1. Long John Silver is a tall, strong man with a wooden leg and a crutch. He has a face as big as a ham — plain and pale — but is intelligent and smiling. He moves energetically among the tables at the Spy-Glass Inn, whistling or giving cheerful greetings, and seems to be well-liked by the guests.
2. Jim likely likes Long John Silver. The passage describes Silver as “intelligent and smiling” and notes that he “seemed in the most cheerful spirits,” which suggests a positive impression. Jim also observes Silver’s physical presence with curiosity (“at a glance I was sure he must be Long John”) rather than fear, and notes how Silver is warmly received by others — “whistling or he moved about among the tables... for the more favored of his guests.” These details imply admiration or at least intrigue, not dislike.
