THE Hispaniola lay some way out, and we went under the figureheads and round the sterns of many other ships, and their cables sometimes grated underneath our keel, and sometimes swung above us. At last, however, we got alongside, and were met and saluted as we stepped aboard by the mate, Mr Arrow, a brown old sailor, with earrings in his ears and a squint. He and the squire were very thick and friendly, but I soon observed that things were not the same between Mr Trelawney and the captain.

This last was a sharp-looking man, who seemed angry with everything on board, and was soon to tell us why, for we had hardly got down into the cabin when a sailor followed us.

`Captain Smollett, sir, axing to speak with you,’ said he. `I am always at the captain’s order. Show him in,’ said the squire.

`Well, sir,’ said the captain, `better speak plain, I believe, even at the risk of offence. I don’t like this cruise; I don’t like the men; and I don’t like my officer. That’s short and sweet.’

`Stay a bit,’ said he, `stay a bit. No use of such questions as that but to produce ill-feeling. The captain has said too much or he has said too little, and I’m bound to say that I require an explanation of his words. You don’t, you say, like this cruise. Now, why?’

`I was engaged, sir, on what we call scaled orders, to sail this ship for that gentleman where he should bid me,’ said the captain. `So far so good. But now I find that every man before the mast knows more than I do. I don’t call that far now, do you?’

`Next,’ said the captain, `I learn we are going after treasure - hear it from my own hands, mind you. Now, treasure ticklish work; I don’t like treasure voyages on any account; and I don’t like them, above all, when they are secret, and when (begging your pardon, Mr Trelawney) the secret has been told to the parrot.’

`It’s a way of speaking,’ said the captain. `Blabbed, I mean. It’s my belief neither of you gentlemen know what you are about; but I’ll tell you my way of it - life or death, and a close run.’

`That is all clear, and, I daresay, true enough,’ replied Livesey. `We take the risk; but we are not so ignorant as you believe us. Next, you say you don’t like the crew. Are they not good seamen?’

`Perhaps you should,’ replied the doctor. `My friend should, perhaps, have taken you along with him; but the slight, if there be one, was unintentional. And you don’t like Mr Arrow?’

`I don’t, sir. I believe he’s a good seaman; but he’s too free with the crew to be a good officer. A mate should keep himself to himself - shouldn’t drink with the men before the mast!’

`Very good,’ said the captain. `Then, as you’ve heard me very patiently, saying things that I could not prove, hear me a few words more. They are putting the powder and the arms in the fore hold. Now, you have a good place under the cabin; why not put them there? - first point. Then you are bringing four of your own people with you, and they tell me some of them are to be berthed forward. Why not give them the berths here beside the cabin? - second point.’

`I’ll tell you what I’ve heard myself,’ continued Captain Smollett: `that you have a map of an island; that there’s crosses on the map to show where treasure is; and that the island lies--’ And then he named the latitude and longitude exactly.

`It doesn’t much matter who it was,’ replied the doctor. And I could see that neither he nor the captain paid much regard to Mr Trelawney’s protestations. Neither did I, to be sure, he was so loose a talker; yet in this case I believe he was really right, and that nobody had told the situation of the island.

`I see,’ said the doctor. `You wish us to keep this matter dark, and to make a garrison of the stern part of the ship, manned with my friend’s own people, and provided with all the arms and powder on board. In other words, you fear a mutiny.’

`Sir,’ said Captain Smollett, `with no intention to take offence, I deny your right to put words into my mouth. No captain, sir, would be justified in going to sea at all if he had ground enough to say that. As for Mr Arrow, I believe hi thoroughly honest; some of the men are the same; all may be for what I know. But I am responsible for the ship’s safety and the life of every man Jack aboard of her. I see thins going, as I think, not quite right. And I ask you to take certain precautions, or let me resign my berth. And that’s all.’

`Captain Smollett,’ began the doctor, with a smile, `did ever you hear the fable of the mountain and the mouse? You excuse me, I daresay, but you remind me of that fable. When you came in here I’ll stake my wig you meant more than this.’

The new arrangement was quite to my liking. The whole schooner had been overhauled; six berths had been mad astern, out of what had been the after-part of the main hold and this set of cabins was only joined to the galley and forecastle by a sparred passage on the port side. It had been originally meant that the captain, Mr Arrow, Hunter, Joyce the doctor, and the squire, were to occupy these six berths Now, Redruth and I were to get two of them, and Mr Arrow and the captain were to sleep on deck in the companion, which had been enlarged on each side till you might almost have called it a round-house. Very low it was still, of course; but there was room to swing two hammocks, and even the mate seemed pleased with the arrangement. Even he, perhaps, had been doubtful as to the crew, but that is only guess; for, as you shall hear, we had not long the benefit of his opinion.

`Very likely sir,’ replied Captain Smollett. `Easy with that, men - easy,’ he ran on, to the fellows who were shifting the powder; and then suddenly observing me examining the swivel we carried amidships, a long brass nine - `Here, you ship’s boy,’ he cried, `out o’ that! Off with you to the cook and get some work.’

`I’ll have no favourites on my ship.’ I assure you I was quite of the squire’s way of thinking, and hated the captain deeply.
