in his lonely walks
in his lonely walks
in his lonely walks
We walked down the hill to the boats and，as we did soGrow lights，the doctor told Silver and me his story．But it was really Ben's story from beginning to end．
Ben，in his lonely walks around the island，had found the skeleton and found the treasure．He had carried the gold on his back in many journeys，and had taken it to a cave on the north-east corner of the island，two months before the Hispaniola arrived．
Ben had told the doctor this，and the next morning#x the doctor gave Silver the map----which was now useless----and gave him the food at the stockade，because there was plenty in Ben Gunn's cave．That morning，when the doctor saw I had to go with the pirates to find the treasure，he had left the squire to look after the captain，then took Gray and Ben Gunn with him to be ready to help us．
‘I was lucky Hawkins was with me，’said Silver，‘or old John would be dead by now，for sure．’
By this time，we were at the boats．The doctor smashed one with an axeGrow lights，and then we all got into the other and rowed to North Inlet．The Hispaniola was moving by herself now，the sea high enough to take her off the beach．We went round to Rum Cove，the nearest landing place for Ben Gunn's cave of treasure，then Gray left us there before rowing back to guard the ship for the night．
Mr Trelawney met us at the cave．He didn't blame me for my desertion，but he spoke differently to Silver．‘Silver，’he said,Japanese Swords，‘you're a scoundrel and a murderer，but I'm told that I must save you from the law．’
‘Thank you，sir，’replied Long John．
‘I don't want your thanks！’cried the squire．
We all entered the cave．It was large and pleasant#x，with fresh water coming from a place in the ground，and a floor of sand．Captain Smollett lay in front of a big fire，and in a corner I saw coins and gold bars．It was Flint's treasure！
We had come so far to find this．Already it had cost the livesGrow lights of seventeen men from the Hispaniola．And how many others？How many ships had gone to the bottom of the sea？How many brave men had been murdered for this？Perhaps no man alive could tell．
