TREASURE ISLAND 008 – IVThe Sea-chest – 002

Bare-headed as we were, we ran out at once in the gathering evening and the frosty fog.

The hamlet lay not many hundred yards away, though out of view, on the other side of the next cove; and what greatly encouraged me, it was in an opposite direction from that whence the blind man had made his appearance and whither he had presumably returned.
We were not many minutes on the road, though we sometimes stopped to lay hold of each other and hearken.
But there was no unusual sound—nothing but the low wash of the ripple and the croaking of the inmates of the wood.

It was already candle-light when we reached the hamlet, and I shall never forget how much I was cheered to see the yellow shine in doors and windows; but that, as it proved, was the best of the help we were likely to get in that quarter.
For—you would have thought men would have been ashamed of themselves—no soul would consent to return with us to the Admiral Benbow.
The more we told of our troubles, the more—man, woman, and child—they clung to the shelter of their houses.
