the ship is! She's aground on the northern beach. My boy! What is it? That's Hands. I shot him dead. Jim, jump over the fence and run. - I gave my word. - I'll take the responsibility. That's something you wouldn't do either. Yes. All right. Ben Gunn keeps saying he thinks you're a really wonderful fellow. Silver! I'm going to make an attempt to save you from the gallows. That's a right pleasant thing to hear. But your life depends entirely on this boy here. It's as clear as sunshine. When are you going to start looking for the treasure? I can't hold'em back any longer. I think it'll have to be today. Try to gain as much time as you can. I'll see you soon. Just keep the boy close beside you, and away from the others. Keep your distance, as a proper captain should. Here are some bandages and medicines. Since I'm now a pirate's doctor, dealing with mutineers, I consider it my duty to make them well enough for the gallows. I saw how he wanted to persuade you to desert us. You're a genuine gentleman, Jim! I'm grateful to you! A tall tree on the slope of Spyglass shoulder, a point to the N. Of N.N.E. It ain't this. Let's find a passage. A sailor! I suppose you wasn't expecting to find a bishop here. - Is it Ben Gunn? - It might be. The hair's yellow. Hey, that would be Allardyce! You mind Allardyce, Tom? He took my knife when he went ashore. All six of them must be here somewhere. - All seven! - What do you mean, seven? Flint took six of the boys, but he forbade us to come ashore. They stopped upon the island a week, while we waited on the "Cassandra". At night we made Ben Gunn look for those buried doubloons. He wasn't discreet enough I suppose. Two days later we sighted the longboat. Flint was in it. A blue scarf on his head, and a parrot sitting upon his shoulder. This here one. Those six boys were good lusty salts, so was Ben... How Flint got the better of them, only this here parrot knows. It chills the blood in my heart when I think of Flint. You missed a lot by not knowing Captain Flint. The likes of him aren't forgotten so easy. This I suppose to be an arrow to show the trail. Seven hundred thousand is waiting there, close by! Here's that passage! George, you go in first. Take this, sonny, and stand by for trouble. - By the gods! A guinea! - Give it here! A single guinea! No more but just that! Here's the guinea, you see? Where's the 700 thousand? Dig away, boys. Perhaps you'll find a pair of pignuts. Why, you! You're never going to be a Captain, George. We were held up by those devilish rocks. You came just in the nick of time, sir. How I hate this island! Is that you, Ben Gunn? I'm pleased you're alive and kicking. - It's been a long time. - Did Flint see you on the island? No, only I saw him kill the others one after the other. The way you killed Merry just now. - Where is it? - In my cave. I carried it there bit by bit upon my back. - What'll you do with it? - I don't know yet. That treasure belonged to all the men who were with Flint. It'll bring you nothing but worries, and not only to you. - While you're alive, it will. - We're all in the hands of the Lord. Fifteen men on the dead man's chest, Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum! Drink, or the Devil will make a mess, Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum! The most we can do for you is not to take you home to England, where the gallows await you. There is little else to add. We finally reached England, but it was a hard voyage, since we were of course shorthanded. We had to work like demons. At our first port of call where we hired a crew, Silver vanished from the ship, and vanished out of my life forever. When we put the treasure aboard, we filled the crew's quarters with it up to the brim. Captain Flint's treasure, for which we had embarked on our hazardous adventure, for which 15 men of the "Hispaniola"'s crew had perished.
