SummaryAnalysis
The group heads towards the ship, the Hispaniola, and they greet the mate, Mr. Arrow, as well as a sharp, angry-looking man, Captain Smollett. Smollett declares that he doesn’t like the trip, the men, or the officer. In response to Dr. Livesey’s questions, he says that everyone seems to know more than he does about where they’re going and what they’re after.

Jim is pleased with the ship’s new arrangement, following Smollett’s requests, which will allow him a berth to himself. As Jim is examining the ship’s cannons, though, the captain barks at him to get to work, and Jim decides he agrees with the squire about Smollett.
