  Speaker 1: words of the immortal little hero Jim Hawkins? Quote, Squire Trelawney, Dr. Livesy,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: and the rest of these gentlemen having asked me to
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: write down the whole particulars about Treasure Island, from the
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: beginning to the end, keeping nothing back but the bearings
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: of the island, and that only because there is still
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: treasure not yet lifted, I take up my pen in
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: the year of grace, seventeen blank, and go back to
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: the time when my father kept the Admiral Benbow in,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: and the brown old seaman, with the sabre cut, first
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: took up his lodging under our roof. I remember him
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: as if it were yesterday, as he came plodding to
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: the inn door, his sea-chest following behind him in a hand-barrel,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: a tall, strong, heavy, nut-brown man, his terry pigtail falling
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: over the shoulders of his soiled blue coat, his hands
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: ragged and scarred with black, broken nails, and the sabre-cut
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: across one cheek, a dirty, livid white, I remember him
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: looking round the cove and whistling to himself as he
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: did so, and then breaking out in that old sea-song
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: that he sang so often afterwards. Fifteen men on the
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: dead man's chest, Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum. ACT
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: I SCENE INTERIOR OF ADMIRAL BENBO INN Before the curtain
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: goes up, there is heard singing in loud boisterous voices.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: When the curtain rises, the captain is seen seated at
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the head of the table, with five or six men
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: about the table— stools for table, not chairs— all drinking and the
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: captain browbeating them. CAPTAIN. SEATED TABLE RIGHT. SINGING WITH VILLAGERS
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: BEFORE CURTAIN GOES UP.
• 4:40
  Speaker 11: FIFTEEN DEAD MEN ON A DEAD MAN'S CHEST. YO-HO-HO AND

  Speaker 11: A BOTTLE OF RUM.

• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Crossed ahead of table, center, sits.
• 4:51
  Speaker 11: Wait, wait, I say. We'll sing that over and louder.
• 4:56
  Speaker 11: Every one of you sing.
• 4:57
  Speaker 9: Sing now.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: They sing.
• 5:00
  Speaker 11: Fifteen dead men on a dead man's chest. Yo-ho-ho and
• 5:05
  Speaker 11: a bottle of rum. Drink and the devil had done
• 5:08
  Speaker 11: for the rest. Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: Hits on table with his tankard.
• 5:15
  Speaker 11: That's enough. Silence, I say.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: As the man gets up.
• 5:20
  Speaker 11: Where are you going?
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: I'm going home, sir.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Captain thunders at him.
• 5:26
  Speaker 11: Sit down, sit down by thunder you'll do as I say.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: The man fearfully sits down. The captain draws his cutlass
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: and places it on the table in front of him.
• 5:38
  Speaker 11: Not one of you leaves, do you hear?
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes.
• 5:43
  Speaker 11: It's a foggy evening and I'll have company, company.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Hits on the table with the end of his cutlass.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: Mrs.
• 5:52
  Speaker 11: Hawkins, Mrs. Hawkins, I say.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Mrs. Hawkins rushes in from the tap room left center.
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: Yes, yes, Captain.
• 6:01
  Speaker 11: Why don't you come when you hear me? More drinks, Mrs. Hawkins.
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: Oh, please, please, sir.
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: What?
• 6:10
  Speaker 11: Did you hear what I said? Did you?
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Very well, sir. I'll get it. Goes out to taproom,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: left center.
• 6:18
  Speaker 11: You two there, what were you whispering about? I saw you.
• 6:22
  Speaker 11: I'll have no whisperings, you hear. Well, why don't you speak?
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: If you please, sir.
• 6:29
  Speaker 9: Who told you to speak?
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: Hits on the table with end of cutlass.
• 6:34
  Speaker 11: Mrs. Hawkins, Mrs. Hawkins, I'll have the rum. Rum, rum,
• 6:39
  Speaker 11: do you hear?
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: Let me go get it for you, sir.
• 6:43
  Speaker 11: Sit down.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Another man getting up.
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: It's late and we must go.
• 6:49
  Speaker 11: Sit down, I say.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: The men sit down.
• 6:53
  Speaker 11: Not a man leaves. I'll not be left alone with
• 6:56
  Speaker 11: those faces out there in the fog.
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: But there are no faces.
• 7:02
  Speaker 11: Who asked you to speak? By thunder, I've seen men
• 7:07
  Speaker 11: run through for less. Rum, rum, rum!
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Mrs. Hawkins coming in with tankards of drinks right of table.
• 7:16
  Speaker 9: Coming, coming, sir.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: The men getting up.
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: But indeed, we've had enough.
• 7:23
  Speaker 11: What's that?
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Getting up.
• 7:26
  Speaker 13: And we must go home, sir.
• 7:28
  Speaker 15: What?
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Enter Dr. Livesy, Mrs. Hawkins pleadingly.
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: Oh, please, sir. You're driving all my business away.
• 7:38
  Speaker 11: Driving it away? I'm holding it here, madam. Sit down.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: As the men still stand and edge toward the door.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: What?
• 7:47
  Speaker 11: You refuse? You refuse to sit down and drink with me?
• 7:51
  Speaker 11: Then by thunder we'll see.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: With a cry, the men rush out right center. The
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: captain rushes up to go after them and comes face
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: to face with Dr. Livesy, who enters.
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: Hello.
• 8:05
  Speaker 7: What's on this?
• 8:06
  Speaker 11: Silence between decks.
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: Are you addressing me, sir?
• 8:11
  Speaker 11: Aye, that I am.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Pounding on the table with the end of his cutlass.
• 8:16
  Speaker 11: Silence, I said.
• 8:18
  Speaker 9: Silence or stop that.
• 8:21
  Speaker 11: What's that?
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Mrs. Hawkins comes down right, terribly afraid.
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: Oh, please, sir, please.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Captain coming up angrily toward Dr. Livesy.
• 8:33
  Speaker 11: Now say that again.
• 8:35
  Speaker 7: I sent for you to stop it, and I mean it.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: The captain, holding his cutlass in his hand.
• 8:41
  Speaker 11: Why, you rum-punching, weak-livered swab, you bandy-leg lubber, I'll show you.
• 8:50
  Speaker 7: Put down that cutlass.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: What, you?
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Dr. Livesy, staring captain down.
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: Put it down, or upon my honour you shall hang
• 9:00
  Speaker 7: in next to sizes. Put it down.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Doctor points. The captain gives way.
• 9:06
  Speaker 7: And now you listen to me. I warned you against
• 9:09
  Speaker 7: drinking before. You had a stroke, and much against my will,
• 9:13
  Speaker 7: I dragged you headforemost out of the grave. And now, Mr.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: Bones—''.
• 9:17
  Speaker 11: That' s not my name.'' Well, it.
• 9:20
  Speaker 7: Will serve all right. And I tell you this. One
• 9:24
  Speaker 7: glass of rum won't kill you, but if you take one,
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: you'll take another, and I'll stake my wig. If you
• 9:29
  Speaker 7: don't break off short, you'll die. You understand?' Die and
• 9:33
  Speaker 7: go your own place like the man in the Bible.
• 9:36
  Speaker 11: Well, that's my business.
• 9:39
  Speaker 7: Yes, and this is mine. I am a magistrate as
• 9:41
  Speaker 7: well as a doctor, and if I find the least
• 9:44
  Speaker 7: complaint about you hereafter, I'll take means to have you
• 9:47
  Speaker 7: routed out of this. Now then, away with you.
• 9:51
  Speaker 11: This is a free inn.
• 9:53
  Speaker 7: You heard what I said.
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: Go.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Captain, on stairs.
• 9:59
  Speaker 11: Your pleasure.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Pay for this you'll see he starts upstairs.
• 10:05
  Speaker 7: That's all right and remember the very name of rum
• 10:07
  Speaker 7: is death for.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: You captain goes out door upstairs mrs hawkins very afraid.
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: Oh sir i'm so glad you came He's got all
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: the people round here so afraid they'll hardly come to
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: the inn any more. We're all in mortal terror of
• 10:27
  Speaker 6: the man, sir.
• 10:29
  Speaker 7: In spite of my warning that it would kill him,
• 10:31
  Speaker 7: he's been drinking, eh?
• 10:33
  Speaker 9: Mrs.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Hawkins sits.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: Oh, yes, sir.
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: Drinking and singing that horrid song. And blowing his nose
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: so loud, sir. It sounds like the report of a cannon.
• 10:46
  Speaker 11: As Dr.
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: Livesy smiles— You may laugh, but I never knew a
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: man to put such fierceness into the blowing of his nose.
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: And when I asks him for money, sir, why, why,
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: that's when he blows his nose the loudest.
• 11:03
  Speaker 7: I dare swear he owes you for his lodgings.
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: That he does, sir. Oh, I appeal to you as magistrate.
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: He's ruining me, sir, ruining me.
• 11:15
  Speaker 8: Mrs.
• 11:15
  Speaker 7: Hawkins, Squire Trelawney and I have been watching your lodger
• 11:19
  Speaker 7: for some time.
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: He's given Jim a silver penny every month to keep
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: his eye open for a seafaring man with one leg.
• 11:29
  Speaker 7: Ah, I see now.
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: And that's the worst of it. The influence he has
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: over my boy.
• 11:36
  Speaker 7: Jim's a good boy. I'll be bound.
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: That he is, sir. Jim's the best boy in the world.
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: The captain is filling his head with stories. You should
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: have heard the stories as he told about that boat.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Indicates picture over mantle.
• 11:53
  Speaker 16: Dr.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Livesy looks at picture and reads title.
• 11:57
  Speaker 7: Flint's treasure ship.
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: He's got the boy so worked up with his horrid
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: tales of pirates and sea fights and treasure hunting that
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: the lad is fair bewitched with the idea of going
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: to sea and, oh, sir, rise. He's all I have.
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: I want my money, but I don't want my boy
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: in his company.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Puts chair back to table.
• 12:22
  Speaker 7: I think I can promise you both, Mrs.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Hawkins.
• 12:25
  Speaker 7: Squire Trelawney is to meet me here tonight.
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: Oh, sir, I hope there isn't going to be any fighting.
• 12:31
  Speaker 7: Can you keep a secret, Mrs. Hawkins?
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: As close as the grave, sir.
• 12:37
  Speaker 7: You can, eh? Come here to the window.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: As she starts to the window— No, it's so.
• 12:43
  Speaker 7: Foggy you can't see. But there's a little lugger down
• 12:45
  Speaker 7: at Kitch Hole. I suspect that's the boat our friend
• 12:48
  Speaker 7: is looking for.
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: What?
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: What is it?
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: Smuggler. Oh.
• 12:55
  Speaker 7: That's what your captain is. That's why he's waiting for
• 12:57
  Speaker 7: one special seaman. And that, Mrs. Hawkins, is what the
• 13:01
  Speaker 7: squire and I have been waiting for. I've got men
• 13:04
  Speaker 7: all over the countryside. Now, if we can keep an
• 13:07
  Speaker 7: eye on the captain.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Enter Jim from Tap Room.
• 13:11
  Speaker 7: We'll get the whole crew of them. Oh, I say,
• 13:14
  Speaker 7: you say Jim is close to the captain?
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: Hand and glove, more's the pity.
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: Jim! Yes, sir?
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: That horrid man has had enough for today. The doctor
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: wants to talk to you.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Exits.
• 13:29
  Speaker 7: Sit down.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: Jim comes over and sits at the table.
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: Thank you, sir.
• 13:35
  Speaker 7: Jim, since your father died, your mother has had only
• 13:38
  Speaker 7: you to help her.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: I do my best, sir.
• 13:41
  Speaker 7: I know you do quite right, my boy. Jim, your
• 13:44
  Speaker 7: mother tells me the captain hasn't paid for his board
• 13:46
  Speaker 7: and lodging.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: He hasn't. Not since the first day, sir. He was
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: at that door calling for a glass of rum. This
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: is a handy little cove, says he.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: Much company.
• 13:58
  Speaker 7: Oh, he asked that, did he?
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: And when he heard as how there was very little,
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: he says, this is the berth for me. So when
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: he comes with his Z-chest and throws down three pieces
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: of gold, you can tell me when I've worked through that.
• 14:10
  Speaker 11: Says he.
• 14:11
  Speaker 7: Well, he has worked through it, hasn't he?
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: Oh, yes, sir, and much beside.
• 14:16
  Speaker 7: Jim, if your mother is to get what's owing her,
• 14:19
  Speaker 7: you must watch his every move to-night. I shall be
• 14:22
  Speaker 7: there in the village, the least thing that looks suspicious,
• 14:25
  Speaker 7: any strangers that call him, any attempt of the captain
• 14:28
  Speaker 7: to leave. You send me word, by your mother, no
• 14:31
  Speaker 7: matter what happens. Don't you leave him for one moment.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Jim, slightly afraid, but trying to hide it.
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: Yes, sir.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: No, sir.
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: Yes, sir.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Jim sits right of table.
• 14:45
  Speaker 7: Jim, there's a nasty fog out here, a fog that
• 14:48
  Speaker 7: hides things on the sea. A fog like that is
• 14:50
  Speaker 7: bad for ships on good business, but it's good for
• 14:53
  Speaker 7: ships on bad business. These men are on bad business.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: With sudden change of tone.
• 14:59
  Speaker 7: Hawkins, I am a magistrate.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: Yes, sir.
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: Hawkins, I appoint you an officer of the Crown.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Jim, startled, arises. Dr. Livesey salutes him.
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: An officer of the Crown, Hawkins.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: Jim awkwardly returns the salute.
• 15:20
  Speaker 15: Aye, aye, sir.
• 15:21
  Speaker 7: You're the only one who can watch without suspicion. You're
• 15:24
  Speaker 7: not afraid, Hawkins?
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: No, no, sir, I'm not afraid.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Dr. Livesey's hands on Jim's shoulders.
• 15:33
  Speaker 7: Then we'll unravel this mystery before midnight. Keep your eyes open, remember.
• 15:38
  Speaker 7: Officer of the Crown.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: Exits Dr. Livesy, right center. Jim salutes. During the last
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: two preceding speeches, there is heard a song as if
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: the singer were approaching. Captain on stairs.
• 15:54
  Speaker 11: Jim, is he gone?
• 15:56
  Speaker 13: Who?
• 15:57
  Speaker 11: That swab of a doctor.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 16:01
  Speaker 11: Then go fetch me some rum, Jim.
• 16:04
  Speaker 9: But.
• 16:05
  Speaker 13: Rum.
• 16:06
  Speaker 11: A whole tankin' of it. Fetch it to my room.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Starts away.
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: But, Captain, the doctor said.
• 16:13
  Speaker 11: The doctor be blowed.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: I— With sudden change of manner, he now becomes almost
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: whiningly kind.
• 16:21
  Speaker 11: Nay, come here, Jim. I'm not meaning to be hard
• 16:25
  Speaker 11: with you. You've been my friend, the only one I
• 16:28
  Speaker 11: can trust.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Confidentially.
• 16:31
  Speaker 11: And if ever I need someone, it's today. There's things
• 16:36
  Speaker 11: brewing today, Jim.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Looks fearfully over his shoulder at the window.
• 16:40
  Speaker 11: I can feel it in the air.
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: It's just fog, Captain.
• 16:45
  Speaker 11: Aye, the fog. It's full of faces, Jim. The fog.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Keeps looking around furtively at the window.
• 16:55
  Speaker 11: Every step of the way from the cove I've seen them. Faces, Jim.
• 17:00
  Speaker 11: Like those of Flint's crew up there. They've been all
• 17:04
  Speaker 11: around me.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: They're Suddenly stares at the window.
• 17:08
  Speaker 11: See? See there at the window? Look!
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Jim crosses to window center.
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: Why, there's nothing there.
• 17:16
  Speaker 11: Didn't you see a face, a face with an ugly
• 17:20
  Speaker 11: look on it?
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Jim goes to the door right center and looks out.
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: There's not a person on the road.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Comes back into the room center.
• 17:30
  Speaker 11: Faces, faces everywhere in the fog.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Turns suddenly.
• 17:35
  Speaker 11: You've kept your eye open for a seafaring man with
• 17:38
  Speaker 11: one leg?
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: Yes, sir, though it's no pay I've had these several weeks.
• 17:44
  Speaker 9: What?
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: I said I'd had no pay and.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: As Captain takes out his handkerchief to blow his nose.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: That's all right, sir, you needn't mind.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Captain blows his nose.
• 17:57
  Speaker 11: No pay, hey?
• 17:58
  Speaker 9: Well, well?
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Starts to roar and then changes his mind.
• 18:04
  Speaker 15: Well?
• 18:05
  Speaker 11: There's your pay, lad. Take it, take it. I'm needing
• 18:07
  Speaker 11: friends today.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: As Jim takes the money.
• 18:11
  Speaker 11: There's a little lugger down at Kit's Hole. Keep your
• 18:14
  Speaker 11: eyes open. Watch the road and... Jim, anyone asks for me,
• 18:20
  Speaker 11: you don't know me. You never heard of me. Understand?
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: Not even the seafaring man with one leg?
• 18:27
  Speaker 13: No, none of them.
• 18:29
  Speaker 11: Bring my rum upstairs now and keep your eyes open.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Turns and glances at the window.
• 18:36
  Speaker 9: There, there he is again.
• 18:37
  Speaker 11: See him looking in that window?
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: I tell you there's no one. Nothing.
• 18:42
  Speaker 13: Nothing, eh?
• 18:44
  Speaker 11: It's the whole crew of them in the fog there,
• 18:46
  Speaker 11: the whole crew of them, and it's going to be
• 18:48
  Speaker 11: a fight. But we'll beat him yet. Get me that rum, quick.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Goes upstairs. Jim goes timidly to the window and looks out.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Then he draws back. Finally he gets up his courage
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: and goes to the door, looks out timidly, then grows bolder,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: goes outside, looks up and down, and finally comes in
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: and closes the door. He exits to the taproom. For
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: a moment the stage is empty. Upstairs the captain can
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: be heard singing his song. Finally a face is seen
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: peering at the window. Then the face disappears, and soon
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: the door opens and a man enters. a pale tallowy
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: creature wanting two fingers of the left hand and though
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: he wore a cutlass he did not look much a
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: fighter he is black dog for a moment he stands
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: listening to the singing and nodding sardonically he is making
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: for the entrance upstairs when jim returns with a tankard
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: of rum Black Dog wheels quickly at left. Jim, surprised
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: and startled, left center.
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: I didn't hear you come in.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Black Dog left at stairs.
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: Hmm.
• 20:04
  Speaker 12: Tidy little place. Very tidy. Come here, Sonny. Come nearer here.
• 20:12
  Speaker 12: And what have you there?
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Goes up to Jim, who tries to draw back.
• 20:17
  Speaker 14: Some rum, sir.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Black Dog sniffs it.
• 20:20
  Speaker 11: Hmm.
• 20:22
  Speaker 12: Rum it is. Good, strong rum.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Jim, fearing he is to take it.
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: It's for the gentleman upstairs, sir.
• 20:31
  Speaker 12: For the gentleman upstairs. Good, strong rum for the gentleman upstairs.
• 20:39
  Speaker 12: You know what I think?
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: No, sir.
• 20:44
  Speaker 12: I think it is just the sort of stuff that'd
• 20:46
  Speaker 12: suit my old mate, Bill. Now, what do you think?
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: I don't know your mate, Bill, and so.
• 20:55
  Speaker 12: Don't you now? That's too bad. What might you call
• 21:00
  Speaker 12: your gentleman upstairs?
• 21:03
  Speaker 15: Captain.
• 21:04
  Speaker 12: Well, my mate Bill might be called Captain.
• 21:08
  Speaker 7: Jim.
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: Jim.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Starting to go.
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: I'm sure he isn't the same.
• 21:13
  Speaker 12: We'll put it for argument. Your captain has a cut
• 21:16
  Speaker 12: on one cheek, and that the right one.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Jim starts.
• 21:22
  Speaker 12: Ah, well, I told you. Now, is my mate, Bill, here?
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Jim, up two steps.
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: I'll go upstairs and let him know.
• 21:34
  Speaker 11: No, you won't.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: As Jim still starts to go, he thunders at him.
• 21:39
  Speaker 12: Stop, I say, or stop.
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: But, sir, I must tell the captain.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Black Dog then fawning again as Jim stops.
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: There, there, lad.
• 21:51
  Speaker 12: I'm meaning you no harm. Why, I have a son
• 21:55
  Speaker 12: of my own as like you as two blocks, and
• 21:58
  Speaker 12: he's all the pride of my art. But the great
• 22:02
  Speaker 12: thing for boys is discipline, sonny. But you see, I
• 22:07
  Speaker 12: planned this as a great surprise to Bill. Bless his heart.
• 22:11
  Speaker 12: And I couldn't have you spoil it.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: He takes out his cutlass and tries it.
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: Oh, sir, I hope there's not going to be any trouble.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Captain upstairs.
• 22:22
  Speaker 8: Jim!
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: Jim!
• 22:23
  Speaker 9: Where's my rum?
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Black Dog motions Jim to keep silent.
• 22:29
  Speaker 8: Shh!
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: Shh!
• 22:31
  Speaker 12: Bill and me's old friends. He'll be glad to see me.
• 22:35
  Speaker 11: Bill will.
• 22:36
  Speaker 12: Bless his art.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Still upstairs.
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: Jim!
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: Jim!
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: Shh.
• 22:45
  Speaker 12: Not a word, or I'll wring your neck.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Grasps Jim by the throat and urges him back of
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: the stairs left.
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: What are you doing, sir?
• 22:56
  Speaker 12: Giving Bill a surprise. A little surprise.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: The captain comes down the stairs. Furious.
• 23:04
  Speaker 15: Jim!
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: Jim!
• 23:05
  Speaker 11: Where has he gone, Jim, I say?
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Goes to center head of table.
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: Jim!
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Black Dog speaks when Captain gets above table, steps out
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: with cutlass drawn as Captain turns.
• 23:19
  Speaker 12: Hello, Bill.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Captain stops short as if stunned.
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: You!
• 23:26
  Speaker 11: You! Come, Bill.
• 23:28
  Speaker 12: You know your old shipmate.
• 23:31
  Speaker 11: Black Dog, what do you want?
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: Moves toward him.
• 23:35
  Speaker 12: Just come to see my old shipmate, Billy, and talk
• 23:40
  Speaker 12: over old times.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Captain, bitterly.
• 23:43
  Speaker 11: Old times, huh.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Moves toward Black Dog. Black Dog circles to right of table.
• 23:51
  Speaker 12: A sight of times we've seen, Bill. Us two. Since
• 23:55
  Speaker 12: I lost them talons.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Holds up mutilated hand.
• 24:00
  Speaker 11: Now look here. You run me down. Here I am.
• 24:04
  Speaker 11: Well then. Speak up. What is it?
• 24:07
  Speaker 12: That's you, Bill. Always to the point.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Significantly to Jim.
• 24:13
  Speaker 12: I'll just have a glass of rum.
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: Here, sir.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: Makes as if to offer the tankard. Black dog sinister.
• 24:22
  Speaker 12: That's for the gentleman upstairs. I'll have my own.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: As Jim hurries toward taproom.
• 24:30
  Speaker 12: Don't hurry back.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: Jim takes hold of the taproom door to close it.
• 24:36
  Speaker 12: Leave that open. None of your keyholes for me, Sonny.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: Jim goes out at taproom door. Captain, fiercely.
• 24:46
  Speaker 11: Well, out with it.
• 24:48
  Speaker 12: Now we'll talk square like old shipmates.
• 24:52
  Speaker 11: Old shipmates, huh?
• 24:53
  Speaker 12: Sure, Bill. We're all here. Morgan and Hans and Pew
• 25:01
  Speaker 12: and O'Brien.
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: Silver?
• 25:04
  Speaker 11: Aye, silver.
• 25:06
  Speaker 12: He's in command down there on the little lugger.
• 25:09
  Speaker 11: A nice little lugger it must be.
• 25:12
  Speaker 12: We all sailed with Flint, and what we got like
• 25:15
  Speaker 12: gentlemen of fortune belonged to.
• 25:18
  Speaker 11: Flint.
• 25:19
  Speaker 12: Aye, to Flint. And Flint to Flint's crew. And that's
• 25:26
  Speaker 12: what we've come for. What we're going to get.
• 25:30
  Speaker 11: Go on, out with it all.
• 25:32
  Speaker 12: There's money about you, Bill Bones.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Sits right of table.
• 25:38
  Speaker 12: Money as belongs to us all. And more than money,
• 25:43
  Speaker 12: there's a little chart. Flint's fist. Showing where all Flint's
• 25:49
  Speaker 12: treasure is hid. Them things belong to us all. And
• 25:54
  Speaker 12: by thunder, them things we're going to have. Now you know, Bill.
• 26:01
  Speaker 11: And that's the message they sent by you?
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: Aye.
• 26:06
  Speaker 11: Then you can go back and tell them I'm still captain,
• 26:10
  Speaker 11: and what I say is law. Why, you mess of swabs,
• 26:14
  Speaker 11: you think you can give your orders to me, you?
• 26:18
  Speaker 12: It's more than that we'd be giving you. The little
• 26:22
  Speaker 12: black spot.
• 26:24
  Speaker 11: Oh, you will, huh? you'll tip me off the black
• 26:27
  Speaker 11: spot well let's see the one of you that dares
• 26:31
  Speaker 11: send him along or maybe you've got it have you have.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: You raises his cutlass and rushes at black dog who avoids.
• 26:39
  Speaker 17: Him now hand it over hand it over i haven't
• 26:44
  Speaker 17: it but here it'll be all right and you'll surrender
• 26:49
  Speaker 17: things as don't belong to you or you'll.
• 26:52
  Speaker 11: Swing I'll swing, then we'll all swing, and you can
• 26:56
  Speaker 11: tell that to Silver, to Pew, to Hands, to O'Brien,
• 27:00
  Speaker 11: to all of them. Bill Bones is still in command.
• 27:04
  Speaker 12: And that's the answer I'm to take back.
• 27:07
  Speaker 11: Yes, that's the answer.
• 27:09
  Speaker 9: And that, that, that.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: As he speaks, he strikes with his cutlass. Black Dog
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: tries to parry and fight, but he is quickly disarmed
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: and flees, and the captain hurls his cutlass at him
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: as he runs out the door. The captain, very much
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: shaken himself, follows to the door to pick up his cutlass,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: and calls after Black Dog.
• 27:31
  Speaker 11: Tell that to— tell him where the bill-bones has lost his arm!
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: As he picks up his cutlass.
• 27:38
  Speaker 11: Tell that to the one who's to bring the black spot, and.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: As he comes back into the room, he suddenly totters
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: and falls upon a stool.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: Jim!
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: Jim!
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: The captain seems about to swoon.
• 27:54
  Speaker 10: What is it, Captain?
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: With rum for Black Dog.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: Rum!
• 27:59
  Speaker 8: Rum! Quick!
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: Jim, rum on table, center.
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: The doctor warned you.
• 28:05
  Speaker 11: Look, Jim, how my fingers fidget. I can't keep him still,
• 28:09
  Speaker 11: not I. If I don't have a drain of rum,
• 28:12
  Speaker 11: I'll have the horrors. I seen some on him already.
• 28:16
  Speaker 11: I seen old Flint in the corner there behind you
• 28:19
  Speaker 11: as plain as print.
• 28:20
  Speaker 9: I seen him.
• 28:21
  Speaker 11: And if I get the horrors, I'm a man that
• 28:23
  Speaker 11: has lived rough. And I'll raise cane. The doctor himself
• 28:27
  Speaker 11: said one glass wouldn't hurt me. And I have hardly
• 28:29
  Speaker 11: had a drop today. I'll give you a golden guinea
• 28:32
  Speaker 11: for a noggin, Jim.
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: You shouldn't touch the stuff, sir.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: Handing him the tankard.
• 28:39
  Speaker 15: There.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: As Captain drinks.
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: Oh, sir, I'd better call someone. I fear it's another stroke.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Captain, holding on to Jim.
• 28:48
  Speaker 11: Don't you leave me. Don't leave me, Jim, not now.
• 28:51
  Speaker 11: I need you.
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Drinks.
• 28:53
  Speaker 11: You're the only one worth anything, and with your help, Jim,
• 28:56
  Speaker 11: I'm going to beat him yet. I will, Jim, I will.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: Drinks, and seems to recover as he does so.
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: You shouldn't touch that stuff, sir.
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: Nay.
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: The doctor said it was sure death.
• 29:09
  Speaker 11: Oh, what's he know about it? Doctors is all swabs,
• 29:13
  Speaker 11: and that doctor there, why, what do he know about
• 29:16
  Speaker 11: seafaring men? Rise. I've been in places as hot as
• 29:21
  Speaker 11: pitch and mates, dropping round with the yellow jack and
• 29:25
  Speaker 11: the blessed lander, heaving like the sea with earthquakes.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: Drops glass.
• 29:30
  Speaker 11: What do doctors know of lands like that? And I
• 29:34
  Speaker 11: lived on rum, I tell you. It's been meat and
• 29:37
  Speaker 11: drink and man and wife to me, and if I
• 29:39
  Speaker 11: don't get... me rum i'm a battered old hulk on
• 29:42
  Speaker 11: the lee shore my blood'll be on your head jim
• 29:46
  Speaker 11: and on that doctor's swab you will give me one
• 29:50
  Speaker 11: more noggin won't.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: You seems to grow fainter jim giving it to him
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: from shelf up center you're killing yourself Captain, recovering.
• 30:03
  Speaker 11: Now, listen, Jim. That man just here, he's a bad'un.
• 30:07
  Speaker 11: But there's worse put him on. And they're out there
• 30:10
  Speaker 11: on that ship in the fog, waiting. They're trying to
• 30:14
  Speaker 11: get me, to tip me the black spot.
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: The what?
• 30:18
  Speaker 11: The black spot. That's about the worst disgrace can come
• 30:22
  Speaker 11: to a pirate captain. It means he must step down.
• 30:25
  Speaker 11: That he's gone. Done for. That he's got to do
• 30:28
  Speaker 11: what his men say instead of them doing what he says.
• 30:31
  Speaker 11: Sometimes it means worse than that too. That's what I'm
• 30:34
  Speaker 11: fearing from that crowd out there. Take a look at
• 30:37
  Speaker 11: the door.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Jim looks out of door.
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: No one, sir.
• 30:43
  Speaker 11: Close the door. Come here.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: Confidentially, as Jim comes up, It's up there.
• 30:48
  Speaker 11: In my old sea chest, what they're after. But I'm
• 30:52
  Speaker 11: going to try to get away first, and if I do,
• 30:55
  Speaker 11: I'll promise you I'll come back for you someday, and
• 30:58
  Speaker 11: we'll go to sea, as I told you, in a
• 31:01
  Speaker 11: schooner with a piping bosun and pigtailed singing seaman, to
• 31:05
  Speaker 11: see Jim bound for an unknown island to seek buried treasure.
• 31:09
  Speaker 11: You'd like that?
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: Oh, yes.
• 31:13
  Speaker 11: Well, I'll promise you, But if they tip me the
• 31:16
  Speaker 11: black spot first, you get word to that doctor magistrate.
• 31:19
  Speaker 11: Tell him to pipe all hands and he'll lay them
• 31:21
  Speaker 11: aboard here at the Benbow Inn. All of Flint's crew,
• 31:24
  Speaker 11: all of them that's left.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Jim, frightened.
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: Not Flint the buccaneer.
• 31:30
  Speaker 11: Flint's crew, I was the first mate. Aboard that ship there.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: Points to print over mantle.
• 31:37
  Speaker 11: Old Flint's first mate. And I'm the only one as
• 31:41
  Speaker 11: knows the place.
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: What place?
• 31:44
  Speaker 11: The place where Flint hid all his money. The chart's
• 31:47
  Speaker 11: up there in my chest. Flint gave it to me

