The Gloomy Anchorage
Loading image...
The Hispaniola rolls in the ocean swell, anchored off the coast of Treasure Island. The heat is sweltering, and a smell of rotting leaves hangs in the stagnant air. The crew is grumbling, and mutiny hangs over the ship like a thundercloud.
Captain Smollett knows that to keep the peace, he must let the angry sailors go ashore for the afternoon. Long John Silver, the ship's cook and secret ringleader of the pirates, organizes the boats.
As the men prepare to leave, a mad idea seizes you. You feel you must see what they are up to on the island.
