‘Did any of you gentlemen want to argue with me?’shouted Silver.‘Well,I'm ready.Let him take a knife,and I'll see the colour of his inside!’
Not a man answered.I listened to my heart beating.Silver waited calmly,his pipe in his mouth,as he watched his followers.Slowly,they got together at the far end of the house and whispered to each other.
‘We'll go outside and talk,’replied one man.And he stepped calmly towards the door and disappeared out of the house.One after another,the rest of the men did the same.
‘They're going to kill you,Jim,’said Silver when the two of us were alone,‘and they're going to stop me being their captain.When I looked into that bay and saw the ship was gone,I knew it was all over.Now,I'll save your life,if I can,but it must be a bargain----you must save Long John from dying under the law.’
‘There's trouble coming,Jim,’he said.‘And talking of trouble,why did the doctor give me the map?’
I stared at him in great surprise.Why indeed?
‘Well,he did,’Silver went on.‘And that's strange.’
The door opened and the five pirates came in.They pushed one man forward and he gave something to Silver.
The sea cook looked at what the man had given him.‘The black spot!’he said.He turned the paper over.‘What's this?No longer captain.You're becoming quite a leading man in this crew,George Merry.You'll be cap’n next,I suppose.But tell me what's wrong.’
‘I'll tell you what's wrong!’said George.‘First,you made too many mistakes on this trip.Second,you let the enemy out of this trap for nothing.And then there's this boy.’
‘Well,I'll answer you,’said Silver.‘You all know what I wanted but you wouldn't listen,would you?In my plan,we'd be on the Hispaniola now,every dead man alive and the treasure on ship,by thunder!Next,this boy.Well,we'll use him to bargain with.He might be our last chance.And the doctor?You've been glad enough to have a doctor coming to see you every day----you,John,with your head broken…or you,George,sick and shaking with fever only a few hours ago.I made a bargain,that's why I let’em go!’He threw a piece of paper on to the floor.It was the map with the three crosses.
The pirates jumped on it like cats upon a mouse.
You tell me,George!’shouted Silver.‘You and the others lost the ship;I found the treasure.But I'll not be your captain any longer!’
‘Silver for cap’n!’shouted the pirates.
After a moment,the sea cook smiled.‘George,’he said.‘I think you'll have to wait a while before you get another chance to be captain.’
Early in the morning Dr Livesey came to the stockade.
‘We've a surprise for you,doctor,’Silver called out.‘We've a little stranger here.’
The doctor was now inside the stockade.‘Not Jim?’
‘The very same Jim,’said Silver.
The doctor stopped.‘Well,well,’he said.Then he went on,Let's see these sick men of yours,Silver.’
A moment afterwards,he entered the house.With one look at me,he went to his work among the sick.‘Well,that's done,’he said,after visiting each man.‘And now I'd like to talk to that boy,please.’
‘Silence!’shouted Silver.‘Hawkins,’he went on in his usual voice,‘will you promise not to escape?’I gave the promise.‘Then,doctor,’said Silver,‘you just step outside that stockade,and when you're there,I'll bring the boy down on the inside.You can talk through the fence.’
The men's anger exploded after the doctor left the house,and they accused Silver of trying to make a separate peace for himself.Silver waved the map in front of them and told them they were stupid.
‘By thunder!’he cried.‘We'll break the peace when the right time comes----and that's not now!’And then he walked out on his crutch,his hand on my shoulder.‘Slowly,boy,’he whispered to me.‘We don't want to worry them.’
Dr Livesey was waiting outside the stockade.‘The boy will tell you how I saved his life,’Silver said through the fence.‘Will you say a good word for me?’
‘I don't like the idea of dying by the law,’said Silver.‘And now I'll leave you and Jim alone.’
‘So,Jim,’said the doctor,‘here you are.I'm disappointed in you.You went away when Captain Smollett was wounded,which wasn't a brave thing to do.’
‘Doctor,’I cried,‘I've blamed myself enough.’
‘Jim,’said the doctor,his voice changed.‘Jim,I can't have this.Jump over and we'll run!’
‘No,’I said.‘I promised Silver I wouldn't escape,and I must go back.But listen,I took the ship and she's in North Inlet,on the beach.’
‘The ship!’cried the doctor.
I told him my story and he listened in silence Then he said,‘It's you that saves our lives,Jim,and now we'll save yours.Silver!’he called,then as the cook came nearer,said,‘Some Advice----don't hurry to find that treasure.If you do,watch out for storms.’
‘What's the game,doctor?’said Silver.‘Why did you give me the map?’
‘I can't say more,’said the doctor.‘It's not my secret to tell.But if we both get out of this alive,Silver,I'll do my best to save you.Now,keep the boy close beside you,and when you need help,shout for it.’
Then Dr Livesey hurried off into the wood.

The ship and its men
We went out to the His paniola in a small boat. Mr Ar-row met us, and it was clear that he and the squire were very friendly .But things were not the same between Mr Trelawney and the captain. Captain Smollett seemed angry with everybody on board, and told us why.
I don't like this voyage,’he told us.‘I don't like the men, and I don't like my first officer.’
‘Perhaps ,sir ,you don't like the ship?’said the squire ,an-grily.
‘I can't say that ,sir ,as I haven't yet sailed her, replied the captain.‘She seems a good ship.’
‘Possibly, sir, you don't like your employer either? said the squire.
‘Now, now, let's not argue,’ said Dr Livesey. He turned to the captain.‘You say you don't like this voyage,’ he said.‘Please explain.’
