Treasure Island

 Book Summary 

An old mariner, calling himself "the chief" yet truly called Billy Bones, comes to stop at the Admiral Benbow Inn on the English coast during the mid 1700s, paying the owner's child, Jim Hawkins, a couple pennies to watch out for "nautical men." One of these appears, alarming Billy (who drinks to an extreme degree an excess of rum) into a stroke, and Billy reveals to Jim that his previous shipmates want the substance of his ocean chest. After a visit from another man, Billy has another stroke and kicks the bucket; Jim and his mom (his dad has passed on a couple of days prior) open the ocean chest, discovering some cash, a diary, and a guide. The nearby doctor, Dr. Livesey, concludes that the guide is of an island where the privateer Flint covered an immense fortune. The area assistant, Trelawney, proposes purchasing a boat and pursuing the fortune, accepting Livesey as boat's PCP and Jim as lodge kid. 

A little while later, Trelawney sends for Jim and Livesey and acquaints them with Long John Silver, a Bristol bar manager whom he has recruited as boat's cook. They likewise meet Captain Smollett, who discloses to them that he doesn't care for the group or the journey, which it appears everybody in Bristol knows is a quest for treasure. In the wake of avoiding potential risk, be that as it may, they set forth for the far off island. During the journey the primary mate, a boozer, vanishes over the edge. Furthermore, not long before the island is located, Jim catches Silver conversing with two different crew members and understands that he and the greater part of the others are privateers and have arranged an uprising. Jim tells the chief, Trelawney, and Livesey, and they ascertain that they will be seven to nineteen against the double-crossers and should claim not to speculate anything until the fortune is discovered, when they can amaze their enemies. 

In any case, after the boat is secured, Silver and a portion of the others go aground, and two men who will not join the rebellion are killed — one with so uproarious a shout that everybody acknowledges there can be no more affectation. Jim has hastily joined the shore gathering, and presently in fleeing from them he experiences a half-insane Englishman, Ben Gunn, who reveals to him he was marooned here and can help against the double-crossers as a trade-off for entry home and part of the fortune. 

In the mean time Smollett, Trelawney, and Livesey, alongside Trelawney's three workers and one of different hands, Abraham Gray, leave the boat and come aground to involve a barricade. The men still on the boat, driven by the coxswain Israel Hands, run up the privateer banner. One of Trelawney's workers and one of the privateers are killed in the battle to arrive at the barricade, and the boat's firearm keeps up a torrent upon them, with no impact, until dim, when Jim discovers the barricade and goes along with them. The following morning Silver shows up under a banner of détente, offering terms that Captain Smollett rejects, and uncovering that another privateer has been killed in the evening (by Ben Gunn, Jim acknowledges, albeit Silver doesn't). At Smollett's refusal to give up the guide, Silver compromises an assault, and, inside a brief time, the assault on the barricade is dispatched. After a fight, the enduring rebels retreat, having lost six men, yet two a greater amount of the chief's gathering have been killed and Smollett himself is severely injured. 

At the point when Livesey leaves looking for Ben Gunn, Jim flees without consent and tracks down Gunn's custom made boat. Into the evening, he goes out and cuts the boat hapless. The two privateers ready, Hands and O'Brien, intrude on their intoxicated squabble to run at hand, yet the boat — with Jim's boat afterward — is cleared out to the ocean on the ebb tide. Depleted, Jim nods off in the boat and arouses the following morning, bouncing along on the west shoreline of the island, conveyed by a northerly current. Ultimately, he experiences the boat, which appears to be abandoned, yet jumping aboard, he discovers O'Brien dead and Hands severely injured. He and Hands concur that they will sea shore the boat at a channel on the northern bank of the island. In any case, as the boat is at last stranded, Hands endeavors to kill Jim, and Jim shoots and kills him. Then, at that point, subsequent to getting the boat also as he can, he returns aground and sets out toward the barricade. Once there, in absolute haziness, he enters the brick house — to be welcomed by Silver and the leftover five rebels, who have by one way or another assumed control over the barricade in his nonattendance. 

Silver and the others quarrel over whether to kill Jim, and Silver discussions them down. He reveals to Jim that, when everybody discovered the boat was gone, the skipper's gathering consented to a deal whereby they surrendered the barricade and the guide. Toward the beginning of the day Dr. Livesey shows up to treat the injured and wiped out privateers, and advises Silver to pay special mind to inconvenience when they discover the site of the fortune. After he leaves, Silver and the others set out with the guide, taking Jim along. Ultimately they discover the fortune reserve — void. Two of the privateers charge at Silver and Jim, however are shot somewhere around Livesey, Gray, and Ben Gunn, from snare. The other three flee, and Livesey clarifies that Gunn has quite a while in the past discovered the fortune and taken it to his cavern. 

In the following not many days they load the fortune onto the boat, leave the three leftover double-crossers (with provisions and ammo) and sail away. At their first port, where they will sign on more team, Silver takes a pack of cash and escapes. The rest sail back to Bristol and split the fortune. Jim says there is all the more left on the island, however he for one won't attempt another journey to recuperate it