• 33:23
  Speaker 4: must stay. So you must go, Mother.
• 33:25
  Speaker 6: And leave you alone, Jim?
• 33:27
  Speaker 9: No, no, no.
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: The doctor's relying on us, Mother.
• 33:31
  Speaker 6: But the fog's so thick.
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: Just to the village. And be sure to tell the
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: doctor they're not smugglers. They're pirates. Flint's crew.

  Speaker 1: Exits left intermediate he holds the door open and calls
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: softly mother mother when he gets no answer he closes
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: the door and comes back into the room then suddenly
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: he gives a start for there is heard the tapping
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: of a person with a cane the tapping comes closer
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: and closer and finally stops outside the door.
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: What's that?
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: There is a slight pause. Jim trembles. There is a
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: knock at the door. With a gulp, Jim stumbles back.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: A second knock, and Jim masters his fear and approaches
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: timidly the door. He opens it. There stands a man,
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: plainly blind, a great green shade over his eyes and nose.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: He was hunched as if with age and weakness. He
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: wore a tattered old sea-cloak with hood, and that made
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: him appear positively deformed. His voice was an odd sing-song.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: He is Pew.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: Will any kind friend inform a poor blind man where
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: or in what part of the country he is?
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: You're at the Admiral Benbow Inn, Black Hill Cove.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: I hear a young voice. Will you lead me in,
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: my kind young friend?
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Jim Takes Pew by hand.
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: There, sir. Easy now. Gently and.
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: Oh!
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: He winces with pain as Pew's manner suddenly changes and
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: he finds his arm gripped tight.
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: You're hurting my arm, sir. Not so tight.
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: Pew, hard and menacing.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: Take me to the captain.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: Jim, trying to get away.
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: Oh, please, sir.
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: Please, sir.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: Take me or I'll break your arm.
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: The captain is ill, sir. Very ill.
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: Lead me straight to him. and say, here's a friend
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: for you, Bill. If you don't this instant, I'll.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: Jim, as Pew has suddenly stopped to urge him, and
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: now stands listening.
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: Please let me go, sir, please.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: I hear someone on the stairs. Unless Pew is here
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: to trick him, it's a friend, the captain. Is it? Answer.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: Squeezes Jim's arm.
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: Is it?
• 36:04
  Speaker 7: It is, sir.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: And remember what I said, and I'm holding on to
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: your arm.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: He tightens his grip upon Jim, who winces. The captain
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: comes tottering downstairs under the weight of his sea chest.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: He seems very feeble.
• 36:19
  Speaker 11: Well bait him yet, well bait him yet, Jim.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: Pew whispers to Jim and pinches.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: Say it, now!
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: Jim winces under Pew's hold.
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: Here's a friend for you, Bill.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: Captain turns and sees Pew. At sight of him, he
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: lets the chest fall with a crash and totteringly supports
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: himself against it, seeming quite dazed.
• 36:45
  Speaker 11: Pew!
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: Pew to Jim.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: Lead me to him.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: As Jim leads him up to the Captain.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: Now, Bill, stay just where you are. Business is business.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: Hold out your hand.
• 37:01
  Speaker 9: Boy!
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: Take his hand by the wrist, bring it close to mine.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: Jim does as directed, and Pugh passes a paper into
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: the hands of the captain, who seems to crumple up
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: when he receives it.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: Now, that's done. Lead me to the door, boy.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: Jim leads him to the door.
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: Good day to you, Bill.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: He goes out. Jim comes running back to the captain,
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: who stands staring at the paper in his hand. Jim,
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: as the captain stands swaying back and forth dizzily and
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: looking down at the paper in his hand.
• 37:39
  Speaker 13: What, what is it?
• 37:42
  Speaker 11: The black spot.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: Turns over the paper and reads.
• 37:46
  Speaker 11: Till ten o'clock.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: With increasing force, as if getting an idea.
• 37:51
  Speaker 11: They've got me, but they shan't have that chest. Flynn's fist,
• 37:56
  Speaker 11: Bill Bones is still in command. They shan't have it.
• 37:59
  Speaker 15: They shan't.
• 38:00
  Speaker 11: They shan't.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: He stumbles up to the door, and then as he
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: gets there, with a hoarse cry he puts his arm
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: before his eyes and stumbles back into the room. He reels,
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: puts his hand to his throat, stands swaying a moment,
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: and then, with a peculiar sound, falls from his whole
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: height foremost to the floor, falls right upstairs. Jim bends
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: over the captain.
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: Captain!
• 38:27
  Speaker 9: Captain!
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: Feels his chest. With a frightened cry, he starts back
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: as Mrs. Hawkins enters, left too.
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: Mother!
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: Points to Captain. The Captain!
• 38:41
  Speaker 11: Dead!

  Speaker 1: Hawkins, holding Jim back.
• 38:51
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 38:52
  Speaker 6: What are you going to do?
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: The Captain said I was to get the money he
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: owes us out of his sea chest, and I'm going
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: to do it.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: Moves toward Boddy.
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: Jim.

  Speaker 1: Goes upstairs, followed by Mrs. Hawkins. Off stage.

  Speaker 1: a far corner of the room. Then they rush out

  Speaker 5: Quick!

  Speaker 1: He rushes out the door. Then of a sudden there
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: is the report of a pistol. There is a shriek,
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: and then Jim rushes into the room. Almost at once,
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: he is followed by the squire and Dr. Livesy.
• 45:45
  Speaker 7: Jim, what's this story we hear about pirates?
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: It's true, sir.
• 45:49
  Speaker 8: This was Flint's crew.
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: Yes, sir, and that man there was Flint's mate.
• 45:54
  Speaker 8: But if this is true.
• 45:56
  Speaker 4: Here, sir, is the proof of it.
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: Offers packet.
• 46:00
  Speaker 7: What's this?
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: I took it from his sea chest there. It's a
• 46:04
  Speaker 4: map showing where Flint buried his treasure.
• 46:07
  Speaker 5: What?
• 46:07
  Speaker 7: By God, if this should be.
• 46:10
  Speaker 8: Thousands upon thousands Flint buried, and hundreds have tried to
• 46:13
  Speaker 8: find it. If this should prove the clue to Flint's treasure...
• 46:17
  Speaker 8: Tall tree.
• 46:18
  Speaker 15: Spyglass.
• 46:19
  Speaker 7: Mountain bearing a point to the north of NNE.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: Black dog appears.
• 46:25
  Speaker 7: Skeleton Island ESE. The gold is in the north cache.
• 46:30
  Speaker 8: By gad, Livesey, that's it! We'll go to Bristol. We'll
• 46:34
  Speaker 8: fit out a ship, and we'll have that treasure if
• 46:36
  Speaker 8: it takes a year. And Hawkins shall go with us.
• 46:40
  Speaker 4: You don't mean it? To go to sea with a
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: piping bosun and a pigtail singing seaman, bound for an
• 46:46
  Speaker 4: unknown island to seek buried treasure?

