Billy Bones, the first pirate Jim meets in the novel, tells Jim to call him captain.

What you mought call me? You mought call me captain. Oh, I see what you’re at— there"; and he threw down three or four gold pieces on the threshold. ‘You can tell me when I’ve worked through that,’ says he, looking as fierce as a commander.
