In this chapter, Jim runs away.
The island is revealed to be very uniform and sad. When the men go to the island, they seem to be more lax. Jim finds this a bad sign because until then they had gone willingly about their business. When they arrive there, the island is quiet. While on the island, the men seem to want to mutiny. However, Long John Silver is going along as normal. Later they have a council in the cabin where the captain explains if they try to order the men anymore, the men would rebel. They decide to let the men spend the afternoon ashore. All of the men agreed. It suddenly occurred to Jim that he should go ashore also. When he got to shore, he ran off into the night.