‘I was employed, sir,’said the captain,‘on secret orders ,and to sail this ship where that gentleman ordered me to sail it. Now I find every other man on this ship knows more than I do .I don't call that fair, do you?’
‘Next,’said the captain, I learn we are going to look for treasure-hear it from my own crew! Now, I don't like trea-sure voyages at the best of times, and I certainly don't like them when they are secret. Also, a captain is usually allowed to choose his own crew.’
‘That's true, ’agreed the doctor.‘And you don't like Mr Arrow?’
‘No, sir, ’replied Captain Smollett.‘He's too friendly with the crew.’
‘Tell us what you want, ’said the doctor.
‘First of all, the men are putting the powder and weapons in the front of the ship,’said the captain.‘Now, you have a good place under the cabin .Why not put them there ?Second, you are bringing four of your own people. Let them sleep here be- side the cabin.’
‘What else?’asked Mr Trelawney.
‘Only one thing, sir, ’said the captain.‘There's been too much talking already. I'll tell you what I've heard. That you have a map of an island; that there's crosses on the map to show where treasure is; and that the island is-’Then he told us the exact place.
‘I never told that to anyone!’cried the squire.
‘The crew know it, sir,’replied the captain.‘I don't know who has this map, but I want it to be kept secret ,even from me and Mr Arrow. If not ,I will ask you to let me leave the ship.’
‘You want us to keep all this a secret,’said the doctor,‘and you want all the weapons and powder to be kept near us. In other words ,you fear a mutiny.’
‘I did not say that ,sir,’replied Captain Smoll ett.‘No cap-tain could go to sea believing that.’And he went away.
‘ Trelawney, said the doctor, I believe you have managed to get two honest men on board-that man ,and John Silver.’
‘Silver, yes,’ said the squire, ‘but the captain acts neither like a man, nor a good seaman!’
‘Well,’ said the doctor,‘ we shall see.’
We were moving the weapons and powder when Long John came aboard. The cook came up the side as quick as a monkey and saw what we were doing.
‘What's this?’he wanted to know.
‘My orders,’said the captain, coldly.‘You may go below, my man .The crew will want supper.’
‘Yes ,sir,’said the cook, and disappeared quickly.
‘That's a good man, captain,’said the doctor.
‘That may be ,sir ,replied Captain Smollett.

The man of the island
But almost immediately I ran into a new danger.As I ran, I heard some small stones falling from the side of a steep hill. I stopped to look round, and saw a figure jump quickly behind a tree.Frightened, I turned back towards the boats, but the figure appeared again and moved with the speedof an animal. But it was a man, I knew that now.
I remembered I had a pistol if I needed it, and turned back towards this man of the island. He was hiding behind another tree but stepped out to meet me.
‘Who are you ?I asked, staring at him.
‘Ben Gunn ,’he answered, and his voice sounded rough andstrange .His skin was burnt nearly black by the sun and his clothes were made from pieces of a ship's sail.‘Poor Ben Gunn,’he went on.‘Alone for three years.’
‘Were you shipwrecked?’I asked.
‘No ,my friend,’he said.‘Marooned.’
I had heard the word before, and knew it meant a cruel pun-ishment often used by pirates-leaving a man alone on some distant, empty island.
‘Marooned three years, he continued,‘ living on wild goats and fish. But I'm desperate for real English food. You don't have a piece of cheese, do you? Many nights I've dreamed of cheese.’
‘If I can get on board ship again, ’I said, ‘you can have as much cheese as you want.’
‘Who's going to prevent you?’he said.‘And tell me your name.
‘Well, Jim,’he said, looking around and lowering his voice to a whisper, ‘I'm rich.’I was now sure the poor man was crazy ,but he repeated his words.‘Rich, I say! Now ,Jim ,that isn't Flint's ship, is it?’
I began to think that I had found a friend, and I answered him at once.‘It's not Flint's ship. Flint is dead, but there are some of Flint's men aboard, and that's bad news for us.’
‘He's the cook, and their leader ,too.’ And I told him the whole story of our voyage, and the danger we were now in.
‘You're in trouble, Jim,’he said when I'd finished.‘Well, Ben Gunn will help you. Will your squire be generous if I do, do you think? I don't want him to give me a job, but will he give me one thousand pounds out of money that's really mine?’
‘I'm sure he will,’I said.
‘And take me home on your ship?’
‘If we can escape from the others,’I told him,‘we'll need your help to get the ship home.’
He seemed happy with this.‘I was in Flint's ship when he and six seamen hid the treasure,’he said.‘They were on shore nearly a week,then Flint came back alone.Not a man on board could guess how he had killed the others.Then I was in another ship,three years ago,and we saw this island.“Boys,”I said,“let's go ashore and find Flint's treasure.”Twelve days we searched,and the men got angrier with me every day.Then they went back to the ship.“Ben Gunn,”they said,“you can stay here and find Flint's money.Here's a gun,a spade and an axe.”Well,Jim,I've been here for three years,and no real food from that day to this.But I've found things to do,oh yes!’Here he closed one eye and smiled at me.‘Now go to your squire and tell him Ben Gunn is a good man.
‘I will,’I said,‘but how will I get on board?’
‘There's my boat that I made with my two hands,’he said.‘I keep her under the white rock.We might try that after dark.’
Although there was another hour before the sun went down,we suddenly heard the sound of the ship's gun.
‘They've begun to fight!’I cried.‘Follow me.’
