The Captain's Death

The captain, upon receiving the black spot, reads it and cries out that he has until ten o'clock. He tries to rise but falls dead from apoplexy. Jim and his mother are horrified, and Jim bursts into tears, the second death he has witnessed. The blind man has vanished, and the threat of the pirates looms.
