<P> An old sailor , calling himself `` the captain '' -- real name Billy Bones -- comes to lodge at the Admiral Benbow Inn on the west English coast during the mid-18th - century , paying the innkeeper 's son , Jim Hawkins , a few pennies to keep a lookout for a one - legged `` seafaring man '' . A seaman with intact legs , but lacking two fingers , shows up to confront Billy about sharing his treasure map . After running the stranger off in a violent fight , Billy , who drinks far too much rum , has a stroke and tells Jim that his former shipmates covet the contents of his sea chest . After a visit from an evil blind man named Pew who gives him `` the black spot '' as a summons to share the treasure , Billy has another stroke and dies ; Jim and his mother ( his father has also died just a few days before ) unlock the sea chest , finding some money , a journal , and a map . The local physician , Dr. Livesey and the district squire , Trelawney , deduce that the map is of the island where a deceased pirate , Captain Flint buried his treasure . Squire Trelawney proposes buying a ship and going after the treasure , taking Livesey as ship 's doctor and Jim as cabin boy . </P>
