Answer:
Jim felt "uneasy and alarmed" with the stranger, and admits that he "puzzled [him]".
Step-by-step explanation:
Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island" revolves around the protagonist Jim Hawkins' adventures and his search for a treasure. The story is set with characters like pirates, journeys by ship, and the usual interesting story of an evil pirate and the fight to get to a buried treasure.
Jim Hawkins recalls how he first met "Black Dog", the former shipmate of "Captain" Bill, a guest at their inn "The Admiral Benbow". Jim recounts how the new guy was "a pale, tallowy creature, wanting two fingers of the left hand, and though he wore a cutlass, he did not look much like a fighter." He also went further to admit that "... this one puzzled [him]", and the longer he was in the company of the stranger, the more "uneasy and alarmed" Jim became.
