 00:03:45,966 --> 00:03:49,872 "Mr. Anderson, summon the men," the captain ordered. 36 00:03:49,873 --> 00:03:55,412 Job blew a few notes on his pipe and the crew assembled on deck. 37 00:03:55,413 --> 00:04:00,197 "My lads," Captain Smollett said, "you have all performed your duties admirably, 38 00:04:00,198 --> 00:04:05,044 so Mr. Trelawney wants you to have a drink to celebrate a job well done. 39 00:04:05,045 --> 00:04:10,363 He and I and the doctor are going below for a few moments, and then you will have some rum. 40 00:04:10,364 --> 00:04:15,634 If you agree, let's give Mr. Trelawney a good sea cheer." 41 00:04:15,635 --> 00:04:24,076 The cheer followed, and it rang out so full and hearty, I could hardly believe these same men were plotting to kill us. 42 00:04:24,077 --> 00:04:31,861 "A cheer for Captain Smollett too!" Long John added, and this cheer was also shouted with enthusiasm. 43 00:04:31,862 --> 00:04:40,534 The three gentlemen went below, and not long after, word was sent that Jim Hawkins was wanted in the captain's cabin. 44 00:04:40,535 --> 00:04:50,023 When I arrived, all three were seated around the table, and the doctor was smoking with his wig in his lap, a sign he was agitated. 45 00:04:50,024 --> 00:04:54,420 "Now, Hawkins," Trelawney said, "speak up." 46 00:04:54,421 --> 00:04:58,793 I told them what I'd heard, and nobody interrupted. 47 00:04:58,794 --> 00:05:05,464 "Captain," Trelawney said finally, "you were right, and I was wrong. I'll admit it." 48 00:05:05,465 --> 00:05:13,308 "I must have missed some clues too," the captain returned, "for I never heard of a crew planning to mutiny without any warning signs." 49 00:05:13,309 --> 00:05:18,150 "It's Silver's influence," said the doctor. "He's a remarkable man." 50 00:05:18,151 --> 00:05:22,353 "He'd look remarkably good hanging from the rigging," the captain said. 51 00:05:22,354 --> 00:05:27,779 "Well, we can't turn back. If I ordered them to turn around, they'd attack us at once. 52 00:05:27,780 --> 00:05:33,501 We have some time—at least until this treasure's found—but we'll have to fight them sooner or later. 53 00:05:33,502 --> 00:05:36,817 I propose we hit them when they least expect it. 54 00:05:36,818 --> 00:05:40,004 Can we count on your servants, Mr. Trelawney?" 55 00:05:40,005 --> 00:05:42,856 "Definitely," the squire declared. 56 00:05:42,857 --> 00:05:48,682 "That's three men," the captain said. "Add the rest of us and that makes seven, including Hawkins here. 57 00:05:48,683 --> 00:05:50,796 Can we count on any more men?" 58 00:05:50,797 --> 00:05:55,742 "The men Trelawney hired before he met Silver should be honest," replied the doctor. 59 00:05:55,743 --> 00:06:00,922 "We can't rely on them," the squire said. "Israel was one of those men." 60 00:06:00,923 --> 00:06:04,573 "Well, gentlemen," said the captain, "keep your eyes and ears open. 61 00:06:04,574 --> 00:06:08,134 We can do nothing until we know who's with us." 62 00:06:08,135 --> 00:06:13,659 "Jim can help," the doctor said. "The men like him, and Jim notices everything." 63 00:06:13,660 --> 00:06:18,060 "Hawkins, I'm putting my faith in you," said the squire. 64 00:06:18,061 --> 00:06:22,122 I felt desperate and helpless because we were so outnumbered. 65 00:06:22,123 --> 00:06:31,577 Right now, the grown men on our side were six to the pirates' nineteen.
