It was about half past three- three bells in sea phrase- that the two bpoats went ashore from the hispaniola. The captian, the squire, and I were talking amtters over in the cabin. Had there been a breath of wind, we should have fallen on the six mutineers who were left abroad with us, slipped our cable, and away to sea. But the wind was wanting; and to complete our helplessness, down came Hunter with the news that Jim hawkins had slipped into a boat and was gone ashore with the rest.p.95
i chose this passage because it described the boat leaving from the land. This is the passage when they told the captain that a few from the ship ended up in the water. I thought this was a moving passage to the story thats why i chose it.

This passage shows what can happen when you live a life at sea. Bad weather can destroy a ship and kill the people aboard. This is showing that nothing is perfect and theres always danger around.