  Speaker 1: Act II. Scene 1. The Quay at Bristol. The entire
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: back of stage is taken up with a sailing vessel
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: tied to her pier. Upon her side there is painted
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: her name, Hispaniola. A gangplank comes from the ship's side
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: down to the wharf. At right, some dusty old buildings
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: line the side down right intermediate, where there is a
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: small inn with a sign of a spyglass hanging from
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: above the door. There is a bench in front of
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: this inn, and from its window hangs a cage with
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: a parrot. The left side is taken up with a
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: large warehouse, down to left intermediate, where there is the
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: entrance to a street. the center of the stage is
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: taken up with barrels and coils of rope and boxes.
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: When the curtain rises, three or four men, each with
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: a box or a barrel upon his shoulders, are starting
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: for the ship from the wharf. They go up the
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: gangplank upon the ship, and then vanish from sight. Then
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: the stage is deserted. From his cage the parrot calls,
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: Pieces of eight! Stand by to go about! Pieces of eight!
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: FINALLY THERE COMES HURRIELY IN FROM LEFT INTERMEDIATE BLACK DOG,
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: FOLLOWED BY A MAN. BLACK DOG GOES TO THE IN
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: DOOR AT RIGHT INTERMEDIATE AND PEERS IN. WITHIN MEN CAN
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: BE SEEN DRINKING, AT TIMES BITS OF SONG COME OUT,
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: A ROYSTERING SCENE. FRUIT GIRL, DOWN LEFT, SEATED. BLACK DOG
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: ENTERS FROM STREET UP LEFT, GOES TO WINDOW, TURNS FROM
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: DOOR TO HIS COMPANION.
• 49:03
  Speaker 12: See that man in there with one leg, hopping about
• 49:06
  Speaker 12: on a crutch.
• 49:08
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 49:09
  Speaker 12: You go up to him, quiet-like, and say, Silver, there's
• 49:13
  Speaker 12: a man out there as would like to talk to you.
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: As the man starts in.
• 49:19
  Speaker 12: Quiet-like.
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: Remember the man goes in black dog gazes through the
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: window for a moment then he goes up to the
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: ship and stares at her from within the inn there
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: comes sound of songs and ribaldry at last silver appears
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: at the door left.
• 49:37
  Speaker 13: Who's looking for long john silver Black Dog turns. Black Dog.
• 49:42
  Speaker 12: A nice turn you did me, leaving me there at
• 49:45
  Speaker 12: the cove.
• 49:45
  Speaker 13: And a nice turn you all did me with your bungling,
• 49:49
  Speaker 13: you and Pew and the rest of you, letting a
• 49:51
  Speaker 13: fortune slip through your fingers.
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: Points inside the inn where the men are singing.
• 49:56
  Speaker 13: Look at him there. All you're good for is to
• 49:58
  Speaker 13: come whining to Silver and drink his grog.
• 50:01
  Speaker 12: Easy there, Long John.
• 50:03
  Speaker 13: Well, it's so, isn't it? Isn't it?
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: Black Dog comes up confidentially as if having something to tell.
• 50:10
  Speaker 12: When we all ran from that place, I got lost
• 50:14
  Speaker 12: in the fog.
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: Looks about cautiously.
• 50:18
  Speaker 11: Well?
• 50:19
  Speaker 12: Well, I must have run in a circle for I
• 50:22
  Speaker 12: landed up again where I started.
• 50:25
  Speaker 4: The end?
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: Black Dog goes to him center, nods.
• 50:30
  Speaker 12: It was dark and I crept up to the windy.
• 50:33
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 50:34
  Speaker 12: There was Billy Bones, dead upon the floor. And at
• 50:38
  Speaker 12: a table, three of them pawing over a chart.
• 50:42
  Speaker 13: Flint's fist.
• 50:43
  Speaker 12: Flint's fist.
• 50:45
  Speaker 13: Three of them, you say?
• 50:47
  Speaker 12: One was a boy. He'd got the chart and given
• 50:50
  Speaker 12: it to the men.
• 50:51
  Speaker 13: And the men?
• 50:52
  Speaker 12: One they called Doctor.
• 50:54
  Speaker 13: And the other, the other?
• 50:56
  Speaker 12: He was older and looked your country gentleman.
• 51:00
  Speaker 13: His name?
• 51:01
  Speaker 12: It was Squire. Squire something, or.
• 51:05
  Speaker 13: Squire Trelawney?
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: Black Dog astonished.
• 51:09
  Speaker 12: The very same.
• 51:11
  Speaker 13: Ha, I guessed it, I guessed it.
• 51:14
  Speaker 9: But.
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: Silver points to Hispaniola.
• 51:17
  Speaker 13: See that boat? That belongs to Squire Trelawney.
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: As Black Dog starts.
• 51:23
  Speaker 13: And she's sailing on sealed orders.
• 51:26
  Speaker 12: Then, you know... The.
• 51:29
  Speaker 13: Squire and I have already passed the time of day.
• 51:31
  Speaker 13: I've been watching him. I've been wondering what this is
• 51:33
  Speaker 13: all about.
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: With sudden change.
• 51:37
  Speaker 13: That's why I have all the men in there now.
• 51:39
  Speaker 13: Any of them see you down at the cove?
• 51:41
  Speaker 12: None but the boy. And he saw only Pew and me.
• 51:45
  Speaker 15: Good.
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: Confidentially.
• 51:48
  Speaker 13: They haven't shipped their crew yet. I'm going to try
• 51:50
  Speaker 13: to make our friends here take us to Flint's treasure,
• 51:52
  Speaker 13: in their own ship. I even find the treasure for us.
• 51:55
  Speaker 13: And then.
• 51:57
  Speaker 12: What then?
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: Sinister.
• 52:00
  Speaker 13: Then we'll pay him for it.
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: Trelawney and Smollett appear upon the ship. Silver points them
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: out to Black Dog, turns him around.
• 52:08
  Speaker 13: Either one of those your squire?
• 52:10
  Speaker 12: Aye, the old man.
• 52:13
  Speaker 13: Go inside. You'll find all the men there, but not
• 52:15
  Speaker 13: a word.
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: Black Dog goes into the inn. Silver wanders up the
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: quay as Smollett and the squire come down from the boat.
• 52:24
  Speaker 9: I will try, sir, but they are not so easy
• 52:26
  Speaker 9: to get.
• 52:27
  Speaker 8: My dear Captain Smollett, there must be plenty of men.
• 52:32
  Speaker 9: But your requirements are peculiar, sir.
• 52:36
  Speaker 8: What, merely men? Not afraid of anything on sea or land? Surely, sir,
• 52:41
  Speaker 8: English manhood has not gone back so far that the
• 52:44
  Speaker 8: spirit of adventure is lost.
• 52:47
  Speaker 9: Oh, very well, sir. But asking your pardon, I don't
• 52:51
  Speaker 9: know the nature of this voyage.
• 52:53
  Speaker 8: And are not to. Sealed orders, sir.
• 52:57
  Speaker 9: Quite right. But you must realize this makes it difficult
• 53:01
  Speaker 9: to get men. Honest men.
• 53:04
  Speaker 8: It shouldn't. England has stood for centuries for her sailors
• 53:08
  Speaker 8: to unknown lands, and on unknown seas, her drakes and rallies,
• 53:12
  Speaker 8: and hawks.
• 53:13
  Speaker 11: And— Very well, sir.
• 53:16
  Speaker 9: I'll do the best I can.
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: Starts away up left. Squire follows him up.
• 53:23
  Speaker 8: And make haste, captain. My friends come within three days.
• 53:27
  Speaker 8: I must be ready then.
• 53:28
  Speaker 9: I'll try, sir.
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: He goes off left upstage. The squire is going toward
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: the vessel when Silver puts himself in his way. Silver,
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: left center, indicates ship.
• 53:41
  Speaker 13: I never tire of looking at her, sir.
• 53:44
  Speaker 8: Pretty, isn't she?
• 53:45
  Speaker 13: Never saw sweeter little craft.
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: Squire, indicates Silver's loss of leg.
• 53:52
  Speaker 8: Not a seafaring man?
• 53:54
  Speaker 13: I lost that, sir, in defense of my country.
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: Squire, drawing nearer, interested.
• 54:00
  Speaker 8: Did you now?
• 54:01
  Speaker 13: Aye, sir, under the immortal Hawks. What?
• 54:05
  Speaker 8: Not really?
• 54:05
  Speaker 13: A fact, sir.
• 54:07
  Speaker 8: Pensioned, of course?
• 54:09
  Speaker 13: No, sir, never asked it, never needed it. I keep
• 54:12
  Speaker 13: the spyglass there.
• 54:13
  Speaker 8: Still, you should have your reward.
• 54:16
  Speaker 13: I have, sir.
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: Salutes.
• 54:19
  Speaker 13: In England, my country, God bless her.
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: Squire, enthusiastically.
• 54:24
  Speaker 8: A fine spirit, the true spirit of an Englishman.
• 54:29
  Speaker 13: There's only one thing. My health's not been good ashore.
• 54:32
  Speaker 13: Having been to sea so long, that's why I keep
• 54:34
  Speaker 13: my inn here on the quay, where I can get
• 54:36
  Speaker 13: a bit of salt air and meet seafaring men. Why,
• 54:38
  Speaker 13: every sailor that comes to Port knows Long John Silver.
• 54:40
  Speaker 8: Do they now?
• 54:42
  Speaker 13: They're all welcome, sir, whether they can pay or no,
• 54:44
  Speaker 13: because of my love of her out there.
• 54:46
  Speaker 15: See.
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: The Squire Trelawney starts rather surprised at Silver.
• 54:51
  Speaker 13: I tell you, when the sea once got in to you, sir,
• 54:53
  Speaker 13: it's hard to ever lose her. May sound queer to you, sir,
• 54:56
  Speaker 13: but it's a fact.
• 54:58
  Speaker 11: Squire.
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: Studying Silver.
• 55:01
  Speaker 8: No, no, I think I understand.
• 55:05
  Speaker 13: When I think of the times I've seen dirty weather
• 55:07
  Speaker 13: and clear fights at close quarters, hand to hand, and
• 55:09
  Speaker 13: cutlass against cutlass, against pirate and buccaneer.
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: Squire starts, but Silver hurries on.
• 55:16
  Speaker 13: Then I think to me in there doling out grog, and, sir,
• 55:18
  Speaker 13: it's like torture when I come out here and see
• 55:21
  Speaker 13: a trim little schooner like that assailing. Why, I'd give
• 55:23
  Speaker 13: my life, sir, for just one more chance at the
• 55:25
  Speaker 13: old sea.
• 55:26
  Speaker 11: Squire.
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: Who has been thinking and studying Silver.
• 55:30
  Speaker 8: You say you know every seafaring man in Bristol?
• 55:33
  Speaker 13: Aye, sir, they all come to the Spyglass.
• 55:36
  Speaker 8: Well, suppose, just suppose now, I wanted a special sort
• 55:41
  Speaker 8: of crew, men, not only sailors, but fighters, perhaps.
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: Silver points to Inn.
• 55:48
  Speaker 13: There are men in there now, enough to man this boat,
• 55:50
  Speaker 13: men who have sailed as I have sailed, against Flint himself.
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: Silver's parrot begins to squawk.
• 55:57
  Speaker 13: Excuse me, sir. That's my parrot. I call him Captain Flint.
• 55:59
  Speaker 13: That's why I piped up when he heard the name.
• 56:02
  Speaker 8: You mean to say you have sailed against Flint?
• 56:06
  Speaker 13: It's to him I owe the loss of this.
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: Indicates lag.
• 56:09
  Speaker 13: You see, sir, that's what makes it so hard to
• 56:11
  Speaker 13: have been through all that and to sit idle and
• 56:13
  Speaker 13: hear the sea of calling, begging for a chance, sir.
• 56:15
  Speaker 13: A chance that means life, sir.
• 56:17
  Speaker 8: Suppose now you were offered that chance.
• 56:21
  Speaker 13: You don't mean it, sir.
• 56:23
  Speaker 8: You could help me get together a crew?
• 56:25
  Speaker 13: Yes, sir.
• 56:27
  Speaker 8: At once.
• 56:27
  Speaker 13: I' ll see to everything, sir.
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: As the squire starts, Silver goes on quickly.
• 56:33
  Speaker 13: But there are honest men in there, Englishmen, ready for
• 56:36
  Speaker 13: any purpose.
• 56:36
  Speaker 8: I like your talk, sir. You're engaged.'' Oh, thank you, sir.''
• 56:42
  Speaker 8: And now about a crew. My captain has found difficulty.
• 56:46
  Speaker 13: Might I ask, sir, what sort of voyage this is
• 56:48
  Speaker 13: to be?
• 56:49
  Speaker 14: Why?
• 56:50
  Speaker 13: So I may judge about the men.
• 56:53
  Speaker 8: I want tough men, such as you just spoke of.
• 56:56
  Speaker 8: Men willing to board Flint himself.
• 56:59
  Speaker 13: I know the very men for you. They're in there now.
• 57:01
  Speaker 13: You go to your cablet and I'll send them to you.
• 57:03
  Speaker 8: Very well. If I could get them before Captain Smollett returns?
• 57:08
  Speaker 13: I'm sure you can.
• 57:09
  Speaker 8: I'll show him. He with his trouble about getting honest men.
• 57:14
  Speaker 8: Send them along, Silver.
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: Starts up boat.
• 57:18
  Speaker 9: Yes, sir.
• 57:18
  Speaker 15: At once, sir.
• 57:19
  Speaker 13: And I want to thank you, sir.
• 57:21
  Speaker 11: Squire.
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: Goes up on ship.
• 57:23
  Speaker 8: Not at all. Glad we met, Silver.
• 57:26
  Speaker 13: It's a great thing for me, sir, a great thing.
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: The squire disappears in the schooner. Silver's manner changes at once.
• 57:34
  Speaker 13: Heaven has sent him to me.
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: He hastens to the door of the inn and calls.
• 57:39
  Speaker 13: Hands, arrow, Morgan, Anderson, Mary, all you men.
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: They all come out. Black Dog, next to Silver.
• 57:47
  Speaker 12: Was I right?
• 57:49
  Speaker 13: It's Flint's treasuries after, all right.
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: Hands makes movement toward ship. There is a slight change
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: of manner.
• 57:56
  Speaker 13: I' m to engage his crew.
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: There is much astonishment and guffawing among the crew at this.' Easy.
• 58:03
  Speaker 13: There, you are to be that crew. You are to
• 58:05
  Speaker 13: go to him now. You, Arrow, are to be mate.
• 58:07
  Speaker 14: Aye, captain.
• 58:08
  Speaker 13: Anderson Coxwayne.'' Coxwayne, is it?'' Mary, you Boatswayne.
• 58:14
  Speaker 3: My old job.
• 58:15
  Speaker 13: The rest to you as he pleases. He's waiting in
• 58:18
  Speaker 13: his cabin for you. Go now, quick. Act natural, nothing suspicious.
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: As they start away.
• 58:24
  Speaker 13: Look innocent and fierce.
• 58:26
  Speaker 11: On with you.
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: They start to leave when Silver holds back Black Dog,
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: who crosses last.
• 58:32
  Speaker 4: Wait.
• 58:33
  Speaker 18: Well?
• 58:34
  Speaker 13: He might recognize you.
• 58:36
  Speaker 12: I told you I saw only the boy.
• 58:39
  Speaker 13: We'll take no chances. You'll stay hidden in there till
• 58:42
  Speaker 13: we sail.
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: As Black Dog makes a gesture of protest, he pushes
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: him toward the inn door.
• 58:48
  Speaker 13: We've got him baited, and we'll get him, hook and all.
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: He shoves black dog into the inn and then he
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: goes quickly up on the ship pieces of art pieces

