From Captain Flint, the parrot.

He says that he is too free and easy with the rest of the crew.
Why does CS ask that the powder and guns be put under the Captain's cabin, instead of in the forehold, where the crew has its quarters?

Jim hides in it and hears LJS planning a mutiny.
What does LJS tell Israel Hands concerning CS?
He tells him to do everything the captain says until LJS gives the word to start the mutiny.

What is particular about the map that CS shows the crew?
It's an accurate copy of the map, but it's not the real one.
Why is LJS so very sure of himself?
He doesn't realize that when Jim was in the apple barrel, he overheard everything he said.
The captain suddenly announces that he will serve a grog of rum to all the crew. Why?
Because he wants to have an excuse to go to the captain's quarters to hear Jim's bad news.
Why is ST especially disappointed about Israel Hands?
