Then he threw his knife to me and it stabbed me in my arm. I screamed with pain and I pulled the triggers unconsciously. Israel Hands screamed and fell from the mast into the sea. I saw the water turn red from blue. He was dead. I took the knife out of my arm; luckily it wasn’t a deep wound. Then I jumped from Hispaniola onto the land and ran towards the shelter. It was night time and all my friends were asleep. I was very happy to see them safe and in peace. I walked in the dark shelter to wake them up and tell what happened. I went near a person who looked like Doctor Livesey and while I was reaching out my hand to his shoulder, a loud noise began: “Pieces of eight!

“Look what we have here. The doctor gave this to me.” he said. It was Captain Flint’s map of the Treasure. The pirates forgot about killing me and looked at the map. “Hurray! Silver has the map of the treasure. He is the Captain! Hurray! Captain Silver! We are going to be rich!” they shouted. Then the pirates went back to sleep, but I couldn’t.

How did you survive?” “There are wild goats, some vegetables, and fruits here. So, I survived. Then I found Captain Flint’s treasure, because I was with him when he buried the treasure. I carried the treasure into my cave.” said Ben Gunn. Doctor Livesey stepped forwards and he said: “When I went to find Ben Gunn, he told me about the treasure. Then I came back to give the shelter and the map to you…” he turned to Silver. Then he looked at me: “You were gone Hawkins. Then I came back to the cave without any plans.