• 59:33
  Speaker 1: the 15 men on a dead man's chest. Others are
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: shouting and talking excitedly. About the whole scene, there is
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: an air of excitement and noise. Hans, as the last
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: man comes up the plank.
• 59:47
  Speaker 2: Adol.
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: Anderson comes aboard with a box.
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: Aye, aye, sir.
• 59:53
  Speaker 14: That's all of it.
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: Hans turns to Smollett and salutes.
• 59:58
  Speaker 15: Captain Smollett.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: Smollett, upper deck.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 9: Well, Mr. Hands?
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 15: Everything right, sir.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 9: Sure you've missed nothing?
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: Sure, sir.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 9: All ready to cast off?
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 15: All, sir, all ready. Shall I give the word, sir?
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: Black Dog enters.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 9: Squire Trelawney is not here yet. Have all the men
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 9: stand by.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 13: Aye, aye, sir.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 4: Mr.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 9: Hands?
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: Smollett, with change.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 9: Who gave you the orders for the stowing of those stores?
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 15: I thought you did, sir.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: Smollett, dismissing him.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 15: Very well. Aye, aye, sir.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: Goes out. For a moment Smollett stands as if thinking,
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: and then he turns as if to follow hands. Meanwhile
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: Black Dog has sneaked upon the scene and is slinking
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: up the gangplank when Smollett turns and sees him.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 9: Well, my man, who are you?
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: Black Dog on gangplank.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 12: A friend of the crew, sir. I have a message.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 9: This boat is ready to sail. No one boards her now.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 12: But, sir, it's important. Most important, I see him.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 5: Who?
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 12: Silver, sir. Long John Silver.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: Smollett. Calls.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 9: Silver? John Silver?
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: Silver. Without.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 13: Aye, sir.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 9: Man to see you?
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: Silver, coming.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 15: Coming, sir, coming.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 13: What is it, sir?
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: Sees Black Dog and starts.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 9: This fellow here says he has a message for you.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: Silver, recovering himself and feigning surprise.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 13: Message for me, my good man?
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 5: Aye.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: Silver, noticing that Smollett is watching and that Black Dog
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: is growing embarrassed.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 13: Well, well, speak up, my man.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: Black Dog indicates in.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 12: There's someone there as would like to talk to you.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 12: He said it was important.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: Silver to Smollett.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 13: I don't know who it could be, nor what he wants.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 13: Can I go ashore, sir?
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 9: We're all ready to cast off.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 13: I won't be but a jiffy, sir.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 9: Very well.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: Goes out.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 13: Thank you, sir.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: Comes down with Black Dog and turns fiercely upon him left.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 13: By all the powers, what you trying to do?
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 12: That boat's sailing.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 5: Well?
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 12: It'll never sail without me. If I don't go, I'll
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 12: blow up the whole thing.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: As Silver starts to threaten him.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 5: I will.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 11: I'm going.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 12: You hear?
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 13: You'll do as I say.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: Hands comes rushing down. Silver crosses to gangplank.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 13: How now, Hands?
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 15: That captain's smart.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 13: What's he done?
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 15: He's down below, snooping around.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 13: You put the powder where I told you?
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 5: Aye.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 13: And their men bunked with ours?
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 5: Aye.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 13: Did he notice it?
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 15: He acts suspicious-like.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: Silver turns angrily on Black Dog.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 13: You hear that, Black Dog?
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 3: You hear?
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 13: Now you go inside there and wait. Go, I say,
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 13: or by thunder I'll run you through.
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: Black Dog driven to the inn door.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 12: You'll never go without me.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 5: Never.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 19: Go.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: Black Dog goes in. Silver storms.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 13: Love never came with that man.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: Suddenly.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 13: Hans, Black Dog doesn't go on this cruise.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 9: Aye, aye.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: Silver, as Squire and Dr. Livesy come from Street, left upstage.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 13: Go inside there.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 9: Watch him.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 13: Don't leave him out of your sight and wait your chance.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 13: And when you get it, you know what to do.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: Stiletto, boss. Hans goes in as Dr. Livesy and Squire
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: come down.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: Aye, aye, sir.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: Exits into Door of Inn.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 8: I don't know what to make of it.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 7: I am sure he'll come, Squire.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: Silver comes forward.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 13: Everything ready and ship-shaped. Just waiting for you, sir.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: Squire Trelawney, testily.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 8: Hawkins hasn't come.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 7: You told him you might stay till the last minute
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 7: with his mother.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 13: If we wait, we'll miss the tide. That means another
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 13: twelve hours delay, sir.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 8: Look at her there. Everything ready? And to be held
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 8: up now? By gad, it's hard, sir.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 13: Would you mind if I took my old shipmate, Captain Flint,
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 13: with us? He goes on all my voyages with me.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: Starts away and then stops.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 13: Oh, perhaps you gentlemen would join us, and a glass of.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 8: Grog, or— Thank you, Silver. But if you'll excuse me.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 9: Certainly, sir.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 13: I understand, sir.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: Goes in.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 8: An honest fellow, and capable.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 7: Well, Squire, I don't usually put much faith in your discoveries,
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 7: but John Silver suits me.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: Start for boat.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 8: That man's a perfect trump. We've grown quite familiar.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 7: Squire, you haven't told him anything.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 8: Not a word. I have been most discreet. On the contrary,
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 8: I've got all his little secrets from him.
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: As they start for the boat, he leaves a.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 8: Wife to manage his inn.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 11: Indeed.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 8: A lady of color.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 5: No.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: They laugh and go up into the boat, and her Jim,
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: left upstage with Bundle, goes to inn and knocks.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 13: Well, my lad?
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 3: Silver, Mr.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 4: Silver, I'm looking for.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 13: That's my name, lad, and who may you be?
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: Hence Silver a letter sent her.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 4: Hawkins, sir.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 13: Oh, I see. You are our new cabin boy. Pleased
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 13: I am to see you. We've been waiting for you.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: There is a sound of commotion within the inn.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 13: Oh, sir, what's that?
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: Silver puts Jim behind him, trying to cover the noise.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 13: Oh, that's nothing, lad. Just the men drinking there in
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 13: my house.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 4: I think it's a fight.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: Black Dog, pursued by Hans, appears at the door.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 12: I know my rights, and you can't stop me. I'd
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 12: fight the whole crew of you.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: Exit left upstage. Jim suddenly recognizes Black Dog, cries out,
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: points excitedly to Black Dog.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 11: It's Black Dog!
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 4: Stop him, sir, stop him!
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 13: Hands, after that man, quick!
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: Hands rushes out, left.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 4: It was Black Dog, I'm sure of it.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 13: I don't care two coppers who he is, he hasn't
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 13: paid his score. What did you say his name was,
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 13: Black what?
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 4: Black Dog, sir. Hasn't Mr. Trelawney told you of the Buccaneers?
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 5: What?
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 4: He was one of them, sir.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 13: So, one of those swabs in my house.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: As Hans returns, comes on from street left upstage.
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 8: Well?
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 15: He got away, sir.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 13: You know who that was, Hans?
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: No, sir.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 13: Black Dog. Isn't it so, Hawkins?
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 4: Yes, sir.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 13: And do you know who Black Dog is?
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 5: No, sir.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 13: One of Flint's crew.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: As Hans starts, Now, Hans, you was drinking with him
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: in there.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 13: Aye, that's who you've let go. Now board with you,
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 13: and be a little more particular who you can sort
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 13: with hereafter.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: Hans exits ship.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 13: Now see here, Hawkins, this is a blessed hard thing
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 13: on a man like me. There's Squire Trelawney. What's he
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 13: to think? Here I have this confounded son of a
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 13: Dutchman sitting in my own house, drinking my own rum.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 13: Here you comes and tells me of it plain, and
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 13: I let him give us a slip before my blessed deadlights.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 4: It wasn't your fault.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 13: Nay, that it wasn't, but it might look so.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 4: I'll explain it to the squire.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 13: Will you now?
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 4: Just as soon as I see them.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 13: No, no, lad, you wait till we sail, and then
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 13: when he sees how I work and knows me better,
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 13: then you ups and tells him, and he'll understand.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 4: Very well, sir.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: There's a lad for you, and— Stops suddenly, and breaks
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: out into a laugh.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 13: Why, what a precious old sea-calf I am!
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 4: What is it, sir?
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 13: That swab got away without paying a score. Three goes
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 13: a brum. Shiver my timbers if I hadn't forgotten my score.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 1: Falls on a bench laughing.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 13: Touch my buttons, but that's a good one about my score.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: As they laugh, Squire and Dr. Livesy come down from ship.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 7: Jim, my lad, we've been anxious about you.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 8: Where have you been?
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 4: It was Mother kept me, sir. She's so afraid, and
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 4: she's quite alone.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 8: I sent her a boy to take your place.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 4: Yes, sir, and very kind it was, only he can't
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 4: take my place, sir.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 7: That' s conceit for you, Squire.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 4: oh no no sir you see there's just mother and
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 4: me now and we've never been parted before.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: Dr comes up and pets jim.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 7: There there jim i understand of course.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: Silver significantly to the squire.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 13: Begging your pardon sir don't you think it might be
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 13: good if i took him on board sir oh i'm
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 13: all right sir i'm.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: All right silver crosses right to jim.
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 13: Come with me lad silver will show you your quarters.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: Leads him up gangplank and now.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 8: The ship's company is complete.
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: And Captain Smollett comes hurrying down.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 8: Well, sir, all ready to sail? We mustn't miss this tide, sir.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 9: Squire Trelawney, I don't like this cruise, and I don't
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 9: like my crew.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 12: Eh?
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 9: I was engaged to sail this ship under sealed orders.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 9: Then if that is so, how is it that every
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 9: man before the mast knows more.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 11: Than I do?
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 8: Squire, that's not true.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 9: I learn we are going after treasure. Now, treasure is
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 9: ticklish work, and I don't like the treasure voyages on
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 9: any account. But when they're secret, and the secret's been
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 9: blabbed— Blabbed? Yes, sir, blabbed. Why, sir, it's life or
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 9: death and a close run.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 8: If you're afraid.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: Dr. Holding back Squire.
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 3: Squire.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: To Smollett.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 7: You say you don't like the crew. Aren't they good seamen?
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: Squire crosses right to Apple Stand.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 8: I dare him to deny that.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 9: Six of the men I chose were discharged.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 8: They were fresh water swabs. Silver showed me that.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: Crosses to Box. Sits.
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 9: And do you think it fair that this Silver— The
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 9: ship's cook should have had more authority than I in
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 9: choosing my own crew.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 8: It was a chance to get men quickly.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 9: A slur on me, sir.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: Dr. Esquire is about to reply.
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 7: Captain Smollett, just what are you aiming at?
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 15: Come.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 9: You gentlemen know the risks you're running.
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 8: We do.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 9: And you are determined to go.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 8: We are.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 9: Then I have this to say. Without my orders, those
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 9: men put all the powder and arms in the forehold.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 9: There's a place under our cabin. Why not put them there?
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: But— Dr. L— Stopping the squire.
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 7: All right, Captain.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 15: What else?
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 9: You have some of your people with you.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 8: You don't doubt them, too?
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 9: Birth them beside the cabin.
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: Dr. L— Intercepting the squire as he again starts to answer.
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 7: Go on, Captain Smollett.
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 9: I've heard you have a certain chart, that there are
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 9: crosses on that chart.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: Squire rises, startled.
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 8: I never told that to a soul.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 9: Every man aboard knows it, sir.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 8: Then, Livesey, it must have been you.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 9: I don't know who has this chart, and I don't
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 9: want to know, but I insist it be kept secret.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 7: In short, you fare a mutiny.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 9: I deny your right, sir, to put those words into
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 9: my mouth. No captain would be justified in going to
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 9: sea if he had grounds to say that.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 8: What then?
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 9: Some of these men may be honest, perhaps all are,
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 9: but I am responsible for the ship's safety and the
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 9: life of every manjack aboard her, and I demand that
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 9: I be allowed to take these precautions, or I resign.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 8: Well, then, you can— Wait.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 7: I agree with Captain Smollett. I think it wise to
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 7: do as Captain Smollett says.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 8: Very well, then. I am overruled.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: Turns to Captain.
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 8: But let me tell you, I think the worse of you,
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 8: Captain Smollett. But do as you wish.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 9: Thank you, sir. As soon as we are under way,
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 9: I'll give orders for the removal of the arms from
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 9: the forehold.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: Captain goes to his position on the boat. Squire, as
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: he and Dr. Livesy follow— I should have sent him packing.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 7: Squire, I think you have two honest men aboard, Captain
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 7: Smollett and John Silver.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 9: Bows and ahoy!
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: Bows and blows.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 9: Pipe all hands.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: Enter crew.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 3: Aye, aye, sir.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 8: Doesn't it set you all a-tingle, Livesey?
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 9: Top man aloft.
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 13: Aye, aye, sir.
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: Squire coming up to top of gangplank.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 8: Off at last, Livesey.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 9: Lose the top gallant.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 14: Aye, aye, sir.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 8: Seaward ho! Hang the treasure.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 7: Squire.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 3: Squire.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 8: It's the glory of the sea that's turned my head.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 9: Cast off your gangplank.
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: Aye, aye, sir.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 9: Aye, aye, sir. All on your main sheet.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 2: Aye, aye, sir.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: Crew does so and starts to sing Fifteen Men. Black
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: Dog enters from street and sneaks aboard. Squire has gone
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: up on bridge.
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 2: Jim.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 15: Jim.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 7: Is Jim aboard?
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: Jim dashes out from among the pirates.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 3: Here, Doctor.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 9: Cast off your hosser forward.
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 4: We're starting, sir. We're starting.
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: Jim turns towards pirates.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 5: Livesy.
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: Doctor goes to Squire. Jim turns from pirates.
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 4: That was the song the captain used to sing. The
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 4: pirate's song.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: Bustle until curtain. Act II, Scene III. The Hispaniola at
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: anchor close to Treasure Island. The part of ship shown
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: is some of the stern and most of the amidships,
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: the main part of the stage being taken up with
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: what is called the waist of the ship. Upon the right, however,
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: there is seen a small portion of the poop with
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: small brass cannon mounted upon it. In the background there
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: can be seen a vague outline of Treasure Island, with
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: Spyglass Mountain glowing in the moonlight. When the curtain rises,
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: the men are discovered in with Trelawney, Smollett, and Dr.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 16: Livesy.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: Others of the men are along the rail, some even
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: in the rigging. Smollett, on upper deck and using his
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: hands as megaphone.' All fast there, Ford?' Folding up chart, etc.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 10: All fast, sir.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 9: Anchorage good?
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 8: Aye, aye, sir.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 9: The current's pretty strong here. How's she holding?
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 10: Firming over seven fathoms, sir.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 14: She isn't dragging an inch.
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 5: Good.
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: Turns to crew in waist.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 9: My lads, that island there is the place we've been
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 9: sailing to.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: Murmurs of satisfaction among crew, etc.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 9: Squire Trelawney has a word to say.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 8: Captain Smollett has told me how every man of you
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 8: has done his duty a low and aloft, as I
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 8: never asked to see it better done. And so, to
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 8: show my appreciation, I've had Silver here make ready a
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 8: special mess, and double grog below decks.
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 1: As the crew gives a.
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 13: Shout, My lads, I hold this handsome, and if you
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 13: think as I do, you'll give a good sea cheer
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 13: for Squire Trelawney.
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: As the crew cheer, Come now.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 10: Below, and we'll drink a health to these gentlemen.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 18: Below!
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: I'll go off with talking and gesticulating left.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 8: Well, Captain Smollett, you'll admit now you were wrong.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 9: How so, sir?
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 8: A splendid voyage, a fine brisk crew, and here we are.
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 9: Aye, sir, here we are, but we're not home again.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 8: By heavens, there's no pleasing you. I'm going below.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: As he goes out right.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 8: A trifle more of that man and I should explode.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: Smollett, to Dr. Livesy.
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 4: Yes, sir.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 9: Have you seen nothing suspicious?
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 15: Yes, much.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 7: Then— I believe you're right.
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 9: I tell you, this crew is on the verge of mutiny.
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: And— Stops short as he sees hands come from men's quarters.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 9: What is it, Mr. Hands?
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 15: Some of the men didn't report to meth, sir. Just
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 15: looking for him, sir.
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: As Smollett watches him keenly.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 15: Haven't seen him about, Dick, sir, have you?
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 9: Not a soul-hands.
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 15: Thank you, sir.
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: Exits to upper deck, where he continues his search, now
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: and then looking surreptitiously at Dr. Livesy and Smollett, who
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: watch him. His actions are suspicious.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 7: You see that?
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 9: There's something in the air. We'll hear from that crew
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 9: before the night's over.
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 7: I believe you're right.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 9: Then we must take some precautions, squire or no squire.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 7: Come below. We must make the squire listen to reason.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: They go out. They have scarcely gone when Black Dog
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: steals in left. He makes over toward the cabin when
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: he is met by Hands, who comes from upper deck.
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 2: Where you going?
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 12: Down to that cabin. And if I find.
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 15: That boy— You're not. You're going below.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 12: Stand out of my way.
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 15: You heard Silver's orders.
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 5: Aye.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 12: I've heard his orders. And I've heard his talk and—
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 12: Hands whistles. so you've signalled for him shiver my timbers
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 12: but you'll pay for.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: That springs at hands and they struggle pantingly without words
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: as they do so jim who has been in the
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: rigging but up so high that he is out of
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: sight now comes slowly down it is evident that he
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: has heard and now he watches the fight he comes
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: slyly down and is making toward the cabin as if
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: to go tell the captain when he is startled by
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: someone approaching in fright he turns to hide he sees
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: the apple barrel and jumps into it as mary comes
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: rushing in mary trying to separate the men here black
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: dog hens.
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 9: Are they?
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 13: Well, who's captain here, I'd like to know. By thunder,
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 13: I'll show you the whole pack of you. Give me
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 13: that knife. Give it to me.
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: Black Dog gives up his knife, and Silver turns to Hands.
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 13: Here, Hands, I place him in your charge. At the
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 13: first word, the first sign, you kill him. Understand? Kill him.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: Black Dog, as he goes off with Hands.
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 12: I'll pay you for this, Long John. If he touches me,
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 12: I'll tear him to pieces.
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: Out left. Silver turns to the men who are in groups.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 5: Strong.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 9: Done, we want to.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 4: wait.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: Indicates cabin, and the men look stealthily to see if
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: anyone is about. All clear. Others murmur the same, or
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: no one here, etc.
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 13: Now then, out with it.
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 14: We men want to know how long we're going to
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 14: hold off.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 13: By the power, so the last minute I can manage.
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 1: As the men make an angry start.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 13: They've got that chart, and until we have it, we
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 13: make no move.
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 3: And didn't we see it this very night here in
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 3: their hands... If you had let us at them then.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 13: And you think they'll sit still and let you cut
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 13: their throats while doing it, eh?
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 14: We're nineteen to six, and.
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 3: We've taken a vote.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 13: Oh, have you now?
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 3: We know our rights, Long John.
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 13: Another word, George Marion.
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 3: Vauxhall Council, Long John. Them's rules.
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 4: Rules!
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 13: Rules, is it? I'll show you rules. You'll have all
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 13: the rules you want.
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: Sounds of fighting in Vauxhall. Stops suddenly.
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 11: What's that?
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 3: It's Hans and Black Dog.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 13: Stop him.
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 9: Stop him quick.
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 13: Below with you all. Quick, here comes the doctor. If
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 13: the Squire hears that Rumpus will be ditched. Quick, don't
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 13: let them see anything.
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: As the men rush out, Dr. Livesy and Squire and
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: Smollett come in.
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 9: What was that noise, Silver?
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 13: Noise, sir? I didn't notice anything. If there's anything wrong,
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 13: I'll soon settle it. You can trust me, sir.
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: Goes out quickly.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 8: Of course I trust you. It's only ridiculous trouble-seekers that
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 8: do not.
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: It's— You're wrong, sir. Turns to Dr. Livesy.
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 4: Oh, sir, I've been in there, and I heard. It's mutiny, sir.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 4: And talk about treasure and falling on us to get
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 4: our charts, sir.
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 5: What's that?
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 4: Yes, it's Silver, sir. He's a seafaring man with one
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 4: leg that sailed with Flint. They're pirates, Flint's crew. They
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 4: know what we're after, and they've used us to get
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 4: their ship and sail it for them to the very
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 4: treasure place.
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 5: That's it.
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 9: That explains everything.
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: Turns on Squire.
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 9: Squire, you trusted Silver?
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 8: I did.
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 9: And Silver got it from you.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 7: Are you convinced now, Squire?
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 8: Captain, you were right. I was wrong. I own myself
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 8: an ass and await orders.
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: Captain, to Jim.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 9: Did you hear anything of their plans?
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 4: They're arguing down there now. The men are all for attack,
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 4: but Silver's all for holding them back.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 3: If he only.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 9: If he only could. How many men can we count on?
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 4: They said they were nineteen to six.
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 15: Six.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 9: That must be Redruth, Joyce, Hunter, and ourselves.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 7: Then there are some who are doubtful.'' Well, count on six.
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 9: Ammunition and arms with us. By gad, if Silver can
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 9: only hold them off, if we can get a little time.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 9: This ship needs water. Without it she can't sail. Now,
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 9: according to your chart, there is just one place on
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 9: that island where water can be had.' The stockade. Now,
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 9: if we can make the stockade, with our arms and provisions,
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 9: by heaven, sir, they'd have to come to us. If
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 9: we could only hold them off for a time.
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 1: Joyce rushes in.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 9: How now, Joyce?
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: Joyce by door.
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 10: Begging your pardon, sir, but there's things come over that crew.
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 3: Go on.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 10: First they tried to make Red Ruth and Hunter and
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 10: me join them, and when we refused, they shut themselves
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 10: in a corner by themselves.
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 10: I stole back and listened. It's all about a chart, sir,
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 10: and they're coming to demand it.
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 8: Good lord.
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 10: Silver's been trying to hold him back, sir, but I'm
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 10: afraid if they don't get it, sir, why, it's mutiny, sir,
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 10: and death.
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 8: What shall we do, Captain Smollett?
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 4: I beg your pardon, sir. You say it's time you walked?
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 9: Yes, yes.
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 4: Well then, why not give them the map, sir?
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 5: What?
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 4: They think the map that Captain Smollett has to sail
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 4: the ship by is the right one. Couldn't we give
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 4: them that?
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 9: Jim, I think you've hit it.
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: Turns to Squire.
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 9: That map you gave me was a true one, except
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 9: for the crosses where the treasure is buried.
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 8: It was.
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 9: Jim, you'll find that chart down in my cabin.
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 11: Take it.
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 9: Put some crosses on it. Put them anywhere. Understand?
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 4: Yes, sir.
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 9: Then bring it up here and slip it into the
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 9: Squire's hand. Hurry.
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: Jim rushes out.
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 7: I believe the lad has sold it.
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: Captain turns to Dr. Livesy and Squire.
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 9: Now, in case this comes to an issue, are you
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 9: gentlemen willing to fight them?
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 11: To the last, sir.
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 8: Aye, sir.
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 9: Very well. Have your pistols primed.
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 8: They are, sir.
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 7: And mine, sir.
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 9: Joyce, as soon as those men come from below, take
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 9: all the muskets and load them. Drag as much powder
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 9: and shot into the cabin as you can.
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 10: Very well, sir.
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 9: Stand there, on guard. Let no one touch it. right
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 9: sir if it comes to a fight we'll fight back
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 9: to the cabin and the ammunition we've got a chance
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 9: gentlemen just a bare chance and if we don't make
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 9: it we'll sell our lives dear steady now steady all.
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: The pirates led by silver come forward in an angry
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: group silver however is apparently trying to cover his face somewhat.
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 9: Well my men this looks like a deputation It is, sir,
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 9: a deputation. Well, what is it?
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 13: These men, sir. These men, sir, have been hearing rumors.
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 11: Rumors?
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 13: Rumors, sir, as how this ship was under sealed orders.
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 13: And them sealed orders are treasure, sir.

  Speaker 8: Aye, aye, aye.

  Speaker 4: Treasure.
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 8: And who told you that?
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 13: You did, sir. I? I, sir. Now such things getting
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 13: to the ears of the men makes them sort of greedy.
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 9: Sir, and— Do you mean to say that this is mutiny?
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 13: You can call it what you want, sir.
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 9: Why, damme, I'll have you put in irons.

