In Teasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson, Jim Hawkins, who narrates, never states exactly what illness his father suffers from. We know he is sick even at the start of the book, though, because Dr. Livesey visits the inn to check in on Jim's father. Jim believes the stress and tension of hosting the Captain, Billy Bones, drove his father more quickly to his death. Though he does not describe it in detail, in chapter three, Jim states that his father died suddenly.
