Chapter 21 & 22 — Treasure Island
While going through the possessions of a deceased guest who owed them money, the mistress of an inn and her son, young Jim Hawkins, find a treasure map that leads to a pirate’s fortune. Jim becomes part of a voyage to find the rich booty. Jim doesn’t suspect that roguish shipmate, and supposed friend, Long John Silver, is actually a pirate intent on grabbing the treasure. A swashbuckling tale of piracy and adventure on the high seas!
Chapters 21 & 22, in which the log house comes under attack, and Jim takes an ill-advised “french leave” from his comrades in search of Ben Gunn’s boat.
