2) He was plainly blind, for he tapped before him with a stick, and wore a great green shade over his eyes and nose; and he was hunched, as if with age or weakness, and wore a huge old tattered sea cloak with a hood, that  made him appear positively deformed. I never saw in my life a more dreadful-looking figure (Ch. III, pp.  28-29).

3) His left leg was cut off close by the hip, and under the left shoulder he carried a crutch, which he managed with wonderful dexterity, hopping about upon it like a bird. He was very tall and strong, with a face as big as a ham-plain and pale, but intelligent and smiling (Ch. VIII, p. 76).

4) "Pieces of eight! pieces of eight! pieces of eight!" (Ch. X, p. 98).

6) "Many's the long night I've dreamed of cheese-toasted, mostly" (Ch. XV, p. 142).

7) "You're either my ship's cook-and then you were treated handsome-or Cap'n Silver, a common mutineer and pirate, and then you can go hang!" (Ch. XX, p. 190).

Captain Smollett as he refuses to negotiate with Silver.

8) "But one man of her crew alive. What put to sea with seventy-five." Ch, XXIII, p. 222).

One of the sailors' songs that Jim remembers.  

9)  "And now, shipmates, this black spot? 'Tain't much good now, is it? Dick's crossed his luck and spoiled his Bible, and that's about all" (Ch. XXIX, p. 289).
