Answer:

Billy Bones appears at the very outset of the story with a mysterious sea chest, looking for a wayside inn with a view of the sea but little. Bones decides upon the Admiral Benbow Inn where he asks to be addressed merely as "Captain". Though his down-payment for lodgings is adequate, even generous, he stays for many months and browbeats Jim Hawkins' father out of asking for more money even when his deposit has been spent. He does, however, pay Jim fourpence a month to keep watch for "a seafaring man with one leg". Though he seems sometimes on the verge of deciding this was a waste of money, he invariably relents. Most of the daytime is spent walking the cliffs and looking out to sea.

Are these similes or metaphors
Sliva [168]
Just so you know...

A simile is comparing something with something else using 'like' or 'as' (for example - I swam in the sea like a fish or my room is like a tip). 

A metaphor is a word or phrase that compares something with something else (for example - his heart is metal or my room is a tip). Hope this makes sense!

1. The road was as curvy as a snake - Simile 

2. My mum told me that my room is like a pigsty - Simile

3. Mike is like a scared kitten as he enters the haunted house - Simile

Hope I helped!
