About this resource
Read Chapter I from the captain’s arrival at the Admiral Benbow to his request that Jim watch for a seafaring man with one leg. His forceful manner suggests authority, but his interest in passing sailors also reveals anxiety. Trace how Jim revises the first explanation of this behaviour. Separate what the scene shows from what readers can only suspect.