  Speaker 13: With certain crosses on it. We want that chart.
• 1:25:58

• 1:27:05
  Speaker 1: Silver, as the men press forward.
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 13: Now then, ready with the boats, men. Quick, get them ready.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 1: As men get to work, lowering the boats.
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 13: I'll stand guard and watch, for I tell you I
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 13: can't trust you, Captain Smollett.
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 1: Smollett, down left.
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 9: Well, I can't say as I trust you either, Silver.
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: As Jim comes in with chart, Silver rushes forward.
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 2: Wait.
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 9: Remember your promise.
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 5: Aye.
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 9: Then let them have it, Jim.
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 1: As Jim gives Silver the map, all the men with
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 1: a cry spring forward. Now then, pals, settle with them.
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 4: Back!
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 5: Back!
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: Squire and Dr. Livesy and Smollett all draw their guns.
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 11: Your promise!
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 9: By heavens, gentlemen, if you come a step further!
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: Silver turns to the men.
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 13: Stop!
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 9: Stop, I say!
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 13: You fools, you blockheads!
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 20: Well, haven't we got the chart?
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 13: That was Flint's crew. I've seen Flint's ship of muck
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 13: with blood and fit to sink with gold. Aye, gold
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 13: that's buried there, gold that's ours by rights, belongs to
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 13: us who have sailed with Flint. Flint was captain. You
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 13: may as well know. I was quartermaster.
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 1: As he sees the men again threatening, he goes closer
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 1: to Smollett and speaks low.
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 13: They're rough lot there. It's all I can do to
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 13: hold them. You'd better go below.
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 4: Quick.
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 5: Go.
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 9: I warn you.
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 8: Go.
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 1: As soon as Smollett and Squire and Doctor go— the
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: men all make a dash as if they would follow them.
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 3: Now then, men, after them, we'll finish this up.
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 11: Wait.
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 3: Haven't we got the chart, haven't we?
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 13: Yes, and we got it too easy.
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 1: Too easy?
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 13: It don't look natural there's something behind it.
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 6: A trick maybe a wrong chart.
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 3: Then we'll find out soon enough come lads.
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: Come starts right all jim stepping forward left wait the
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 1: men surprised stop it.
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 4: Was the chart i got from billy bones I brought
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 4: it from the captain's cabin. I ought to know whether
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 4: it's the right one. You go down there and attack
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 4: and you'll lose everything. They're waiting for you. They're muskets
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 4: and pistols primed. They've got all the guns and ammunition.
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 4: You go and you'll lose your ship, your chart, and
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 4: your lives.
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 13: You say this is the right chart? We'll let you
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 13: risk your life on it. I mean, we'll take you
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 13: along as a hostage.
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: As Jim starts.
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 13: That makes a start, eh?
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: Recovering himself.
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 4: I'm willing to go.
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 13: All right, we'll see.
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 15: Hands.
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 2: Aye, aye, sir.
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 1: Hands and O'Brien come forward.
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 13: Hands, you and O'Brien stay here to watch the ship.
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 13: First sign of anything, you fire and tell the squire
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 13: from me that shot from this boat will be a
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 13: signal for Hawkins' death.
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 4: And tell the squire from me that Jim Hawkins isn't afraid.
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 1: In with him.
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 13: Toss him in.
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 1: As they toss him in.
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 13: Now then, over with you all.
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 1: As the men scramble on the boats.
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 13: Push them off.
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 1: Gets over the side and can be heard calling.
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 13: Away with them.
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 1: There are shouts and cries as the men push off.
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: Hands and O'Brien crowd the rail, staring after the boats.
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 1: Then slowly and cautiously, with muskets raised, there come upon
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 1: the deck Squire, Smollett, Dr. Livesy, Red Ruth, Hunter, and
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 1: Joyce and Gray. When Hands and O'Brien turn, they confront
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: the muskets.
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 9: Up with your hands!
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 4: Up with them!
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 5: What's this?
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 9: Joyce, take away their guns!
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: Joyce, going to men and taking guns.
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 16: Right, sir.
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 1: Hands, starting to lower his hands.
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 5: But.
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 9: Up with them, I say.
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 18: Now I warn you, you fire, you just fire one shot,
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 18: and it means the death of Hawkins.
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 7: What's that?
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 15: They've taken him with them.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 18: I was to tell you that the first shot from
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 18: this boat is a signal for death.
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 5: What?
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 9: Come, Livesey, to the boat.
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 15: Where are you going?
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 5: Going.
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 9: By all the stars, we're going to rescue that boy.
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 9: You men did just what we wanted you to. We've
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 9: tricked you, and we're going to fight you to the end.
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 9: And I tell you this much, and you can tell Silver.
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 9: God help you all if anything happens to that boy.
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 1: Curtain. End of Act Two.
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 3: ACT III.
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 1: SCENE I. IN FRONT OF BEN GUNN'S CAVE. When the
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 1: curtain rises, the stage is in darkness, the darkness just
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 1: before dawn. Then gradually the light comes stealing in, turning
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 1: the black to grey, and until this melts into tones
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: of early dawn, the whole reaching a sort of climactic
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 1: effulgence with the rise of the sun. Birds and morning
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 1: fowl are heard in the trees, the whistle of insects,
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 1: which always ushers in dawn, the call of here and
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 1: there an animal. There is no sign of anything human,
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 1: the whole atmosphere of the scene suggesting a place in
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 1: its primal beauty. Then suddenly— When the sun has fully
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 1: risen above the horizon, from the side of the hill
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 1: which was here, steep and stony, a spout of gravel
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 1: is dislodged and falls rattling and bounding through the trees.
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 1: The next instant comes half creeping, half sliding from his cave,
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 1: Ben Gunn, almost cannibal-like. He looks about hurriedly, and then, reassured,
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 1: crawls up to a crevice in the rocks from which
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 1: there trickles a small stream of water. lying full length
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 1: upon the ground, drinks. Then of a sudden he starts
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 1: as if he heard something. Again reassured, he again stoops
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 1: to drink. But this time he arises hurriedly and with
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 1: more decision. He goes quickly to the left and peers
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: through the trees. Apparently seeing no one, he goes to
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 1: the right and searches there. Then suddenly, with a half-smothered cry,
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 1: he turns, runs up back and hides. Jim enters almost
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 1: at once. For a moment he looks about wonderingly. He
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 1: seems weary and tired, and he is about to go
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 1: on when suddenly he catches sight of Ben Gunn hiding.
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 1: All alert now, he stops. My eyes turned instinctively in
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 1: that direction, and I saw a figure leap with great
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 1: rapidity behind the trunk of a pine. What it was,
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 1: whether a bear or man or monkey, I could in
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 1: no wise tell. It seemed dark and shaggy. More I
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 1: knew not. But the terror of this new apparition brought
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: me to a stand. I was now, it seemed, cut
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 1: off upon both sides. Behind me the murderers, before me
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 1: this lurking nondescript, and immediately I began to prefer the
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: dangers I knew to those I knew not. Silver himself
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 1: appeared less terrible in contrast with this creature of the
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 1: woods— the and I turned upon my heel, looking sharply behind
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 1: me over my shoulder, and began to retrace my steps
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 1: in the direction of the boats. Instinctively the figure reappeared, and,
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 1: making a wide circle, began to head me off. I
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 1: was tired, I was tired at any rate, but had
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 1: I been as fresh as when I arose, I could
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 1: see it was in vain for me to contend in
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 1: speed with such an adversary. From trunk to trunk the
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 1: creature flitted like a deer, running manlike on two legs,
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 1: but unlike any man I had ever seen, stooping almost
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 1: double as it ran. Yet a man it was! I
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: could no longer be in doubt about that. I began
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: to recall what I had heard of cannibals. I was
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 1: within an ace of calling for help, but the mere
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 1: fact that he was a man, however wild, had somewhat
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 1: reassured me. and my fear of silver began to revive
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 1: in proportion. I stood still, therefore, and cast about for
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 1: some method of escape. And as I was so thinking,
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 1: the recollection of my pistol flashed into my mind. As
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 1: soon as I remembered I was not defenseless, courage glowed
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 1: again in my heart, and I set my face resolutely
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 1: for this man of the island, and walked briskly toward him.
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 1: He was concealed by this time behind another tree-trunk, but
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 1: he must have been watching me closely, for as soon
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 1: as I began to move in his direction, he reappeared
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 1: and took a step to meet me. Then he hesitated,
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 1: drew back, came forward again, and at last, to my
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 1: wonder and confusion, threw himself on his knees and held
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 1: out his clasped hands in supplication. Jim, who are you?
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 5: Ben Gunn. I am poor Ben Gunn I am. And
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 5: I haven't spoken with a Christian these three years.
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 1: Three years?
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 5: Aye, three blessed years.
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 4: Shipwrecked here?
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 5: Nay, mate, marooned.
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 4: Marooned? You mean put here purposely and left alone to
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 4: live or die?
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 5: Aye, mate, marooned. Three years ago and lived on goats
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 5: since then and berries and oysters. Wherever man is, as I,
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 5: man can do for his self. But my heart is
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 5: more for Christian diet.
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 1: Confidentially stepped to Jim.
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 5: Now, you mightn't have a piece of cheese about you, eh?
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 1: Jim shakes head.
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 11: No.
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 5: Well, many's the long night I've dreamed of cheese. Toasted.
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 5: I will sleep and wake up again, and here I were.
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 4: If I get on board again, you shall have it
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 4: by the ton.
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 5: If ever you get on board again, says you.
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 1: Looking towards C.
• 1:37:22
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 5: Why, now, who's turned to you?
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 1: Jim, noticing Gunn's manner and putting on a show of bravery.
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 10: Not you, I know.
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 5: Right you was. Now you, what do you call yourself, mate?
• 1:37:36
  Speaker 4: Jim.
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 5: Jim?
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 1: Jim suddenly takes hold of Jim's clothing as Jim draws back,
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 1: half afraid.
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 5: Oh, there, there. Now, don't you be afraid of being done.
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 4: I'm not afraid.
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 5: That's right. I've lived that rough. You'd be ashamed to hear.
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 5: Just look at these.
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 1: Indicates his clothing.
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 5: Rags, tatters, pieces of old ship's canvas and bits of
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 5: old sea cloth. all held together with brass buttons and
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 5: bits of stick and loops of terry gaskin. Now, you
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 5: look at me, you'd never think I had a pious mother,
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 5: would you now?
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 4: Why, no, not particularly.
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 5: Well, I had. Remarkable pious. And I was a civil
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 5: pious boy and could rattle off my catechism that fast
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 5: as you couldn't tell one word from another fact and
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 5: here's what it came to.
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 1: Jim points about the island and.
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 5: It began with chuck feathered in a cemetery on the
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 5: blessed gravestones. That's what it begun with, but it went
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 5: farther than that. So my mother told me and predicted
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 5: the whole she did, the pious woman.
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 4: But how did you get here?
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 5: It were Providence that put me here. I've thought it
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 5: all out on this here lonely island, and I'm back
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 5: on piety. You don't catch me tasting rum so much,
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 5: but Just a dimple of luck, of course. First chance
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 5: I get. I'm bound I'll be good, and.
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 1: Takes him by the arm.
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 5: I see the way to.
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 1: Confidentially and looking about.
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 5: Jim, I'm rich.
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 1: Jim, starting and trying to draw away.
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 4: Rich, you, why... Rich.
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 5: Rich, I says. But— And I'll tell you what. I'll
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 5: make a man of you, Jim. You'll bless your stars,
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 5: you will. You was the first that found me.
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 1: And— Suddenly, with great change and intensity.
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 5: Now, Jim, you tell me true.
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 4: Tell you what?
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 5: That ain't Flint's ship out there. It ain't.
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 4: No, and Flint is dead.
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 1: With evident relief— Ah.
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 4: But I'll tell you true as you ask me. There
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 4: are some of Flint's hands aboard. Worst luck for the
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 4: rest of us.
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 5: Not a man with one leg?
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 2: Silver?
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 5: Aye, Silver.
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 4: He's cook and ringleader, too.
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 5: If you was sent by Long John, I'm as good
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 5: as pork, and I know it.
• 1:40:43
  Speaker 4: I'm not sent by Silver.
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 5: Now tell me true, Jim. You tell me true.
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 4: I'm running from him. He and his hands mutinied on us.
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 5: On who, mate?
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 4: Squire Trelawney and Captain Smollett and Dr. Livesey.
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 5: Mutinied, you say, Jim?
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 4: Yes. We had come on that ship to look for
• 1:41:04
  Speaker 4: Flint's treasure.
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 1: Huh?
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 4: We had Flint's map.
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 5: Flint's best? And where did you get that?
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 4: I got it from Bill Bones when he died.
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 5: Billy Bones dead too?
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 4: I gave it to the squire. Somehow Silver got wind
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 4: of it. He managed to deceive the squire by appearing
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 4: kindly and.
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 19: Aye, that would be Silver's way. There was Flint. Barring rum,
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 19: his match was never seen. He were afraid of none,
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 19: not he.
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 5: On his silver... Silver, was that genteel?
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 4: Well, last night they made a demand for the map.
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 4: The squire was in a hard way and gave it
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 4: to them.
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 5: Flint's Fist?
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 4: No, a false map.
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 5: Oh, not the right one.
• 1:41:59
  Speaker 4: No, but I think Silver suspected. He made me come
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 4: along with them. As soon as the boats grounded, I jumped.
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 4: Then I ran with all my might through the woods.
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 4: All night I wandered about, until I found you. And now, sir,
• 1:42:11
  Speaker 4: since I've told you, won't you help me get back
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 4: to my friends? Won't you please?
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 5: So your squire gave him a false map and kept
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 5: the real one?
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 1: Sits on rock.
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 5: Yes. That's a good night.
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 4: What is it?
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 5: You're all in a clove hitch, ain't you? All in
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 5: a clove hitch.
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 4: You will help me, won't you?
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 5: You just put your trust in Ben Gunn. Ben Gunn's
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 5: the man to do it.
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 4: Then you'll send me back?
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 1: Gunn beckons Jim. Jim sits right of Gunn.
• 1:42:54
  Speaker 5: Would you think it likely now your squire would prove
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 5: liberally minded in case of help in being in a
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 5: clove hitch?
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 4: Oh, I'm sure he would.
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 5: Aye, but you see, I didn't mean giving me a
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 5: gate to keep and a suit of livery clothes and such.
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 5: That's not my mark, Jim.
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 1: As Jim starts to reply.
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 5: What I mean is, would he likely come down to
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 5: the tune of, say, one thousand pounds out of money
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 5: that's as good as a man's own already?
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 4: You can count on it. All the hands were to share.
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 5: And a passage home? And a passage home?
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 4: The squire's a gentleman.
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 5: A gentleman born, not a gentleman of fortune, eh, Jim?
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 11: Of course.
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 4: Besides, if we get rid of the others, we should
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 4: want you to help work the vessel home.
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 5: Aye, so you would.
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 4: And now will you tell me how to get back
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 4: to my friends, will you?
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 5: So much I'll tell you, and no more.
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 4: Yes, sir.
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 5: I were in Flint's ship when he buried the treasure.
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 4: You?
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 5: He and six along, six strong seamen. There was a
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 5: shore nigh on a week, and us waiting in the
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 5: bay at the old walrus. One day up went the signal,
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 5: and here come Flint, his head done up in a
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 5: blue scarf, in a little boat, and all by himself.
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 4: By himself. But the others?
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 5: The sun was up, and mortal white he looked about
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 5: the cut water. But there he was, you mind, and
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 5: the six all dead. Dead and buried. How he done it,
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 5: not a man of borders could make out. It was battle, murder,
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 5: and sudden death. Him against six.
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 4: He killed them all?
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 5: Aye, Billy Bones was mate. Long John, he were quartermaster.
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 5: And they asked him where the treasure was. Ah, says he,
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 5: you can go ashore if you like and stay. But
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 5: as for the ship, she'll beat up for more by thunder.
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 5: That's what he said.
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 4: But then how, how did you come here?
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 5: I was in another ship three years back, and we
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 5: sighted this island. Boys, said I, here's Flint's treasure. Let's
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 5: land and find it. The captain was displeased at that,
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 5: but my messmates were all of one mind. Twelve days
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 5: they looked for it, and every day they had a
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 5: worse word for me until one fine morning... All hands
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 5: went aboard. As for you, Benjamin Gunn, says he, here's
• 1:46:10
  Speaker 5: a musket, they says, and a spade and a pickaxe.
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 5: You stay here and find Flint's money for yourself, they says.
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 4: Marooned you?
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 5: Well, Jim, three years I've been here and not a
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 5: bite of Christian diet from that day to this. But now,
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 5: look here. Look at me.
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 4: Well?
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 5: Do I look like a man before the mast? Do I?
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 6: No.
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 5: No, says you. No, I weren't. Neither, says I.
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 4: But then.
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 1: Just.
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 5: You mention them words to your squire.
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 2: No, he weren't.
• 1:46:57
  Speaker 5: Neither. That's the word.
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 4: But I don't understand.
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 1: With more and more significance.
• 1:47:04
  Speaker 5: Three years I was a man of this island, light
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 5: and dark, fair and rain, and sometimes I would maybe
• 1:47:15
  Speaker 5: think upon a prayer, says you, and sometimes I would
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 5: maybe think of my old mother, so be as she's alive,
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 5: you'll say. But the most part of Gunn's time, this
• 1:47:33
  Speaker 5: is what you'll say, the most part of his time
• 1:47:37
  Speaker 5: was took up with another matter. And then you'll give
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 5: him a nip like I do.
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 4: What do you mean?
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 5: Then you're up and you'll say this. Gunn's a good man,
• 1:47:54
  Speaker 5: you'll say. And he puts a precious sight more confidence.
• 1:47:59
  Speaker 5: a precious sight mind ye for a gentleman born than
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 5: in his gentleman of fortune having been one himself.
• 1:48:12
  Speaker 4: I don't understand a word you're saying but how on
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 4: earth am i to tell these things to the squire
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 4: if i can't get.
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 5: Aboard Ah, there's the hitch for sure.
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 4: Can't you help me some way, can't you?
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 5: Aye, lad, you put your trust in Ben Gunn.
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 4: Then will you? Will you help me?
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 5: Aye.
• 1:48:33
  Speaker 1: Crosses to boat, right center up. Points to his boat.
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 5: Here's my boat. I made it with my own two hands.
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 4: You'll let me take it?
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 5: Aye, lad, you may take it.
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 4: And you'll come too. You'll help me reach the boat?
• 1:48:50
  Speaker 5: Nay, lad, not been done. But you can have the coracle.
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 4: Then I'll go alone. Here, help me launch it.
• 1:48:59
  Speaker 1: As he starts to push out the boat, there is
• 1:49:01
  Speaker 1: heard a salvo of shots.
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 4: What was that?
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 1: Crosses to rock center.
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 2: Shots?
• 1:49:09
  Speaker 4: Then they've begun the fight already. What shall I do now?
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 15: Wait.
• 1:49:13
  Speaker 1: Crawls up the side of rock and peers anxiously in
• 1:49:16
  Speaker 1: the distance.
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 5: That wasn't from the boat.
• 1:49:20
  Speaker 4: Where then?
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 11: Up on rock.
• 1:49:22
  Speaker 2: Wait.
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 1: Suddenly he utters a cry.
• 1:49:25
  Speaker 13: What is it?
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 1: Excitedly looks off right.
• 1:49:28
  Speaker 5: Oh, look. Look. There. What do you see?
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 4: The Union Jack.
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 5: Aye, lad. The Union Jack. flying over the old stockade
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 5: as was made years and years ago, my friend. There
• 1:49:46

  Speaker 4: More like they're mutineers.

• 1:49:56
  Speaker 5: no doubt of that. No, that's your friends. There's been blows,
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 5: and I reckon your friend has had the best of it.
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 4: Then come, come quick.
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 1: Down from rock to center. Ben follows, holding Jim back.
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 5: Nay, mate, Ben gun is fly. Rum wouldn't bring me

  Speaker 5: You won't forget my words.
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 9: No, no.
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 5: A precious sight. That's what she'll say. A precious sight,
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 5: more confidence. And then nips him, eh?
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 1: Jim, always trying to get away.
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes.
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 5: And when Ben Gunn's wanted, you know where to find him, Jim?
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 4: No, where?
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 5: Just where you found him today. And him that comes
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 5: is to have a white thing in his hand. And

  Speaker 4: Now, please, please.

