Jim arrives in Bristol looking for a Mr Silver who will show him to the Squire's ship, the Hispaniola.
3. Long John Silver and the 'Hispaniola'
Three weeks later Jim arrives in Bristol, with a note to find a Mr Silver who will show him to the Squire's ship.
He finds Silver - Long John Silver - down by the docks. Silver has just one leg.
Silver rows Jim out to the Hispaniola, where the Squire is already waiting on board.
Jim meets Captain Smollett and the other crew members - apparently all hand-picked by Long John Silver himself.
