From the very beginning of the story, the author of the novel leaves the reader

hoping for new adventures: the main character Jim Hawkins tells the neighbors in
detail about the events, but the location of the island is hidden, where the untapped
treasures are still stored.
Events begin to unfold with the appearance of the old "sea dog" in the inn
"Admiral Benbow", where he settled with the parents of the protagonist Jim Hawkins.
No one knows his name, only that he is a captain in the past, and even with a strong
temper.
I remember him as if it were yesterday, as he came plodding to the inn door, his
sea-chest following behind him in a hand-barrow—a tall, strong, heavy, nut-brown
man, his tarry pigtail falling over the shoulder of his soiled blue coat, his hands
ragged and scarred, with black, broken nails, and the sabre cut across one cheek, a
dirty, livid white. I remember him looking round the cover and whistling to himself
as he did so, and then breaking out in that old sea-song that he sang so often
afterwards:
"Fifteen men on the dead man's chest—
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!"

The captain was so terrified by the idea of the seafaring man with one leg. The
captain also involved young Jim Hawkins.
Visitors to the cove admired the captain's stories, which take your breath away.
Dreadful stories they were—about hanging, and walking the plank, and storms at sea,
and the Dry Tortugas, and wild deeds and places on the Spanish Main.
The captain did not want to pay for the accommodation, Jim's parents were
afraid to evict him from the apartment.

 the doctor said if the captain would continue to misbehave then he would be
punished