  Speaker 5: And, Jim, if you was to see Silver, you wouldn't

  Speaker 5: go to sell Ben Gunn, while the horses wouldn't draw
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 5: it from you.
• 1:51:54
  Speaker 4: No, no, I swear it.
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 5: Well, then, I reckon you can go.
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 1: Let's him go, and Jim darts away. Gunn calls after him.
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 5: Remember, Precious sight and reasons of his own.
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 1: Turns to his own cave.
• 1:52:13
  Speaker 5: If them pirates camp ashore, there'll be widows in the morning.
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 1: Curtain. Act 3, Scene 2. The Stockade. Upon three sides,
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 1: wherever visible, high walls of rude planks, spike-shaped at top.
• 1:52:34
  Speaker 1: At center and back, the front of a log house,
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 1: with porch and door. Back of house, tall, large trees.
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 1: At left, too, a wooden gate with wooden bar to
• 1:52:45
  Speaker 1: fasten it. At several places about the walls, peak holes
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 1: and gun rests. At center of stage, a sawed-off log
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 1: which serves as a table, with other smaller logs which
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 1: are used as seats. The floor is covered with sand.
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 1: When curtain goes up, Gray, Hunter, Red Ruth, Joyce, are
• 1:53:06
  Speaker 1: stationed at different sides, each with gun to his shoulder,
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 1: and each peering through a peek-hole. On the table in
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 1: the center stands Captain Smollett, an old-fashioned spy-glass to his eye.
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 1: Beside him stand Dr. Livesy and the Squire. Before the
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 1: curtain rises, there is heard the report of a cannon,
• 1:53:26
  Speaker 1: fired at intervals. When the curtain rises, reports continue.
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 9: Blaze away, blaze away. That's right. You've little enough powder left.
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 1: Squire draws Dr. Livesy aside.
• 1:53:39
  Speaker 8: We're beaten, Doctor. They have us here like rats in
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 8: a trap.
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 7: And Hawkins, the lad, was like one of my own.
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 8: They've got us. We've got to give in, Captain Smollett.
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 8: We've come to an end.
• 1:53:52
  Speaker 1: Captain drops glass, surprised.
• 1:53:55
  Speaker 9: What's that?
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 8: I am responsible for these men here. I can't see
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 8: them murdered. I'm willing to do anything.
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 9: Well, I'm not, and I don't think these men are either.
• 1:54:06
  Speaker 8: What's that?
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 9: My lads, you heard what the squire said. Now then,
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 9: what do you say? Shall we give up, or stand
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 9: here and fight like Englishmen? Fight to the end, sir.
• 1:54:17
  Speaker 9: You see, I knew I could count on him. And
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 9: now I tell you, we are not beaten yet. There's
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 9: still a chance. For the last half hour I've looked
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 9: at that ship, and only two have I seen aboard her. Well,
• 1:54:32
  Speaker 9: as soon as it grows dark, one or two of
• 1:54:34
  Speaker 9: us will creep down to the beach. Row out and
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 9: cut that ship adrift.
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 7: Yes, but how about the rest of that crew of pirates?
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 7: Not a sound have we heard from them the last hour.
• 1:54:46
  Speaker 9: That's what I mean to find out. I must know
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 9: at once where the enemy is and what he is planning.
• 1:54:53
  Speaker 9: In short, I need volunteers to reconnoiter.
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 1: Gray and Hunter step up at once.
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 9: We'll go, sir.
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 8: Wait. Before you offer, I want you to know the risk.
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 8: It's life or death.
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 2: We're ready, sir.
• 1:55:06
  Speaker 9: Keep to the left, and undercover as much as possible.
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 9: Try for the woods.
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 8: Right, sir.
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 1: All clear, Joyce?
• 1:55:16
  Speaker 8: Yes, sir.
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 9: Off with you, then.
• 1:55:18
  Speaker 1: If you men succeed, we'll owe you our lives.
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 8: I'll remember it. Careful now.
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 9: I tell you, if we can do this, we'll turn
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 9: a trick on them.
• 1:55:33
  Speaker 1: Another cannon shot booms out.
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 8: Captain, it seems to me it's our flag they're aiming at.
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 8: Wouldn't it be wiser to take it in?
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 9: Strike my colors? No, sir, not I.
• 1:55:45
  Speaker 8: We shall have to do it sooner or later. We're
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 8: outnumbered three to one, beaten in every way. I'm willing
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 8: to give them that chart if they'll return young Hawkins
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 8: to us and let us go.
• 1:55:55
  Speaker 7: And I, Captain Smollett, I'd see the whole treasure in
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 7: Davy Jones' locker rather than any harm should come to Jim.
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 1: Several pistol shots ring out. There is a cry and
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 1: a call.
• 1:56:06
  Speaker 10: Hunter and Gray, sir.
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 5: What?
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 1: Squire, who has rushed up excitedly.
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 8: Hunter's wounded.
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 9: The gates! Quick!
• 1:56:14
  Speaker 1: They open the gates. Exclamations ad lib. Hunter, supported by Gray, enters.
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 1: Hunter is badly wounded. The doctor immediately rushes to him.
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 1: Smollett speaks to Gray.
• 1:56:28
  Speaker 9: Well, well, they're all in the woods there, on every side.
• 1:56:32
  Speaker 8: I got one of them, I think.
• 1:56:34
  Speaker 9: In your places.
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 1: To Dr. Livesy, who is bending over Hunter.
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 9: Is he badly hurt, Dr.
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 2: Livesy?
• 1:56:40
  Speaker 5: Yes, very.
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 1: Hunter, as he takes the water.
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 2: Be I going, Doctor?
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 7: Tom, my man, you're going home.
• 1:56:49
  Speaker 2: I wish I had had a look at him first.
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 1: Squire bends over Tom. Tom.
• 1:56:55
  Speaker 8: Tom.
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir?
• 1:56:57
  Speaker 8: Say you forgive me, Tom, for bringing you along.
• 1:57:01
  Speaker 4: Would that be respectful, sir?
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 8: Aye, do, Tom.
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 11: Howsoever it be, so be it.
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 1:57:14
  Speaker 1: Falls back.
• 1:57:16
  Speaker 7: Here, Gray, give me a hand. We'll carry him in.
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 1: Gray and Dr. Livesy carry in Hunter.
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 8: Then it's my fault. All my fault for bringing him.
• 1:57:26
  Speaker 9: No time for that now, sir. Those men out there
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 9: are planning an attack. That's it. Waiting to creep up
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 9: in the dusk.
• 1:57:34
  Speaker 8: All the better for us.
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 9: If we win, yes.
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 5: If not.
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 1: Grey and Dr. Livesy return. To Dr. Livesy.
• 1:57:43
  Speaker 5: Well?
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 7: He's gone, sir.
• 1:57:45
  Speaker 8: Poor lad. Poor lad.
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 5: Aye.
• 1:57:49
  Speaker 7: And how about the lad out there?
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 15: With them?
• 1:57:52
  Speaker 9: We'll know that very soon, or I miss my guess.
• 1:57:55
  Speaker 4: Ahoy!
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 9: Those blackguards out there will not catch us unprepared. We're
• 1:58:00
  Speaker 9: ready for them when they come.
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 4: Ahoy!
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 11: What's that?
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 2: Listen.
• 1:58:05
  Speaker 13: Log house, ahoy!
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 14: Log house, ahoy!
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 1: They all rush to the peak holes and peer out.
• 1:58:12
  Speaker 9: Silver, as I live.
• 1:58:14
  Speaker 7: With a flag of truth.
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 8: What do you suppose?
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 9: Some trick. They know we've discovered their presence.
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 1: Then turns to men.
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 9: All stand ready and watch.
• 1:58:24
  Speaker 1: The men take their places about the stockade and peer
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 1: out through the peak holes.
• 1:58:29
  Speaker 9: Gray, stand by those gates.
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 1: Gray takes his place at the gates.
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 9: Wait till I give the word.
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 13: Ahoy! Log-house, ahoy!
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 9: Who goes? Stand, or we fire.
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 13: Flag of truce.
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 9: What do you want with your flag of truce?
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 13: Captain Silver, come aboard to make terms.
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 9: What?
• 1:58:48
  Speaker 8: Easy.
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 9: It's a trick, I tell you. You come alone?'' Alone.
• 1:58:55
  Speaker 1: Dr. Lowe to Smollett as Gray opens the gates.
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 7: Find out about Hawkins, if you can. Agree to anything.
• 1:59:03
  Speaker 7: Make any terms so you can get the boy.
• 1:59:06
  Speaker 1: Smollett turns as Silver enters. Silver, as gates close behind him.
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 13: Flag of truce. You respect a flag of truce?
• 1:59:13
  Speaker 9: If there's any treachery, Silver, it will be on your side.
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 9: And the Lord help you.
• 1:59:19
  Speaker 13: That' s enough, Captain. A word from me's enough.' looks about
• 1:59:23
  Speaker 13: ah squire at the top of the morning to you
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 13: doctor here's my service.
• 1:59:26
  Speaker 9: If you have anything to say better say it.
• 1:59:29
  Speaker 13: Right you are captain smollett well then we're willing to
• 1:59:32
  Speaker 13: submit if we can come to terms and know bones.
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 9: About it what you wait what terms.
• 1:59:38
  Speaker 13: That was a good lay of yours, sending us on
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 13: that wild goose chase with that false chart. It was
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 13: a clever trick to get us out of the way
• 1:59:44
  Speaker 13: while you reached here.
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 5: Only.
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 9: Well?
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 13: Won't work twice. I suspected you even then, that's why
• 1:59:48
  Speaker 13: I took Hawkins. But now, here you are. And there's
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 13: your ship with the jolly Roger flying at her masthead.
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 13: You lost most of your provisions coming here, and I
• 1:59:55
  Speaker 13: know just about how much ammunition you got.
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 9: That's our affair.
• 1:59:59
  Speaker 13: And ours.
• 2:00:00
  Speaker 1: With sudden fierceness.
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 13: We got you, I tell you, and you've got to
• 2:00:04
  Speaker 13: do what I say. We want that treasure and we
• 2:00:05
  Speaker 13: want it now. That's our point.
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 9: Point enough.
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 13: You want your lives, and that's your point. Now you
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 13: give us that chart, and then either you come aboard
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 13: along with us once the treasure's shipped, and then I'll
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 13: give you my affidavit upon my word of honor to
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 13: clap you somewhere safe ashore.
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 1: Sarcastically.
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 9: Of course we can trust you to do that.
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 13: Well, then, if that ain't to your fancy, some of
• 2:00:25
  Speaker 13: my hands being rough, you can stay here and we'll
• 2:00:27
  Speaker 13: divide stores with you, and I give you my affidavit
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 13: as before to speak the first ship we sight and
• 2:00:31
  Speaker 13: send him here to pick you up. Now you'll own
• 2:00:33
  Speaker 13: that's talking.
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 1: Turns round to the men.
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 13: I hope all hands will overhaul my words, for what
• 2:00:38
  Speaker 13: is spoke to one is spoke to all.
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 9: And is that all?
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 13: Every last word by thunder. Refuse, and you've seen the
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 13: last of me but musket balls.
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 9: Then hear me. If you'll come, one by one, I'll
• 2:00:51
  Speaker 9: engage to clap you all in irons.
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 2:00:55
  Speaker 9: And take you home for trial.
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 13: You will, will you?
• 2:00:59
  Speaker 9: You can't find that treasure without us. You can't work
• 2:01:02
  Speaker 9: that ship without us.
• 2:01:04
  Speaker 13: Look out, I warn you.
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 9: You need us more than we need you.
• 2:01:08
  Speaker 13: Oh, we do, do we? You wouldn't stand there and
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 13: defy me if we still had that boy. If Hawkins
• 2:01:13
  Speaker 13: hadn't got away, I'd have you on your knees fast enough.
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 7: Hawkins safe.
• 2:01:17
  Speaker 15: Thank God.
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 9: Now bundle out of this, double quick. I'll put a
• 2:01:21
  Speaker 9: bullet in your back when next we meet.
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 13: That's your last word?
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 8: It is.
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 13: All right, my men are waiting for me to give
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 13: the word. You'll hear from me in the next five minutes.
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 13: I'll stave your old blockhouse in like a rum punchin.
• 2:01:33
  Speaker 1: Smollett laughs derisively.
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 13: Laugh by thunder laugh. Before a quarter of an hour's out,
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 13: you'll laugh on that other side.
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 1: Turns and looks at the men.
• 2:01:42
  Speaker 13: And then the die'll be the lucky ones.
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 1: Stalks out. Gray closes the door behind him.
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 9: Now, lads, I've given Silver a broadside. Pitched it in red-hot,
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 9: on purpose. And before many minutes are out, as he said,
• 2:01:58
  Speaker 9: we'll be boarded. We're outnumbered. But we fight in shelter.
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 9: And I believe we can drop em'. That's why I
• 2:02:06
  Speaker 9: put it on so thick, to make them fight. We
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 9: can stand anything but what he threatened, a siege or
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 9: being marooned. So let them come, lads, let them come.
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 1: They all turn to get ready, most of them taking
• 2:02:20
  Speaker 1: off their coats.
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 9: Doctor, you take the rear there.
• 2:02:23
  Speaker 1: As he goes to his position in the back.
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 15: Aye, aye, sir.
• 2:02:27
  Speaker 9: Joyce, the south side.
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 1: Joyce takes his position.
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 13: Mr.
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 9: Trelawney, you and Gray will take the north.
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 1: Joyce fires.
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 9: What was that?
• 2:02:37
  Speaker 10: Thought I saw something.
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 1: Captain comes up and looks over Joyce's shoulder.
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 9: Hit him?
• 2:02:43
  Speaker 2: Don't know, sir.
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 5: Wait.
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 9: Easy now.
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 1: Peers out intently.
• 2:02:47
  Speaker 10: There, in the trees to the right. Don't you see
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 10: something moving?
• 2:02:51
  Speaker 13: Yes.
• 2:02:52
  Speaker 2: Wait.
• 2:02:52
  Speaker 9: He's coming nearer. Get ready. Now wait till he gets
• 2:02:57
  Speaker 9: to the open. Now then, ready, and.
• 2:03:00
  Speaker 1: Suddenly stumbles back.
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 9: Oh, my God.
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 1: It's Jim.
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 5: Jim?
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 1: Doctor comes rushing up.
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 5: What?
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 9: Don't call out. See, to the left. They're watching. Now, ready, Joyce?
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 9: Shoot to the left when I call. Ready?
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 5: Ready.
• 2:03:17
  Speaker 9: On the gate, Doctor.
• 2:03:18
  Speaker 1: The Doctor goes to the gate and unbars it.
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 9: Now then.
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 1: Calls.
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 9: Jim, come, come now, come, lad.
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 1: To Joyce.
• 2:03:28
  Speaker 4: Shoot, shoot, man.
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 1: Joyce shoots. There is a rattle of musketry from the
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 1: outside and then a slight pause.
• 2:03:35
  Speaker 9: My God, did they get him? Did they?
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 1: Jim comes rushing in. The doctor grabs him in his arms.
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 7: Thank God you're safe, lad.
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 4: They almost got me, sir.
• 2:03:45
  Speaker 8: Where have you been?
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 7: How did you escape?
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 4: I'll explain all that later, sir. There's something else you
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 4: ought to know. I've met a man who's been here
• 2:03:53
  Speaker 4: on this island three years. Ben Gunn, he says his
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 4: name is. He seems to have something to propose.
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 8: A man on the island?
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 9: I see something moving, sir. Get back to your places.
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 1: Doctor and Squire go to their places.
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 9: Jim, you go into the house. Get undercover.
• 2:04:10
  Speaker 4: No, sir. I'll stay here and help.
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 15: You, sir.
• 2:04:12
  Speaker 8: I think I see them over here, too, sir.
• 2:04:15
  Speaker 7: Aye, and here, too.
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 9: In here, sir. That is from all sides. They're getting
• 2:04:20
  Speaker 9: ready for a charge. Now hold steady.
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 8: They're starting.
• 2:04:25
  Speaker 9: Save your ammunition until they reach open.
• 2:04:28
  Speaker 7: Have they come?
• 2:04:29
  Speaker 9: Then let them have it.
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 1: There are cries and shouts together, with shots from the outside.
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 1: Those within the stockade return the fire, while Jim and
• 2:04:38
  Speaker 1: Smollett are busy loading and relaying muskets.
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 8: I got one of them.
• 2:04:42
  Speaker 9: And I, sir?
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 7: Four of them, on this side. They're making for the wall.
