Jim Hawkins is sleeping of a very drunken night after some of the younger crew found a bottle of rum.
Jim has not had hard spirts before and as he now wakes up he finds that the crew thought it would be funny to dress him up as one of the pirates and put him in the apple barrel at the foot of the old mast.
As he lays there not feeling very well he over hears Silver trying to talk the younger crew members into joining him in taking controll of the ship once they reach Treasure Island.
