Billy Bones

• New suit (silk lined, never worn).
• Quadrant (an ancient navigational instrument for measuring the altitude of celestial bodies).
• Two pairs of elegant pistols.
• Two compasses in a copper frame.
• Antique Spanish clock.
• Tin mug (or box).

Various small items and valuables

• Several pieces (tiles) of tobacco.
• Silver ingot.
• A few foreign trinkets.
• Five or six West Indian shells.

The most important thing is at the bottom of the chest

• An old boat cloak, whitened by sea salt.
• A package wrapped in oilcloth - it contained the famous map of Treasure Island and the ship's documents of Captain Flint.
• A canvas bag of gold (various coins, including piastres and doubloons), from which Jim Hawkinske's mother took only the money the deceased pirate owed her for lodging

The cat looks like an exact copy of his owner - he is just as sullen, battered by life, suspicious, wears an eye patch, a gray cat and always walks with his owner

• Bad and bossy disposition: He is rude, harsh and used to commanding, reminding everyone around him of his pirate past.
• Drunkenness and debauchery: He constantly drinks rum, which is why the locals and the innkeeper simply call him “the captain.”
• Paranoia and Fear: Due to his possession of the Treasure Island map and his past in Flint's gang, he lives in constant fear of being pursued. He is terrified of his former accomplices (such as Blind Pew and John Silver).
• Gloominess and isolation: Having settled in the Admiral Benbow tavern, he behaves like a hermit, frightening the guests with scary stories, songs and blows of his saber on the table, but does not go anywhere.
• Physical weakness against the backdrop of courage: Despite his menacing appearance and outbursts of aggression, his health, undermined by alcohol, leads him to an apoplectic fit (stroke) after receiving a “black mark”

Billy Bones' clothing is described as follows:
• Blue caftan: He wore a greasy and tattered blue caftan, under the wide hem of which a dagger swayed.
• Shutuk: Jim Hawkins mentions the captain's old shutuk, which he tried to patch up himself while sitting upstairs in his room.
• Hat: He had a hat with the brim slanted back on his head; the buckle had come off and one of the lapels was drooping, but Billy Bones never mended it, even when the wind blew hard.
• Stockings: He hardly changed his clothes, he only bought new pairs of stockings from peddlers.
• Hairstyle and accessories: A tarred braid stuck out above the collar of his caftan, and he always carried a telescope under his arm.
• eyes are black-brown with a grayish tint.
• there is a longitudinal scar on the right side of the face.
• has a beard and stubble of brown color with strands of gray hair.
• The hair is brown, unkempt, but fluffy and thick, in braids like dreadlocks in the front, and loose and long in the back, just below the shoulders, and the braids are decorated with beads and other ribbons and other decorations. The face is wrinkled and has white remnants of scars.
• has a gold ring-shaped earring on his right ear (large in size)

• The Admiral Benbow Inn: Young Jim Hawkins lives in 18th-century England and helps his parents run an inn. A grumpy old sailor, Billy Bones, a former navigator of the pirate captain Flint, takes up residence there.
• Black Spot and Map: Bones's former accomplices (the blind pirate Pew and others) come to him and give him the "black spot" (a pirate warning or death sentence), after which Bones dies from a stroke. In his chest, Jim and his mother find money and the treasured map of the island, on which Captain Flint marked the location of his treasure.• Crew: Jim passes the map to his acquaintances - the wealthy Squire Trelawney and Dr. Livesey. They equip the ship "Hispaniola".
• Hidden Menace: The Squire naively hires a crew, most of which are hidden pirates from the gang of the late Flint. Chief among them is the one-legged cook John Silver - a cunning and charismatic villain. The ship's captain is appointed a strict professional - Captain Smollett. • Mutiny: When the Hispaniola arrives at Treasure Island, John Silver and the pirates start a mutiny.
• Fight for Survival: Jim overhears the pirates' plans and warns Captain Smollett, Dr. Livesey, and their loyal sailors. They abandon ship and fortify themselves in an abandoned fort on the island.
• Ben Gunn: On the island, Jim meets Ben Gunn, a former pirate whose comrades abandoned him on a deserted shore many years ago. It turns out that Ben Gunn had already found Flint's treasure and hid it in his cave. • Defeat of the Pirates: Dr. Livesey, Jim, and their allies, along with Ben Gunn, fight off pirate attacks, take the treasure to Gunn's cave, and load the gold onto the Hispaniola. Finale: The expedition sets off back to England. John Silver manages to escape along the way at one of the ports with part of the gold, several mutineers are left on the island, and Jim Hawkins returns home with a decent share of the treasure, having given up on sea adventures forever.

He lived a solitary life, drank heavily, sang pirate songs when drunk, and became rowdy. Of those around him, he trusted only Jim Hawkins, who recognized in the bulky, loud-mouthed drunk the once-glorious and charismatic adventurer. After threats and assassination attempts from old friends (visitors included Black Dog and Blind Pew), culminating in him being given the "black spot," he died of a stroke brought on by nervous strain and chronic alcoholism. Jim Hawkins received the map, which served as the plot for the novel.

• Role in the pirate hierarchy: First mate (navigator) and confidant of the formidable pirate Captain Flint.
• Appearance: A heavyset, heavyset sailor with a saber scar on his cheek. He was known for demanding that those around him simply call him "Captain."
• Character and habits: He had an extremely nasty, harsh character, was “heavy-handed and quick to punish.” He abused rum and suffered from colds almost constantly.