• 2:04:47
  Speaker 5: Shoot!
• 2:04:48
  Speaker 9: Keep them away! Don't let them over! At them, lads!
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 1: The sounds have increased. Cries, curses, and musket shots are heard.
• 2:04:57
  Speaker 11: Look out there!
• 2:04:57
  Speaker 9: You, Redruth, over your head!
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 1: Above another pirate's head, there appears a pirate with a
• 2:05:03
  Speaker 1: red kerchief over his head and a knife in his
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 1: mouth over man's head. Man shoots and the pirate falls.
• 2:05:10
  Speaker 11: That's it!
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 1: Three pirates, led by Anderson, break over the wall. The
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 1: fight now is a running one, both within and without
• 2:05:18
  Speaker 1: the stockade.
• 2:05:19
  Speaker 9: You, Squire! Gray, back in the house, lads. We'll fight
• 2:05:22
  Speaker 9: them there.
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 1: One pirate rushes at Red Ruth and stuns in fight.
• 2:05:27
  Speaker 1: Another rushes at the doctor and forces him to flee.
• 2:05:31
  Speaker 1: The fight is going very much with the pirates. It
• 2:05:34
  Speaker 1: is now a running fight about the house, with cutlasses
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 1: and pistols. For a time it is heard rather than seen,
• 2:05:42
  Speaker 1: for it is behind the house and within it. Then
• 2:05:45
  Speaker 1: suddenly from one side of the house there comes running Anderson,
• 2:05:49
  Speaker 1: cutlass in hand. Anderson, rushing forward.
• 2:05:54
  Speaker 9: Oh, man, don't leave one of them, not a one.
• 2:05:58
  Speaker 1: Suddenly, Jim comes rushing from the side opposite Anderson and
• 2:06:01
  Speaker 1: runs full tilt into him and is caught.
• 2:06:05
  Speaker 3: So, it's you, you young rascal.
• 2:06:09
  Speaker 11: Well, here's where we settles with you.
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 4: Oh, let me go, let me go.
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 5: Let you go?
• 2:06:15
  Speaker 11: Aye, here's where you go a long, long ways, lad.
• 2:06:20
  Speaker 1: He raises his cutlass. Jim shrieks. Then suddenly there is
• 2:06:24
  Speaker 1: a pistol shot and Anderson falls. Gray comes running around
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 1: the corner.
• 2:06:29
  Speaker 9: I was just in time, lad.
• 2:06:31
  Speaker 1: From the back of the house and inside, there come
• 2:06:34
  Speaker 1: running the pirates pursued by the doctor, Squire, and Smollett.
• 2:06:38
  Speaker 1: The pirates make for the wall.
• 2:06:40
  Speaker 15: After them!
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 9: Don't let them get away! Don't let them escape!
• 2:06:43
  Speaker 1: Suddenly, one of the pirates upon the top of the
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 1: stockade turns and fires deliberately at Smollett, and Smollett stumbles
• 2:06:50
  Speaker 1: back and finally falls.
• 2:06:53
  Speaker 7: Captain, you're wounded.
• 2:06:55
  Speaker 11: Now listen, quick!
• 2:06:56
  Speaker 9: Before they can reach the beach. Beat them to the
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 9: Hispaniola and cut her adrift. The tide will carry her
• 2:07:03
  Speaker 9: to the north inlet. Once there, and you've got them,
• 2:07:07
  Speaker 9: I tell you.
• 2:07:08
  Speaker 11: You've got them.
• 2:07:10
  Speaker 5: Go.
• 2:07:11
  Speaker 4: Go.
• 2:07:12
  Speaker 5: Quick.
• 2:07:13
  Speaker 9: Save the ship.
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 4: I'll go. No.
• 2:07:16
  Speaker 9: No, Jim.
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 4: The captain said to save the ship, and I'm going
• 2:07:19
  Speaker 4: to do it.
• 2:07:20
  Speaker 1: Curtain. Act 3, Scene 3. the Hispaniola tossing at sea.
• 2:07:27
  Speaker 1: The ship is in motion, but evidently not under control.
• 2:07:31
  Speaker 1: She is under her mainsail and two jibs. The sails
• 2:07:35
  Speaker 1: droop at times, and then fill with the report of
• 2:07:37
  Speaker 1: a gun. The tiller spins round from side to side.
• 2:07:41
  Speaker 1: The boat tosses and pitches as the sea runs high.
• 2:07:45
  Speaker 1: Two men, Black Dog and Hands, are seen upon the
• 2:07:49
  Speaker 1: deck of the ship, locked together in deadly wrestle, each
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 1: with a hand upon the other's throat. Finally, they separate
• 2:07:56
  Speaker 1: for a moment, and then knives flash. Black Dog, by
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 1: a quick movement, wounds Hands in the leg. As he
• 2:08:04
  Speaker 1: starts to follow up his advantage, Hands turns quickly, catches
• 2:08:08
  Speaker 1: Black Dog by the neck, and holds him back against
• 2:08:11
  Speaker 1: the rigging, his knife at his throat. Both are drunk. Hands,
• 2:08:16
  Speaker 1: as he gets his.
• 2:08:17
  Speaker 4: Wound, Oh!
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 5: You would, you would, would you?
• 2:08:22
  Speaker 9: Now then.
• 2:08:24
  Speaker 1: The boat lurches. At the same instant, Hands makes a
• 2:08:27
  Speaker 1: lunge and catches Black Dog.
• 2:08:29
  Speaker 9: Now then, speak.
• 2:08:32
  Speaker 3: You set the ship adrift, you did.
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 5: Say it, say it.
• 2:08:36
  Speaker 1: Struggling.
• 2:08:37
  Speaker 2: No, no.
• 2:08:39
  Speaker 3: You'll never tell that to Silver.
• 2:08:41
  Speaker 5: Now, for the last time, say it, say it all. No.
• 2:08:46
  Speaker 2: Then there.
• 2:08:48
  Speaker 1: Stabs him.
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 15: You'll never tell Silver.
• 2:08:51
  Speaker 1: Shakes him again and again as he speaks. Throws him
• 2:08:55
  Speaker 1: from him. Tries to stumble over the deck, but is
• 2:08:59
  Speaker 1: forced to catch the rigging of the mainsail.
• 2:09:01
  Speaker 2: What's this?
• 2:09:03
  Speaker 15: By thunder, he's got me! He got me!
• 2:09:06
  Speaker 3: I can't see! What is it?
• 2:09:08
  Speaker 1: Growing more and more terrified.
• 2:09:10
  Speaker 15: I've gone blind!
• 2:09:11
  Speaker 3: I've gone blind!
• 2:09:13
  Speaker 1: Sinks back in the rigging, trying to hold himself up,
• 2:09:16
  Speaker 1: apparently in a faint. For a moment there is silence
• 2:09:20
  Speaker 1: while the boat tosses from side to side. Jim appears
• 2:09:23
  Speaker 1: climbing over the side of the boat. For a moment
• 2:09:26
  Speaker 1: he looks about timidly and afraid. Then he calls, Ahoy!
• 2:09:32
  Speaker 9: Shipmates!
• 2:09:32
  Speaker 4: Ahoy!
• 2:09:34
  Speaker 1: He waits for an answer. When he gets none, he
• 2:09:37
  Speaker 1: scrambles down on deck and with pistols drawn goes carefully
• 2:09:41
  Speaker 1: over the boat. Finally he sees O'Brien dead and Hans
• 2:09:45
  Speaker 1: apparently dead. He starts back.
• 2:09:48
  Speaker 4: Oh, dead?
• 2:09:50
  Speaker 1: As he starts away, there is a groan. Jim turns quickly.
• 2:09:54
  Speaker 1: He is very frightened. With a cry, he rushes out
• 2:09:58
  Speaker 1: and on the companionway. He comes back almost at once.
• 2:10:02
  Speaker 9: Gone, all gone.
• 2:10:03
  Speaker 4: I've got the ship. I've got the ship.
• 2:10:05
  Speaker 1: He turns to go to the tiller.
• 2:10:07
  Speaker 4: If I can only sail her.
• 2:10:09
  Speaker 1: As he hears a groan.
• 2:10:10
  Speaker 11: Who's that?
• 2:10:11
  Speaker 1: He waits for an answer. When he gets none, he
• 2:10:14
  Speaker 1: stands fearfully waiting. Again, a groan.
• 2:10:18
  Speaker 4: Answer, answer, or I fire.
• 2:10:20
  Speaker 2: Oh, it is your hands, lad.
• 2:10:26
  Speaker 4: So it's you, Mr.
• 2:10:26
  Speaker 5: Hands.
• 2:10:27
  Speaker 4: Much hurt?
• 2:10:28
  Speaker 15: I'm dying, dying.
• 2:10:30
  Speaker 5: I can't move.
• 2:10:32
  Speaker 4: See that you don't, for the first move I shoot.
• 2:10:35
  Speaker 15: And where might you have come from?
• 2:10:37
  Speaker 4: I have come to take possession of this ship.
• 2:10:40
  Speaker 1: As Hands laughs.
• 2:10:41
  Speaker 4: So, Mr. Hands, you'll regard me as captain until further notice.
• 2:10:45
  Speaker 1: Wickedly.
• 2:10:46
  Speaker 15: Captain, eh?
• 2:10:47
  Speaker 5: Jim laughs.
• 2:10:48
  Speaker 1: Presenting his pistols.
• 2:10:49
  Speaker 4: Is it understood, Mr.
• 2:10:51
  Speaker 5: Hands?
• 2:10:51
  Speaker 11: Aye, it's understood.
• 2:10:54
  Speaker 4: Then first we'll strike those colors.
• 2:10:56
  Speaker 1: Pulls down the jolly Roger.
• 2:10:58
  Speaker 4: There, God save the King, and there's an end to
• 2:11:01
  Speaker 4: Captain Silver, too.
• 2:11:02
  Speaker 1: Throws flag overboard.
• 2:11:04
  Speaker 15: Will you tell me how you might have come aboard?
• 2:11:07
  Speaker 4: All night I've been below in a little boat. It
• 2:11:10
  Speaker 4: was I who cut the ship adrift.'' You?
• 2:11:13
  Speaker 15: And I killed him there for it.
• 2:11:15
  Speaker 4: I'm going to—'' You' ve been drifting all night.' I'm going
• 2:11:18
  Speaker 4: to beach this ship at the north inlet, where we
• 2:11:21
  Speaker 4: can get off the provisions, and where Silver will never
• 2:11:23
  Speaker 4: find her.
• 2:11:24
  Speaker 5: All alone, eh?
• 2:11:26
  Speaker 4: Yes, alone.
• 2:11:27
  Speaker 15: Ever sail a boat, mate?
• 2:11:28
  Speaker 4: I'm going to sail this one, with your help, Mr.
• 2:11:31
  Speaker 19: Hands.
• 2:11:33
  Speaker 15: Oh, with my help, is it?
• 2:11:35
  Speaker 4: Just so, Mr.
• 2:11:36
  Speaker 5: Hands.
• 2:11:37
  Speaker 15: Now, I'll make a bargain with you, Hawkins.
• 2:11:41
  Speaker 4: Captain Hawkins.
• 2:11:42
  Speaker 15: Captain Hawkins. This leg's bleeding.
• 2:11:46
  Speaker 5: I'll die, I will.
• 2:11:47
  Speaker 18: If you don't give me a hand, give me a
• 2:11:49
  Speaker 18: kerchief to tie my wound up and some food and drink,
• 2:11:53
  Speaker 18: and I'll tell you how to sail her.
• 2:11:54
  Speaker 15: And that's about square.
• 2:11:56
  Speaker 4: You know where the north inlet is?
• 2:11:58
  Speaker 15: To be sure.
• 2:11:59
  Speaker 4: You'll take her there?
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 3: Aye.
• 2:12:02
  Speaker 4: Mind at the first sign of any treachery from you.
• 2:12:05
  Speaker 15: I'm no such fool. Go below and get me some brandy.
• 2:12:09
  Speaker 4: No.
• 2:12:09
  Speaker 15: But you said.
• 2:12:11
  Speaker 4: First the boat.
• 2:12:12
  Speaker 2: Smart lad.
• 2:12:14
  Speaker 15: Take no chances. Well, have it your way. Take a
• 2:12:19
  Speaker 15: haul on the mainsail there.
• 2:12:21
  Speaker 1: Jim goes to the mainsail and pulls at the ropes
• 2:12:23
  Speaker 1: to make her fast.
• 2:12:25
  Speaker 15: Hold her tight.
• 2:12:26
  Speaker 5: There.
• 2:12:27
  Speaker 1: As Jim works, Hans seems always to be growing stronger
• 2:12:31
  Speaker 1: and wilier.
• 2:12:33
  Speaker 15: She'll sail under the mainsail alone. Now put your helm hard, Ali.
• 2:12:38
  Speaker 1: Hans becomes more and more active while Jim's eyes are
• 2:12:41
  Speaker 1: upon steering. He surreptitiously tries and is able to move
• 2:12:45
  Speaker 1: back and forth.
• 2:12:45
  Speaker 15: It's a narrow channel. You'll have to feel your way.
• 2:12:49
  Speaker 4: She's safe so far.
• 2:12:51
  Speaker 15: You're doing fine, lad. Couldn't do better myself. And now,
• 2:12:55
  Speaker 15: come here.
• 2:12:56
  Speaker 1: Comes up.
• 2:12:57
  Speaker 4: What do you want?
• 2:12:58
  Speaker 15: A little drop of brandy. I've earned it now.
• 2:13:02
  Speaker 4: All right, I'll get it. You sure the boat will
• 2:13:04
  Speaker 4: be all right?
• 2:13:05
  Speaker 15: Sure, old steady.
• 2:13:06
  Speaker 13: All right.
• 2:13:07
  Speaker 1: Jim enters cabin. Hands crawls to knife, hides it in
• 2:13:11
  Speaker 1: his bosom, and returns to former position as Jim returns.
• 2:13:16
  Speaker 4: I couldn't find any, not a drop left.
• 2:13:18
  Speaker 15: Jim, I'm for my long home, lad, this time, and
• 2:13:22
  Speaker 15: no mistake. Come here.
• 2:13:25
  Speaker 1: As Jim comes a step nearer, Hands places his hand
• 2:13:28
  Speaker 1: in his jacket where he has concealed the knife. Jim, startled,
• 2:13:32
  Speaker 1: draws his pistols.
• 2:13:34
  Speaker 3: None of that.
• 2:13:35
  Speaker 4: Take your hand out, take it out, or I'll.
• 2:13:38
  Speaker 1: Hands, draw out his hand with stick of tobacco.
• 2:13:42
  Speaker 15: Just getting my tobacco, see? Will you cut me a
• 2:13:46
  Speaker 15: junk of that?
• 2:13:47
  Speaker 5: I haven't a knife.
• 2:13:50
  Speaker 4: Throw it here.
• 2:13:51
  Speaker 1: Hans throws him the tobacco and he starts to cut it.
• 2:13:54
  Speaker 4: If I were in your place, I'd be thinking of
• 2:13:56
  Speaker 4: prayers and not tobacco.
• 2:13:58
  Speaker 5: Why?
• 2:13:59
  Speaker 15: Tell me that.
• 2:14:00
  Speaker 4: Why? You've broken your trust. You've lived in sin and
• 2:14:03
  Speaker 4: lies and blood and you ask me why? For God's mercy,
• 2:14:07
  Speaker 4: that's why, Mr.
• 2:14:07
  Speaker 5: Hans.
• 2:14:08
  Speaker 1: Jim gives him back the tobacco and goes to the tiller.
• 2:14:12
  Speaker 4: I can see the beach from here.
• 2:14:14
  Speaker 15: All that means, Southern Notch.
• 2:14:16
  Speaker 5: All right, lad.
• 2:14:17
  Speaker 4: All right, sir.
• 2:14:18
  Speaker 1: Hans now, knife in hand, has worked up back of Jim. Jim,
• 2:14:23
  Speaker 1: holding the tiller, has not noticed him, but the moment
• 2:14:26
  Speaker 1: that Hans throws himself forward with a cry, Jim suddenly
• 2:14:30
  Speaker 1: sees him and throws himself aside to avoid the blow.
• 2:14:34
  Speaker 1: As he does so, he lets go the tiller, which
• 2:14:37
  Speaker 1: springs back and hits Hans across the chest, stopping him.
• 2:14:41
  Speaker 1: Before he could recover, I was safe out of the
• 2:14:44
  Speaker 1: corner where he had trapped me, with all the deck
• 2:14:47
  Speaker 1: to dodge about. Just forward of the mainmast I stopped,
• 2:14:51
  Speaker 1: drew from my pocket my pistol, though he was once
• 2:14:54
  Speaker 1: more coming directly toward me.
• 2:14:56
  Speaker 4: Stop, stop, or I fire.
• 2:14:58
  Speaker 15: You little rat! I've got a score to settle with you.
• 2:15:03
  Speaker 1: Starts forward.
• 2:15:04
  Speaker 5: Stop!
• 2:15:06
  Speaker 1: As Hans still comes forward.
• 2:15:08
  Speaker 4: Stop!
• 2:15:09
  Speaker 1: As Hans still comes forward.
• 2:15:11
  Speaker 4: Stop! Well, then, take it.
• 2:15:14
  Speaker 1: He pulls the trigger. The gun doesn't explode. Hands, with
• 2:15:19
  Speaker 1: a cry of exultation.
• 2:15:20
  Speaker 7: Aha!
• 2:15:22
  Speaker 15: So the guns don't go off.
• 2:15:23
  Speaker 18: Never thought to prime them, my fine captain.
• 2:15:27
  Speaker 15: Now then, my brave lad, you're going to save the boat,
• 2:15:30
  Speaker 15: are you? We'll see. We'll see.
• 2:15:33
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, Hands has been approaching, and Jim has been fleeing.
• 2:15:38
  Speaker 1: Wounded as he was, it was wonderful how fast he was.
• 2:15:41
  Speaker 1: I had no time to try my other pistol. One
• 2:15:44
  Speaker 1: thing I saw, I must simply retreat before me, or
• 2:15:48
  Speaker 1: he would speedily hold me boxed in the stern. I
• 2:15:51
  Speaker 1: placed my hands on the mainmast and waited, every nerve stretched.
• 2:15:55
  Speaker 1: Seeing I meant to dodge, he also paused, and a
• 2:15:59
  Speaker 1: moment or two passed in feints on his part and
• 2:16:02
  Speaker 1: correspondent movements on mine. It was such a game as
• 2:16:05
  Speaker 1: I had often played at home about the rocks— and
• 2:16:08
  Speaker 1: I thought I could hold my own at it against
• 2:16:11
  Speaker 1: an elderly seaman with a wounded thigh. Well, while I
• 2:16:15
  Speaker 1: stood thus, suddenly the Hispaniola struck, staggered, ground for an
• 2:16:20
  Speaker 1: instant on the sand, and then swift as a blow
• 2:16:23
  Speaker 1: canted over on the port side till the deck stood
• 2:16:26
  Speaker 1: at an angle of about forty-five degrees. We were both
• 2:16:29
  Speaker 1: capsized in a second, and both of us rolled about
• 2:16:33
  Speaker 1: together into the scuppers, but I was first to foot again.
• 2:16:37
  Speaker 1: The sudden canting of the ship made the deck no
• 2:16:40
  Speaker 1: place for running, and I had to find some new
• 2:16:42
  Speaker 1: way of escape. Quick as thought I sprung into the mizzen-shrouds,
• 2:16:47
  Speaker 1: rattled up hand over hand, and did not draw breath
• 2:16:50
  Speaker 1: until I was safe on the cross-trees. As they play
• 2:16:54
  Speaker 1: a sort of grim hide-and-seek, he makes a movement and
• 2:16:57
  Speaker 1: misses Jim.
• 2:16:58
  Speaker 18: By thunder, if this leg were right, it would be
• 2:17:02
  Speaker 18: quick work for you.
• 2:17:03
  Speaker 15: But I'll get you. You'll not get out of this corner.'
• 2:17:07
  Speaker 15: I've got you now. I've got you.
• 2:17:10
  Speaker 1: As Hands almost corners Jim, the boat strikes and they
• 2:17:13
  Speaker 1: are tumbled together. Jim scurries to the main mast.
• 2:17:17
  Speaker 4: Not yet, Mr.
• 2:17:18
  Speaker 5: Hands.
• 2:17:18
  Speaker 4: Not yet.
• 2:17:19
  Speaker 1: Scurries up the main mast.
• 2:17:22
  Speaker 15: If that boat hadn't struck, I'd have had you. And
• 2:17:25
  Speaker 15: I've got you now. You can't get down. I've got
• 2:17:30
  Speaker 15: you up a tree, my fine captain.
• 2:17:32
  Speaker 1: Jim draws other pistol.
• 2:17:34
  Speaker 4: I still have another pistol, Mr.
• 2:17:36
  Speaker 10: Hands.
• 2:17:36
  Speaker 4: It is not like the other. This one is primed.
• 2:17:39
  Speaker 4: Another step and I'll blow your brains out.
• 2:17:42
  Speaker 5: Stops. Eh?
• 2:17:44
  Speaker 4: Drop that knife, Mr.
• 2:17:45
  Speaker 12: Hands.
• 2:17:46
  Speaker 4: Drop that knife. Drop it, I say.
• 2:17:49
  Speaker 2: Drop it?
• 2:17:50
  Speaker 15: Very well, lad.
• 2:17:51
  Speaker 1: Suddenly hurls the dagger.
• 2:17:53
  Speaker 15: There, take it.
• 2:17:55
  Speaker 1: With a cry, as the knife strikes him in the shoulder,
• 2:17:58
  Speaker 1: turns away.
• 2:17:58
  Speaker 5: Oh!
• 2:18:00
  Speaker 1: Then, as Hands with shout makes toward him, he pulls
• 2:18:03
  Speaker 1: the triggers on the pistols, and Hands, with a cry—
• 2:18:07
  Speaker 1: pitches forward as Jim lets fall the pistols. With an effort, Jim,
• 2:18:12
  Speaker 1: crying out under the pain, finally wrenches his shoulder free,
• 2:18:16
  Speaker 1: and then tottering and almost faint, he.
• 2:18:18
  Speaker 4: Cries, The stockade! Now for the stockade!
• 2:18:23
  Speaker 1: Curtain End of Act 3 Act IV. Scene I. The Stockade.
• 2:18:40
  Speaker 1: When the curtain rises, it is early dawn. The pirates
• 2:19:06
  Speaker 1: are in possession of the stockade, but there are only
• 2:19:09
  Speaker 1: six of them left. These are asleep about the stockade.
• 2:19:14
  Speaker 1: Silver leans against one of the posts of the porch, asleep,
• 2:19:17
  Speaker 1: his parrot perched upon a stick just above him. Among
• 2:19:21
  Speaker 1: the pirates are Mary, Morgan, Dirk, and Anderson. Several of
• 2:19:26
  Speaker 1: them have their heads bandaged as if wounded. For a
• 2:19:30
  Speaker 1: moment after the curtain goes up, nothing happens. Then over
• 2:19:34
  Speaker 1: the wall there comes Jim. In the half-light he stumbles around,
• 2:19:38
  Speaker 1: peering at the sleepers. Finally he comes up to Silver,
• 2:19:42
  Speaker 1: and then he discovers that the pirates now occupy the stockade.
• 2:19:46
  Speaker 1: With a cry he stumbles back and starts away, but
• 2:19:50
  Speaker 1: just as he does so the parrot cries out, Pieces
• 2:19:53
  Speaker 1: of eight, pieces of eight. Immediately there is a stir,
• 2:19:57
  Speaker 1: and Jim, as he runs toward the gate, bolts into Mary,
• 2:20:01
  Speaker 1: who has awakened and is sitting up on the ground.
• 2:20:04
  Speaker 4: Squire, squire, Silver!
• 2:20:06
  Speaker 1: GEORGE MARY CATCHING JIM WHO STRUGGLES No you don't!
• 2:20:11
  Speaker 3: No you don't!
• 2:20:13
  Speaker 4: Let me be!
• 2:20:13
  Speaker 13: Let me be!
• 2:20:14
  Speaker 16: Silver!
• 2:20:15
  Speaker 5: Silver!
• 2:20:16
  Speaker 1: They are all awake by this time, and it is
• 2:20:18
  Speaker 1: now light.
• 2:20:19
  Speaker 13: What is it?
• 2:20:21
  Speaker 3: Look here. Here's a nice little catch.
• 2:20:23
  Speaker 13: Well, shiver my timbers if it ain't James Hawkins.
• 2:20:26
  Speaker 3: I ain't looking brash as ever.
• 2:20:28
  Speaker 14: I'd like to.
• 2:20:30
  Speaker 13: Come, lad, speak up.
• 2:20:31
  Speaker 1: AS JIM STANDS WITH HIS BACK AGAINST THE WALL AND REFUSES.
• 2:20:34
  Speaker 13: TO ANSWER Just dropped in for an early morning call.
• 2:20:38
  Speaker 1: Still, Jim refuses to answer.
• 2:20:40
  Speaker 13: Now, I take that friendly. Well, lad, speak up. Speak up.
• 2:20:43
  Speaker 4: Dr. Livesey and Squatchulani.
• 2:20:46
  Speaker 13: This here gets me at due, but, lad, I'm going
• 2:20:48
  Speaker 13: to know what you've been up to. I'll not say
• 2:20:50
  Speaker 13: a word until you tell me where my friends are.
• 2:20:52
  Speaker 8: What?
• 2:20:53
  Speaker 3: The little rat.
• 2:20:54
  Speaker 1: Both he and Morgan make a movement toward Jim. To
• 2:20:58
  Speaker 1: Morgan and Mary.
• 2:20:59
  Speaker 13: Who's captain here?
• 2:21:01
  Speaker 1: Turning to Jim.
• 2:21:02
  Speaker 13: I want you to recognize your position. Here you are
• 2:21:05
  Speaker 13: with us, who, you'll admit, ain't got no cause to
• 2:21:07
  Speaker 13: be too friendly.
• 2:21:09
  Speaker 8: Aye, that's right.
• 2:21:10
  Speaker 13: So the truth, lad, the truth.
• 2:21:12
  Speaker 4: I have a right to know first what's what, why
• 2:21:15
  Speaker 4: you're here, and where my friends are.
• 2:21:17
  Speaker 3: What's what? Ah, he'd be a lucky one as no bat.
• 2:21:21
  Speaker 1: To Mary.
• 2:21:23
  Speaker 13: Batten down your atches.
• 2:21:24
  Speaker 1: To Jim.
• 2:21:26
  Speaker 13: Now come, lad, come.
• 2:21:27
  Speaker 4: Not until you tell me.
• 2:21:29
  Speaker 8: You won't, eh?
• 2:21:30
  Speaker 13: We'll see.
• 2:21:31
  Speaker 1: To Morgan.
• 2:21:32
  Speaker 13: Hold there, Tom Morgan.
• 2:21:34
  Speaker 1: As Morgan growls angrily.
• 2:21:36
  Speaker 13: Jim's right. It's only fair he knows.
• 2:21:39
  Speaker 1: Turns to Jim.
• 2:21:40
  Speaker 13: Last night down came Dr. Lizzie with the flag of truce. Silver,
• 2:21:44
  Speaker 13: says he, let's bargain.
• 2:21:46
  Speaker 3: A pretty bargain it was.
• 2:21:48
  Speaker 1: Angrily to Mary.
• 2:21:50
  Speaker 13: The bargain I made. Him and me. Him and his
• 2:21:52
  Speaker 13: friends to give up this place and us not to
• 2:21:54
  Speaker 13: touch him.
• 2:21:55
  Speaker 9: And why?
• 2:21:56
  Speaker 13: Because they had ammunition we needed. Because they had this
• 2:21:58
  Speaker 13: place we needed. Because they can't get away.
• 2:22:01
  Speaker 4: Why did they change then?
• 2:22:03
  Speaker 13: They thought they'd get out and make for the ship
• 2:22:04
  Speaker 13: and leave us here, and I let them think so.
• 2:22:07
  Speaker 1: Sinisterly.
• 2:22:09
  Speaker 13: I've got the only boat to reach that ship, and
• 2:22:10
  Speaker 13: I've got it hidden. I've beaten them, fooled them at
• 2:22:13
  Speaker 13: every turn.
• 2:22:15
  Speaker 3: Oh, have you?
• 2:22:16
  Speaker 13: I by gum I have.
• 2:22:18
  Speaker 4: Well, then, look there. The ship's gone.
• 2:22:21
  Speaker 13: Well, shiver my timbers.
• 2:22:23
  Speaker 1: There is great astonishment among the men. For a moment
• 2:22:26
  Speaker 1: they seem stunned. Then suddenly there is growing excitement.
• 2:22:31
  Speaker 13: Marooned.
• 2:22:32
  Speaker 5: Tricked.
• 2:22:33
  Speaker 1: Beaten fooled with a sudden cry they make a dash
• 2:22:36
  Speaker 1: toward jim wait as the men growl angrily silver speaks
• 2:22:41
  Speaker 1: meaningly to jim jim at bay.
• 2:22:45
  Speaker 4: I'm not such a fool that i don't know what
• 2:22:46

