DR.
LIVESEY. The doctor dressed neatly with a powdered wig "as
white as snow." He was well-mannered with "bright, black eyes" and regularly smokes a
pipe. He is apparently more youthful than the squire of Captain Smollett, and is
athletic, highly intelligent and a competent
doctor.
SQUIRE TRELAWNEY. The
wealthy squire was tall, better than six feet tall, and somewhat heavy. He had black
eyebrows and a red, "rough-and-ready" face well-lined from his age and travels. Like the
doctor, he also smokes a pipe.
LONG JOHN
SILVER. The colorful Silver was one-legged, using a crutch for his
missing left leg, on which he hopped about "like a bird." Jim describes Silver as "very
tall and strong," with a pale, plain face "as big as a ham." He nearly always smiled,
and he whistled often; while at the inn, he was clean and even-tempered. On board the
ship, he often had a parrot, Cap'n Flint, on his
shoulder.
CAPTAIN SMOLLETT.
There is little description of the Captain, who Jim calls "smart-looking" and "angry
with everything on board."
JIM
HAWKINS. As the narrator, Jim gives little or no description of himself.
We know he is a young boy, smaller than all of the men on board. He proves to be strong
and athletic enough to defend himself from the murderous pirate aboard the
ship.
