Silver snatches Jim's pistol and forces Trelawney and the others out of the boat, but forces Jim to stay and steer him out of the cove. Jim instead beaches him on a sandbar, and Silver orders Hawkins to push him off at pistol point, though Jim bravely refuses. Silver is unable to carry out his threat to shoot and drops the pistol in the water, attempting to push the boat off on his own. Seeing Silver struggle, Jim helps him, waving a hesitant farewell as Silver rows away with the treasure and bids him farewell in return. Reviews from critics were mostly positive. Thomas M. Pryor of The New York Times called the film "a grand and glorious entertainment" that "captures the true spirit of the novel.

The island was made specifically for the exposition in by stacking rocks on top of the shallow foundation of the landmass.

Its name at the time was "Magic Isle. The Navy used the island in part as a training ground in the Cold War era, teaching Navy students how to decontaminate ships by having them practice cleaning a land-ridden vessel outfitted with deck markers.

The paint on the markers contained radium, a radioactive element used to make objects glow in the dark. Over the year period that the Navy operated on the island, radioactive material seeped into the soil and contaminants were dumped into garbage pits dug deep into the ground. Military families started living on the island starting in the s. Daycare centers, homes, and schools were built.

In , the military base was closed as part of a nationwide shuttering of hundreds of bases. They were offered up for civilian reuse. And the city of San Francisco — in the midst of the tech boom of the 90s and already experiencing a housing crisis — leaped at the opportunity to build units on a fresh spate of land.

Another part of the reuse plan was to allocate a third of the land to house and assist the homeless. And so in the late s and early s, some of the island's first new inhabitants were those exiting homelessness. They moved into the old military family units. Miller didn't come from a homeless background, but health issues and other factors led her to seek supportive housing. She would eventually join the island community through One Treasure Island for a short time in , and later permanently in She moved into Reeves Court with her then-young daughters until scientists clad in hazmat suits came knocking.

A report published around the time of the base closure described the waste embedded in the ground as harmless.

City advisors found no serious issues with the waste. In the late s, the Navy started testing and cleaning its way through the island, and in , it started transferring what it claimed were clean chunks of it to the city of San Francisco as it went. But some city officials and environmental groups claimed there has never been transparency in the Navy's findings.

And, as Reuters reported, the Navy immediately started to discover abnormally high levels of contaminants like lead, dioxins, and DDT. The US Navy finally labeled the housing area of the island as "radiologically impacted. At the time of a Reuters investigation in January , Navy contractors had unearthed 1, low-level radioactive objects in the ground beneath the Treasure Island neighborhood, some in areas it previously deemed to be clean of contaminants. A US Navy report published in March stated that there was "no radiological health risk" posed to Treasure Island residents.

In September , the Navy disclosed that it had unearthed a chunk of low-level radioactive dirt the size of a basketball that had previously gone undetected, which it also claimed posed no real threat. But a September San Francisco Chronicle report revealed that the island was so hazardous it was once considered to be labeled as Superfund site, a classification given to the most polluted areas in the US. Developers believe the island to be safely habitable, saying it's "flat wrong" to call the Navy-led cleanup and additional safety checks flawed.

Uncertainty regarding the exact nature of the island's contamination aside, there have been reports of thyroid issues, rashes, lumps, and hair loss in children, though no conclusive studies have determined there to be a link between them and Treasure Island contaminants. Miller said one of her daughters would later develop hair loss and lumps as well, which she believes were caused by living on the island.

Miller lived in Sacramento for 30 years before moving onto Treasure Island. Miller said her life prior included criminal activity, and she turned to Community Housing Partnership, a housing advocacy group, for a behavior-modification program on the island. But she moved onto the island with her two daughters and began work as a tattoo artist at a shop on Larkin Street. She had a stroke in that prevented her from continuing on with the trade, which requires a steady hand.

After her home on Reeves Court was found to be on contaminated land, it was demolished. She moved to this new home two years ago. It's a two-story house with three bedrooms, and it backs up to the waterfront. She said her current home was closed for some time for the same reason as her previous house: suspicion of underground radioactive matter. Miller said she has never felt sick like her year-old daughter has. According to Miller, she was eight or nine years old when bald patches were found on her head and pus-filled bumps appeared on her body.

Miller has been taking her to and from the doctor ever since. And Miller said her daughter isn't the only child living on Treasure Island that has developed hair loss. Bartell said he's never felt any effects of radiation.