• 2:23:02
  Speaker 1: There is a growl from the men.
• 2:23:04
  Speaker 4: And do you want to know who did it? Why,
• 2:23:07
  Speaker 4: I did it.
• 2:23:08
  Speaker 1: Morgan. Starts for Jim.
• 2:23:11
  Speaker 6: You!
• 2:23:12
  Speaker 3: I'll slit his throat down!
• 2:23:13
  Speaker 1: Silver thunders at Mary and Morgan.
• 2:23:16
  Speaker 4: I was in the apple barrel. I heard you and
• 2:23:18
  Speaker 4: Morgan in hands, all of you, and told every word
• 2:23:21
  Speaker 4: of it. And as for the Hispaniola, it was I
• 2:23:24
  Speaker 4: who cut her hawser. It was I who killed the
• 2:23:26
  Speaker 4: men you had aboard her.
• 2:23:28
  Speaker 13: You!
• 2:23:28
  Speaker 4: You! I killed them, I tell you, and I brought
• 2:23:31
  Speaker 4: that ship where you'll never see her more, not one
• 2:23:34
  Speaker 4: of you. Laughs on my side. I've had the top
• 2:23:37
  Speaker 4: of this business from the first, and I no more
• 2:23:39
  Speaker 4: fear you than I do a fly.
• 2:23:42
  Speaker 1: As the men threaten, but are held back by silver.
• 2:23:45
  Speaker 4: Kill me if you please, or spare me. But one
• 2:23:47
  Speaker 4: thing I'll say, if you spare me, bygones are bygones,
• 2:23:51
  Speaker 4: and when you fellows are in court for piracy, I'll
• 2:23:53
  Speaker 4: save you all I can. Kill me and do yourselves
• 2:23:56
  Speaker 4: no good, or spare me and keep a witness to
• 2:23:58
  Speaker 4: save you from the gallows.
• 2:24:00
  Speaker 1: The men, with the exception of Silver, are in a
• 2:24:03
  Speaker 1: little group whispering together. Silver stands and stares at Jim.
• 2:24:08
  Speaker 1: His manner has changed. He is no longer threatening, but
• 2:24:12
  Speaker 1: rather sly, as if feeling his way.
• 2:24:14
  Speaker 13: So, you cut the boat adrift?
• 2:24:18
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 2:24:18
  Speaker 13: And you know where it is, eh?
• 2:24:21
  Speaker 4: But I'm not going to tell.
• 2:24:22
  Speaker 20: That boy's not going to live.
• 2:24:26
  Speaker 14: Then by thunder here goes.
• 2:24:28
  Speaker 1: Morgan, with knife drawn, springs toward Jim, right center, but
• 2:24:32
  Speaker 1: Silver suddenly jumps in front of the boy and stands
• 2:24:35
  Speaker 1: between him and the men.
• 2:24:37
  Speaker 13: Avast there, Tom Morgan. Maybe you think you're captain here.
• 2:24:40
  Speaker 13: By the powers I'll teach you better. Have I lived
• 2:24:42
  Speaker 13: this many years, and a son of a rum-punching cock
• 2:24:44
  Speaker 13: has had to thwart my house at the latter end
• 2:24:46
  Speaker 13: of it? Well, I'm ready. Take a cutlass, him that dares,
• 2:24:50
  Speaker 13: and I'll see the color of his insides.
• 2:24:52
  Speaker 1: As the men all draw away in a group and
• 2:24:54
  Speaker 1: whisper together.
• 2:24:56
  Speaker 13: I'm cappin' here by election and because I'm the best
• 2:24:58
  Speaker 13: man by a long sea-mile. You won't fight, then by
• 2:25:01
  Speaker 13: thunder you'll obey. I like that boy. He's more man
• 2:25:04
  Speaker 13: than any pair of rats that you hear. And let
• 2:25:06
  Speaker 13: me see him that'll lay a hand on him.
• 2:25:08
  Speaker 1: During this part of the speech, the men have come
• 2:25:11
  Speaker 1: back with Mary at their head.
• 2:25:13
  Speaker 13: While you seem to have something to say, pipe up
• 2:25:15
  Speaker 13: and let me hear it.
• 2:25:16
  Speaker 3: Axe your pardon, sir. You're pretty free with some of
• 2:25:19
  Speaker 3: the rules. Maybe you'll kindly keep your eye on the rest.
• 2:25:22
  Speaker 13: Meanin' by that?
• 2:25:23
  Speaker 3: This crew's dissatisfied. This crew don't rally bullying a marlin spike.
• 2:25:28
  Speaker 3: This crew has rights, and by our own rules we
• 2:25:31
  Speaker 3: can talk together. I ask your pardon, sir, acknowledging you
• 2:25:34
  Speaker 3: as captain at this present, but I claim my right
• 2:25:37
  Speaker 3: and step inside for a counsel.
• 2:25:39
  Speaker 1: With an elaborate sea salute, he marches into the log house.
• 2:25:43
  Speaker 1: One after another, the rest followed his example, each making
• 2:25:47
  Speaker 1: a salute as he passed.
• 2:25:49
  Speaker 20: Crew's right.
• 2:25:51
  Speaker 1: Salutes and goes in.
• 2:25:53
  Speaker 11: According to rules.
• 2:25:54
  Speaker 1: Salutes and goes in.
• 2:25:57
  Speaker 14: Folks will counsel.
• 2:25:58
  Speaker 1: Salutes and goes in.
• 2:26:00
  Speaker 16: Aye, sir.
• 2:26:01
  Speaker 15: Folks will counsel.
• 2:26:04
  Speaker 1: Silver intensely and confidentially as soon as they're gone.
• 2:26:08
  Speaker 13: Jim, you're within half a plank of death.
• 2:26:11
  Speaker 1: Jim draws back at the idea of torture.
• 2:26:14
  Speaker 4: What are they going to do?
• 2:26:16
  Speaker 13: First they're going to tip me the black spot.
• 2:26:18
  Speaker 4: Same as Billy Bones.
• 2:26:20
  Speaker 5: Aye.
• 2:26:21
  Speaker 1: Takes Jim by the arm.
• 2:26:23
  Speaker 13: But I'm going to stand by you loud through thick
• 2:26:24
  Speaker 13: and thin.
• 2:26:25
  Speaker 2: What?
• 2:26:27
  Speaker 13: I'll confess I didn't mean to till you spoke up
• 2:26:29
  Speaker 13: and told about that ship. Once I looked into the
• 2:26:31
  Speaker 13: bay and see her gone, well, I'm tough, but I
• 2:26:34
  Speaker 13: gave out. Ship gone, net gone, that's about the size
• 2:26:36
  Speaker 13: of it.
• 2:26:37
  Speaker 1: Intensely to Jim.
• 2:26:39
  Speaker 13: Sure you've got her hidden?
• 2:26:40
  Speaker 4: I'll not tell where.
• 2:26:42
  Speaker 13: And I'm not going to ask, but you're sure she's safe? Yes, sure.
• 2:26:48
  Speaker 13: That being the case, why did the doctor give me that?
• 2:26:51
  Speaker 1: Draws out the chart surreptitiously.
• 2:26:54
  Speaker 5: What?
• 2:26:55
  Speaker 1: As Jim looks startled.
• 2:26:57
  Speaker 13: I look at it. Is that the right one?
• 2:26:59
  Speaker 5: Is it?
• 2:27:00
  Speaker 4: I don't know how you got this, what torture you
• 2:27:02
  Speaker 4: put them to, to make them give it to you,
• 2:27:04
  Speaker 4: but you'll never get that treasure.
• 2:27:05
  Speaker 11: Never.
• 2:27:07
  Speaker 5: Eh?
• 2:27:07
  Speaker 4: I've got that ship, and I've got her hidden, and
• 2:27:09
  Speaker 4: I am not going to tell you where she is,
• 2:27:11
  Speaker 4: no matter what you do.
• 2:27:13
  Speaker 5: Never.
• 2:27:13
  Speaker 9: Never.
• 2:27:14
  Speaker 4: You may get the treasure, but we've got the ship, Mr. Silver,
• 2:27:17
  Speaker 4: and we won't give her up.
• 2:27:18
  Speaker 13: I lad a proper spirit but just now i'm thinking
• 2:27:20
  Speaker 13: i'm your last card here and by the living thunder
• 2:27:22
  Speaker 13: you're mine i'll save your life so be i can
• 2:27:25
  Speaker 13: from them in there but tit for tat you save
• 2:27:28
  Speaker 13: long john when the time comes i'll do what i
• 2:27:31
  Speaker 13: can a bargain now understand i'm on the squire's side
• 2:27:34
  Speaker 13: and i know you've got that ship hidden.
• 2:27:36
  Speaker 1: As jim starts to protest there lad.
• 2:27:39
  Speaker 13: I'm not asking what I know when a game's up.
• 2:27:41
  Speaker 13: I do, and I know a lad that's staunch. Ah,
• 2:27:44
  Speaker 13: you that's young. You and me might have done a
• 2:27:45
  Speaker 13: power good together.
• 2:27:47
  Speaker 1: As the men reappear on the porch,'.
• 2:27:49
  Speaker 4: Here they come.
• 2:27:50
  Speaker 13: Stand up, Plucky, and by thunder I still have a
• 2:27:53
  Speaker 13: shot in my locker.
• 2:27:54
  Speaker 1: As the buccaneers hesitate to approach—'.
• 2:27:57
  Speaker 13: Well, step up, I won't eat you. Which has it, you, Mary?
• 2:28:01
  Speaker 1: Comes timidly forward.
• 2:28:03
  Speaker 3: Aye, sir.
• 2:28:04
  Speaker 13: Well, hand it over, lubber, I know the rules. I
• 2:28:06
  Speaker 13: won't hurt a deputation.
• 2:28:08
  Speaker 1: Mary hands Silver a piece of paper. Silver glances at
• 2:28:11
  Speaker 1: it and then hands it to Jim.
• 2:28:13
  Speaker 13: Jim, do you know what that is?
• 2:28:15
  Speaker 4: The black spot.
• 2:28:17
  Speaker 13: Right you was.
• 2:28:18
  Speaker 1: Looks over Jim's shoulder.
• 2:28:20
  Speaker 13: Hello, look here now, where would you say that was
• 2:28:22
  Speaker 13: cut from?
• 2:28:23
  Speaker 3: The Bible, sir.
• 2:28:24
  Speaker 4: See, it reads, without her dogs and murderers.
• 2:28:28
  Speaker 13: And very fitting, too. What fool's got a Bible? You, Mary?
• 2:28:31
  Speaker 8: Aye, aye, sir.
• 2:28:33
  Speaker 13: Well, no good'll come of it. You'll swing for it.
• 2:28:35
  Speaker 13: It ain't lucky.
• 2:28:37
  Speaker 3: Aye, aye, sir. Oh, ain't it? This crew has tipped
• 2:28:39
  Speaker 3: you the black spot in full counsel, as in duty bound.
• 2:28:43
  Speaker 3: Just you turn it over and see what's wrote there.
• 2:28:46
  Speaker 13: Thank you, George. You always was brisk for business. Well,
• 2:28:49
  Speaker 13: what is it?
• 2:28:50
  Speaker 1: Turns it over and reads— D-E-P-P-O-S-E-D.
• 2:28:55
  Speaker 13: Depth posed. And very prettily wrote, I swear.
• 2:28:58
  Speaker 3: Come, you don't fool this crew no more. You're over now.
• 2:29:01
  Speaker 13: Thought you said you knowed the rules.
• 2:29:03
  Speaker 5: Well?
• 2:29:04
  Speaker 13: Well, according to rules, I'm still your captain till you
• 2:29:06
  Speaker 13: out with your grievances and I reply.
• 2:29:07
  Speaker 3: All right, then. First and last, you made a hash
• 2:29:10
  Speaker 3: of this crew. And now, for some reason, you're holding
• 2:29:12
  Speaker 3: back that boy from us. You've bungled the whole thing.
• 2:29:16
  Speaker 13: Bungled, is it? You say bungled.
• 2:29:19
  Speaker 14: Aye, aye, bungled.
• 2:29:21
  Speaker 13: I by gum, if you could see how bad it's bungled.
• 2:29:23
  Speaker 13: We were that near to give it my next stiff
• 2:29:25
  Speaker 13: with thinking on it. And do you know all the
• 2:29:26
  Speaker 13: stands between us and to swing and sun-dry? That boy,
• 2:29:29
  Speaker 13: he might be our last chance. By thunder you've neither
• 2:29:32
  Speaker 13: senses nor memory. I let the squire and his friends go.
• 2:29:34
  Speaker 13: All right. And do you want to know why? Well,
• 2:29:37
  Speaker 13: that's why.
• 2:29:38
  Speaker 1: Takes out the map and throws it on the ground.
• 2:29:41
  Speaker 13: I got what I wanted. I got the map.
• 2:29:43
  Speaker 1: As the men pick up the map and look at it.
• 2:29:46
  Speaker 13: I look at it. Mull it over, you rum-punchins. Is
• 2:29:48
  Speaker 13: that the real one this time or not?
• 2:29:50
  Speaker 5: J.F.
• 2:29:51
  Speaker 14: And a score below.
• 2:29:52
  Speaker 3: With a close hitch in it.
• 2:29:54
  Speaker 20: Flint's fist.
• 2:29:56
  Speaker 1: Blood and bones, mate.
• 2:29:58
  Speaker 20: It's the map. We've got the map.
• 2:30:01
  Speaker 3: Long John. Long John Silver.
• 2:30:03
  Speaker 13: So that's your true word.
• 2:30:05
  Speaker 11: Captain Silver.
• 2:30:07
  Speaker 20: Captain Silver. Captain forever.
• 2:30:10
  Speaker 14: Come, mates. Picks and shovels.
• 2:30:13
  Speaker 11: I the treasure. Flint's treasure chest.
• 2:30:17
  Speaker 1: George Mary. As they get things.
• 2:30:20
  Speaker 3: Wait.
• 2:30:21
  Speaker 5: Well?
• 2:30:22
  Speaker 3: When we do find this money, how are we to
• 2:30:24
  Speaker 3: get it home in us no ship?
• 2:30:26
  Speaker 14: By the powers, that's right.
• 2:30:29
  Speaker 1: Arrow, appealing to Silver.
• 2:30:31
  Speaker 20: Long, John.
• 2:30:32
  Speaker 3: Aye, then tell us that, Silver, tell us that.
• 2:30:36
  Speaker 4: Aye, how, how?
• 2:30:39
  Speaker 13: By the powers, but you ain't got the invention of
• 2:30:41
  Speaker 13: a cockroach. You can't find a way to get that
• 2:30:43
  Speaker 13: money home.
• 2:30:44
  Speaker 11: Not you.
• 2:30:44
  Speaker 13: It's Silver, Silver. Well, then I tell you. There's your map,
• 2:30:48
  Speaker 13: and that's the way to Flint's treasure. Chest, picks, and
• 2:30:51
  Speaker 13: shovels it is. And once we find it, then by thunder,
• 2:30:53
  Speaker 13: if this lad doesn't lead us to that boat, I'll
• 2:30:55
  Speaker 13: cut his heart out.
• 2:30:56
  Speaker 9: That's right.
• 2:30:57
  Speaker 3: Kill him.
• 2:30:58
  Speaker 4: Long John.
• 2:31:00
  Speaker 1: Curtain. Act 4, Scene 2. The Spyglass Mountain, a heavily
• 2:31:06
  Speaker 1: wooded mountainside with trees and shrubs on all sides, and
• 2:31:10
  Speaker 1: a thick undergrowth terminating in a large tree at center
• 2:31:13
  Speaker 1: and up, the base which alone can be seen. In
• 2:31:17
  Speaker 1: front of this tree there is a small plateau, grown
• 2:31:20
  Speaker 1: up on every side with shrubs. At right among the shrubs,
• 2:31:24
  Speaker 1: and partly concealed by them, a skeleton, with hands over
• 2:31:28
  Speaker 1: its head, pointing to tree, and feet extended in opposite direction.
• 2:31:33
  Speaker 1: When the curtain rises, the pirates, with the exception of Dick,
• 2:31:37
  Speaker 1: are seen grouped around Silver and studying the map. Dick
• 2:31:41
  Speaker 1: sits upon a log, a little apart, his head in
• 2:31:44
  Speaker 1: his hands as if sick.
• 2:31:46
  Speaker 13: Read it out, Barbecue.
• 2:31:48
  Speaker 1: Silver reads from map.
• 2:31:51
  Speaker 13: Tall tree, spyglass shoulder, bearing a point to the north
• 2:31:54
  Speaker 13: of north-north-east. Skeleton island, east-southeast and by-east ten feet.
• 2:31:59
  Speaker 3: This is spyglass shoulder.
• 2:32:02
  Speaker 14: And plenty of big trees.
• 2:32:04
  Speaker 3: Enough for all of us and more.
• 2:32:06
  Speaker 20: He buried it well, Flint did, in a wicked spot.
• 2:32:11
  Speaker 1: Dick starts up.
• 2:32:13
  Speaker 11: Listen.
• 2:32:15
  Speaker 5: What?
• 2:32:16
  Speaker 11: That's the third time.
• 2:32:18
  Speaker 4: Eh?
• 2:32:18
  Speaker 14: Third time of what?
• 2:32:20
  Speaker 11: It sounds like someone crying.
• 2:32:23
  Speaker 13: It's a touch of the sun you've got, Dad.
• 2:32:25
  Speaker 1: Turns to study his map.
• 2:32:27
  Speaker 11: I tell you I heard it. Heard it clear.
• 2:32:31
  Speaker 1: Reading from the map.
• 2:32:32
  Speaker 13: Tall tree, spyglass shoulder, bearing a point to the north
• 2:32:35
  Speaker 13: of north-north-east.
• 2:32:37
  Speaker 1: Turns to the men.
• 2:32:39
  Speaker 13: Well, lads, here we are. Scatter and look. Try every tree.
• 2:32:42
  Speaker 13: Keep an eye for some sign. Scatter with you.
• 2:32:45
  Speaker 1: The men spread about the mountain, looking at different trees,
• 2:32:48
  Speaker 1: to Jim, who has seated himself.
• 2:32:50
  Speaker 13: Come, lad.
• 2:32:51
  Speaker 4: I'm tired, sir.
• 2:32:53
  Speaker 15: Come.
• 2:32:53
  Speaker 13: It's no time to be tired, lad. We're getting near
• 2:32:55
  Speaker 13: to the treasure chest. Keep a sharp watch for whatever happens.
• 2:32:59
  Speaker 1: Dick suddenly cries out.
• 2:33:01
  Speaker 11: There, there, there it is again.
• 2:33:04
  Speaker 1: Comes running up to Silver.
• 2:33:06
  Speaker 11: Don't you hear it? Don't you?
• 2:33:08
  Speaker 1: As Silver stares at him.
• 2:33:10
  Speaker 11: It isn't the sun. I did hear it, I tell you.
• 2:33:14
  Speaker 1: Silver, with meaning to Jim.
• 2:33:17
  Speaker 13: Jim, did you hear anything?
• 2:33:19
  Speaker 4: No, sir.
• 2:33:20
  Speaker 11: Nonetheless, I did hear it. I know I did.
• 2:33:23
  Speaker 1: As Silver turns away, suddenly Morgan, upon the hillside, gives
• 2:33:28
  Speaker 1: a shout.
• 2:33:29
  Speaker 11: There, you see?
• 2:33:31
  Speaker 13: What is it, Tom?
• 2:33:32
  Speaker 1: He and all the men rush to where stands Morgan,
• 2:33:35
  Speaker 1: who is regarding a skeleton he has found.
• 2:33:38
  Speaker 13: What is it?
• 2:33:39
  Speaker 14: Look there.
• 2:33:40
  Speaker 1: The men all look and then draw back.
• 2:33:42
  Speaker 3: By the powers, a skeleton!
• 2:33:44
  Speaker 11: I know I heard something.
• 2:33:48
  Speaker 20: Now, who do you think that might be?
• 2:33:51
  Speaker 1: Morgan bends over.
• 2:33:53
  Speaker 14: He was a seaman. Leastways, this is good sea cloth.
• 2:33:56
  Speaker 3: You wouldn't think to find a bishop here, I reckon.
• 2:34:00
  Speaker 1: Silver, who has been studying the skeleton.
• 2:34:03
  Speaker 13: Aye, but what sort of a way is that for
• 2:34:04
  Speaker 13: bones to lie?
• 2:34:06
  Speaker 14: Hands pointing one way, feet to the other.
• 2:34:08
  Speaker 3: Like a blessed diver he is.
• 2:34:11
  Speaker 1: Taintin' nature.
• 2:34:12
  Speaker 14: It ain't not a fact.
• 2:34:14
  Speaker 13: Lads, I'm thinkin' if this could be one of Flint's
• 2:34:15
  Speaker 13: jokes now. Six came ashore when he buried the treasure.
• 2:34:20
  Speaker 13: None came back.
• 2:34:21
  Speaker 1: Could this fellow be one of them now?
• 2:34:25
  Speaker 13: Long bones and hair's been yellow.
• 2:34:27
  Speaker 11: Allardize.
• 2:34:28
  Speaker 13: Aye, that might be Allardize. You mind him, Mary?
• 2:34:31
  Speaker 3: Aye, that I do. He owed me money, he did,
• 2:34:34
  Speaker 3: and took my knife ashore with him.
• 2:34:36
  Speaker 14: Well, there's little enough about him now. Not a thing left.
• 2:34:38
  Speaker 14: Not a copper doit nor a backy box.
• 2:34:40
  Speaker 3: That's queer. Flint weren't a man to pick a seaman's pocket.
• 2:34:43
  Speaker 13: By thunder, that's right.
• 2:34:45
  Speaker 3: Don't look natural to me.
• 2:34:47
  Speaker 13: No, by gum it don't. Not natural and not nice.
• 2:34:50
  Speaker 13: Great guns, messmates. But if Flint was living now, this
• 2:34:53
  Speaker 13: would be a hot spot for you and me. Six
• 2:34:55
  Speaker 13: they were and six are we, and bones is what
• 2:34:56
  Speaker 13: they are now.
• 2:34:58
  Speaker 1: Dick starts up. There.
• 2:35:01
  Speaker 4: There it is again.
• 2:35:01
  Speaker 13: Avast there, Dick. Flint's dead.
• 2:35:04
  Speaker 3: Aye, I saw him with these here deadlights, Billy Bones
• 2:35:07
  Speaker 3: took me in, and there he lay with penny-pieces in
• 2:35:10
  Speaker 3: his eyes.
• 2:35:12
  Speaker 11: Aye, but if ever Sparrow walked, it would be Flint's.
• 2:35:16
  Speaker 3: Dear heart, but he died hard.
• 2:35:18
  Speaker 14: Rage and hollered from rum and sang fifteen men.
• 2:35:21
  Speaker 3: It was main hot, and the windy was open, and
• 2:35:23
  Speaker 3: I hear that old song coming out as clear as clear,
• 2:35:25
  Speaker 3: and the death-howl on the man already.
• 2:35:28
  Speaker 13: Come, stow that talk. Flint's dead, and he won't walk.
• 2:35:31
  Speaker 9: He's wise, who can say that?
• 2:35:33
  Speaker 13: As for this fellow here.
• 2:35:34
  Speaker 1: Points to skeleton.
• 2:35:36
  Speaker 13: I've taken a notion in my old numbskull. Flint hauled
• 2:35:39
  Speaker 13: him here and laid him down by compass.
• 2:35:41
  Speaker 14: What for?
• 2:35:42
  Speaker 13: For a pinter.
• 2:35:43
  Speaker 5: What?
• 2:35:44
  Speaker 1: There is general excitement among the men. Silver to Morgan,
• 2:35:48
  Speaker 1: to whom he hands compass.
• 2:35:50
  Speaker 13: Tom, here's the compass. Just take a bearing along the
• 2:35:52
  Speaker 13: lines of them bones. I'm thinking maybe them the signs
• 2:35:55
  Speaker 13: we're looking for, mates.
• 2:35:57
  Speaker 8: Well?
• 2:35:58
  Speaker 1: While the men wait eagerly.
• 2:36:01
  Speaker 14: East, southeast, and by east.
• 2:36:03
  Speaker 1: Silver reads from map and the.
• 2:36:06
  Speaker 13: Chart reads east southeast and by east it's one of
• 2:36:09
  Speaker 13: flint's jokes and no mistake there's our way lads to
• 2:36:11
  Speaker 13: flint's treasure up with you men up with you.
• 2:36:14
  Speaker 1: The men with cries start up dick suddenly wait wait
• 2:36:20
  Speaker 1: the men turn angrily you must hear it now you
• 2:36:23
  Speaker 1: must from the distance and in a weird voice there
• 2:36:27
  Speaker 1: is heard.
• 2:36:28
  Speaker 5: Fifty men on a dead man's chest, yo-ho-ho, and a
• 2:36:33
  Speaker 5: bottle of rum.
• 2:36:36
  Speaker 1: There is sudden consternation among the pirates as they stop, stunned.
• 2:36:40
  Speaker 3: Flint's voice.
• 2:36:42
  Speaker 14: I and his song.
• 2:36:44
  Speaker 11: I told you I heard it. I told you.
• 2:36:47
  Speaker 3: He were an ugly devil, were Flint, and that blew
• 2:36:49
  Speaker 3: in the face.
• 2:36:50
  Speaker 14: Blew, that's the word.
• 2:36:52
  Speaker 20: That was how the rum took him.
• 2:36:55
  Speaker 1: Silver, suddenly recovering.
• 2:36:57
  Speaker 13: Come, come, this won't do. Stand by to go about.
• 2:37:00
  Speaker 3: No, no long, John.
• 2:37:03
  Speaker 13: This is only someone skylarking, someone that's flesh and blood.
• 2:37:06
  Speaker 14: It was Flynn's way of singing.
• 2:37:08
  Speaker 3: Aye, and his tones, I'll swear to that.
• 2:37:10
  Speaker 13: I tell you it's flesh and blood, and I'll prove
• 2:37:12
  Speaker 13: it to you. I'm going up there. Those of you
• 2:37:14
  Speaker 13: who are not white-livered rats will come after me.
• 2:37:17
  Speaker 1: He starts up the mountain, and the others begin timidly
• 2:37:19
  Speaker 1: to follow.
• 2:37:21
  Speaker 4: Stop, oh, stop.
• 2:37:23
  Speaker 13: Now buy the power stick another word, and I'll run
• 2:37:25
  Speaker 13: you through.
• 2:37:25
  Speaker 2: Listen.
• 2:37:28
  Speaker 1: In terror, they all stop, and there comes from the
• 2:37:30
  Speaker 1: distance a wailing voice.
• 2:37:33
  Speaker 5: Darby McGraw! Darby McGraw! Darby McGraw!
• 2:37:39
  Speaker 3: Listen to that.
• 2:37:41
  Speaker 8: Aye.
• 2:37:41
  Speaker 5: Pitch off the room, Darby McGraw!
• 2:37:46
  Speaker 3: That fixes it. They was his last words.
• 2:37:49
  Speaker 13: No one on this island ever heard of Darby but
• 2:37:51
  Speaker 13: us here.
• 2:37:52
  Speaker 3: It's Flint, mates. I'm going back. Belay there.
• 2:37:55
  Speaker 13: I never feared Flint alive, and by the powers I'll
• 2:37:57
  Speaker 13: face him dead.
• 2:37:58
  Speaker 3: Belay there, John. Don't you cross the spirit.
• 2:38:01
  Speaker 15: Spirit?
• 2:38:02
  Speaker 13: Well, maybe. While you were in punching, if you'd listened,
• 2:38:04
  Speaker 13: you'd have noticed the echo.
• 2:38:06
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 2:38:07
  Speaker 13: Well, no man has ever seen a spirit with a shadow. Well, then,
• 2:38:10
  Speaker 13: what's he doing with an echo to him, eh? And
• 2:38:12
  Speaker 13: as for that voice, it may be like French, but
• 2:38:13
  Speaker 13: it's a deal more like another's.
• 2:38:15
  Speaker 8: Whose?
• 2:38:16
  Speaker 13: Ben Gunn's.
• 2:38:17
  Speaker 3: By the powers it is.
• 2:38:19
  Speaker 4: Ben Gunn?
• 2:38:21
  Speaker 13: Aye, Ben Gunn, that's who it is.
• 2:38:23
  Speaker 11: But Ben Gunn ain't alive, anyone, Flint.
• 2:38:26
  Speaker 3: Sure, nobody minds Ben Gunn, dead or alive.
• 2:38:30
  Speaker 11: Let's turn back, Silver.
• 2:38:32
  Speaker 13: Aye, back it is. No by thunder, no. I'm here
• 2:38:35
  Speaker 13: to get that stuff, and I'll not be beat of
• 2:38:37
  Speaker 13: man or double. There's seven hundred thousand pounds up there,
• 2:38:40
  Speaker 13: and when did every gentleman of fortune show his stern
• 2:38:42
  Speaker 13: to that much, and poor boozy old seaman and him dead?
• 2:38:45
  Speaker 13: So up with you. Here's our line for the Polestar
• 2:38:46
  Speaker 13: and the Jolly Dollars.
• 2:38:48
  Speaker 1: By this time he has reached the plateau. The minute
• 2:38:51
  Speaker 1: he sees it, he draws back.
• 2:38:53
  Speaker 13: Come on with you.
• 2:38:55
  Speaker 1: With a shout, the men all go up and shout
• 2:38:57
  Speaker 1: through following.
• 2:38:59

  Speaker 1: the men rush to him.

  Speaker 13: Dig away.
• 2:39:18
  Speaker 14: Not a thing. Not a coin.
• 2:39:21
  Speaker 13: And do you think you'd find it on the top?
• 2:39:23
  Speaker 13: No dig, I tell you.
• 2:39:24
  Speaker 9: Dig.
• 2:39:26
  Speaker 14: A two-guinea piece.
• 2:39:27
  Speaker 13: Ah, what did I say? Flint buried it deep. You'll
• 2:39:29
  Speaker 13: find it.
• 2:39:30
  Speaker 20: A board with Walrus written on it.
• 2:39:34
  Speaker 13: Flint's ship. You're getting close to it now. Seven hundred
• 2:39:36
  Speaker 13: thousand pounds. Think of that, lads. Fortunes for all of us.

  Speaker 11: Beaten. Tricked.
• 2:39:55
  Speaker 3: Aye, lad's tricked, and it's that old cripple there has

• 2:40:03
  Speaker 13: the five.
