Israel Hands and O’Brien are the only two pirates on board the Hispaniola when Jim cuts it adrift from the anchor. Jim finds Israel Hands badly wounded after a fight with O’Brien. Hands has killed O’Brien, but he needs Jim’s help to beach the ship safely on the north side of the island.

Money in Spain was based on a system of reales (pronounced re-al-es’). In 1537 the Spanish escudo gold coin was introduced, which was worth 16 reales. The later Gold Doubloon was worth 32 reales or 2 escudos. It is this divisibility into 8 which caused the silver coins to be named “pieces of eight”.

The real treasure has never been found, despite more than 300 expeditions to the island. Stevenson mentions the buried treasure and Captain Thompson in an 1881 letter to W. E. Henley, where he also provides the earliest known title for the book: “The Sea Cook, or Treasure Island: a Story for Boys”.

Rick Lagina is single and was never married. There have been rumors floating around on the web that Rick could be gay, but we have nothing to validate this claim, which is presented with no evidence and on a hearsay basis (you know how cruel rumors are to celebrities).

Robinson Crusoe

Crusoe learned a few of his native words that have been found in a Spanish-Térraba (or Teribe) dictionary, so Friday may have belonged to that tribe, also called the Naso people. Friday is cannibalistic as well and suggests eating the men Crusoe has killed.

Overall, Crusoe’s virtues tend to be private: his industry, resourcefulness, and solitary courage make him an exemplary individual. But his vices are social, and his urge to subjugate others is highly objectionable.

When Crusoe escapes with two other slaves in a boat, he forces one to swim to shore but keeps Xury on board, showing a certain trust toward the boy. Xury never betrays that trust. Nevertheless, when the Portuguese captain eventually picks them up, Crusoe sells Xury to the captain.

Crusoe and Xury have nothing with which to repay their kindness, but at that moment two creatures chase one another on to the shore and Crusoe kills one of them, a leopard. The native Africans take the leopard for meat and give Crusoe its skin.

Why is Friday excited when he sees the cannibals’ captive in the boat? The captive is Friday’s father.

When it was time to go for water, Xury volunteered to go so that if wild men came, they would eat Xury and thus Crusoe could escape. Soon, however, Xury returned carrying fresh water and a newly killed animal that resembled a large hare, which they ate with gusto. Xury then went to it and finished killing it.

His father maintained that the “middle station had the fewest disasters and was not exposed to so many vicissitudes as the higher or lower part of mankind.” After his father expressly forbade him to go to sea, and, furthermore, promised to do good things for him if he stayed home, for another whole year, Robinson …

When Crusoe woke up, he found the weather clear and the storm over. The ship had been carried by the tide almost to the shore. He then searched and found ammunition and guns for his use, and then made use of the rising tide to navigate back to the shore with his cache.

Finally Crusoe makes it to shore, where he immediately prays to God in gratitude. He never sees a sign of another living crewmember. After drinking some fresh water and finding a tree in which to sleep, Crusoe spends his first night on the island.

By Daniel Defoe At the end of the novel, Crusoe returns to Europe, where he comes into a great deal of money from his sugar plantations. He then gets married, has children, and eventually revisits his island.
