Treasure Island Ch. 1

This chapter is mostly about how:

• A. the narrators father becomes deathly ill
• the captain spends his time at the inn
• Dr. Livesey threatens to have the captain arrested
• the captain doesn't pay the money he owes

The captain tells the narrator to:

• carry his sea chest to his room
• heat his rum in a silver cup
• give a secret message to Dr. Livesey
• watch out for a one-legged seaman

You can tell from that chapter that the captain:

• is an old friend of Dr. Livesey's
• is really a soldier in disguise
• believes someone is looking for him
• believes the inn is haunted

The captain was a "real old salt." This means he:

• was a true seagoing man
• use to be a cook
• never set foot on a ship in his life
• was not a drinking man

After Dr. Livesey warns the captain to behave himself, the captain probably feels:

• timid
• angry
• happy
• brave

How did the other visitors in the inn feel about the captain?

• they ignored him
• they loved him like a father
• they were frightened of him
• they thought he was funny and harmless
