Answer 1

Answer:

Trelawney sends Jim out to deliver a message to Long John Silver, a tavern owner he's hired as a cook. Jim's excitement over his mission doesn't overpower the concern he has that the one-legged man he's supposed to meet may be the very one-legged pirate that Billy Bones paid him to look out for before he died.
