Here in the Chapter 4 of
Treasure Island Jim, a character of the story who seems to be on the positive
side tells his mother all about the captain’s last words. Then his mother and
he decides to head to town for seeking help. But they are shocked to see that
no one is ready to help them and thus none are willing to visit as all are
afraid by hearing the name of Captain Flint. After a lot of argument they’re
ready to go just to Doctor Livesey’s to inform him about what happened. This
scene realises that the Captain might be a rowdy. Jim’s mother then shouts at
them saying that they are all cowards and then shows her intention to go back
to inn and then promises herself to help in his lodgings.
After hearings those words
from neighbours, Jim and his mother then creeps towards the parlour of the inn
into the place where they have left the dead body of Captain. This scene here
says that whatever be the situation Jim and his mother are always kind with
other people. Jim then there finds a blackened paper in which it was told that
the Captain has just that night. Jim then watches his clock and knows it has
rung just six. Then Jim searches the chest and finds a key hanging around the
dead Captain’s neck. Jim’s mother then unlocks his chest and then they again
finds a bunch of random things like clothes, a compass, a few trinkets and
coins from different parts of the world. Jim’s mother then starts counting the
coins and thinks how much she needed. But then just Jim hears the tapping of
the blind man’s stick outside, which approaches near them and just fades away.
Jim’s mother is then afraid
but still she doesn’t stop counting the coins as she just wanted to take as
much she needed and not all. This shows that Jim’s mother is courageous woman
who doesn’t dare to work for the welfare of her family. Then they suddenly hears
a low whistle and thinking it is getting risky they decide to leave. Jim’s
mother takes what she has and Jim too takes that bunch of papers. They both
then heads towards downstairs and out to the back door. They there see a
lantern and hear approaching footsteps. Jim mother asks Jim to take what she
has as she is going to faint but Jim realises that they are going to be
murdered and success themselves in hiding from sight underneath a bridge.
