The Coral Island / int_34dcfc96	comment	Kick the Dog: One of the pirates swings Peterkin's cat around by the tail before tossing it into the ocean. Jack says, "You see what we may expect. The man who will wantonly kill a poor brute for sport will think little of murdering a fellow-creature."

The Coral Island / int_3fba06fe	comment	"Far Side" Island: The lagoon around the island contains a number of tiny islands, some with one or two coconut trees growing on them. The castaways visit some of those islands after they build a boat for themselves.

The Coral Island / int_63cad64b	comment	Threatening Shark: The castaways paddle into the lagoon on a log to fish, only to find themselves pursued by a shark. They briefly distract it by throwing the fish they've caught at it. Then Jack beats it off with a paddle, upsetting the log and dumping the three of them into the water. By that point they're close enough to swim to shore before the shark gets close to them again, but they never venture into the lagoon again until they've built a proper boat.

The Coral Island / int_b6287eff	type	Briar Patching
The Coral Island / int_b6287eff	comment	Briar Patching: Attempted by Ralph when pirates arrive on the island. The boys hide out in a cave with an underwater entrance, and when Ralph comes out to see if it's safe, the pirates grab him and interrogate him as to the location of his two friends. Ralph says, "Villain, to blow my brains out would make short work of me, and be soon over. Death by drowning is as sure, and the agony prolonged, yet, I tell you to your face, if you were to toss me over yonder cliff into the sea, I would not tell you where my companions are, and I dare you to try me!" in the hopes that they'll throw him into the ocean and he can swim back to the cave. The pirate captain almost has Ralph thrown into the ocean, but changes his mind at the last minute, and decides to kidnap Ralph and put him to work as The Cabin Boy instead.

The Coral Island / int_fab3235a	type	Easy Evangelism
The Coral Island / int_fab3235a	comment	Easy Evangelism: The people of the inhabited islands are much more eager to adopt European religious and cultural practices than they usually were in real life. One example comes near the end of the book, when Ralph, Jack, and Peterkin have been captured by angry cannibals and are held prisoner in a cave for a week while they wait to be eaten. Then they're suddenly freed. A missionary arrived while they were imprisoned and converted the whole tribe in days. The boys leave the cave to find the old idols being thrown into a bonfire while thousands of natives cheer. By the time they leave the island, the natives have marked out plots to build European-style houses.
