The Story
Robert Louis Stevenson
wrote Treasure Island
in 1881. It is set in the
days of sailing ships and
pirates and tells of the
adventures of Jim
Hawkins and his search
for the buried treasure
of an evil pirate, Captain
Flint.
The story begins at
'The Admiral Benbow',
the inn that belongs to
Jim Hawkin's parents. A
mysterious stranger
called Billy Bones, who
rents a room at the inn,
warns Jim to keep a
look out for a 'one
legged man'. One day,
Billy is visited by a
beggar called 'Blind Pew'
who gives him the
'black spot' which is the
mark of imminent
death among pirate
crews. After Blind Pew
leaves, Billy collapses
and dies.
Jim finds a map in Billy's
sea chest just before
Blind Pew returns with
a band of evil pirates.
Jim and his mother
quickly hide before the
pirates ransack the Inn
looking for the map.
Suddenly soldiers arrive
and the pirates escape,
except for Blind Pew
who is accidentally
trampled to death by
the soldiers' horses.
Jim takes the map to
Squire Trelawney and
Doctor Livesey who
realise that it shows
where Captain Flint, an
evil and heartless
pirate, has buried his
stolen treasure. The
Squire and the Doctor
decide to go and find
the treasure and invite
Jim to come along. The
Squire then buys a ship
called the 'Hispaniola'
and hires a crew led by
the respected Captain
Smollet. The ship's cook
is a one legged man
called Long John Silver
whom everyone
admires.
The ship sets sail and
Captain Smollet
immediately begins to
doubt the
trustworthiness of his
crew. However, the
night before they reach
Treasure Island Jim
overhears Silver and
other members of the
crew plotting to kill
them all. He realises
that Long John Silver
and most of the crew
are actually pirates and
were once members of
Captain Flint's crew.
Jim warns the Doctor,
the Squire and the
Captain about the
crew's evil plans. The
Captain sends most of
the pirates ashore and
Jim decides, at the last
moment, to go ashore
with them. Once there,
he hides in the woods.
Whilst Jim is hiding he
comes across Ben Gunn,
an ex-pirate who had
been marooned on the
island three years ago,
by his crewmates. Ben
has given up piracy and
promises to help Jim
and his friends.
Meanwhile the Captain
and the others abandon
the Hispaniola and take
refuge in an old
stockade on the Island.
The pirates quickly
realise that their plans
have been discovered
and attack the Captain
and the others to get
the treasure map.
However, for the time
being the Captain and
his crew are safe in the
stockade.
Jim manages to sneak
into the stockade and is
reunited with his
friends. They spend the
night in the stockade
and the next morning
Silver approaches
waving a flag of truce.
Silver offers them their
lives in exchange for the
treasure map but the
Captain refuses and
soon another gunfight
starts. The stockade is
attacked by the pirates,
who are fought off,
though there are men
killed on both sides.
Captain Smollett is also
injured.
Jim decides to escape
from the stockade and
goes off without telling
the others. He finds a
boat that Ben Gunn has
told him he has hidden
and then sails out to
the Hispaniola and cuts
its mooring ropes. He
falls asleep in the boat
exhausted.
In the morning he only
just manages to escape
from drowning as the
sea has become very
rough. Luckily he spots
the drifting Hispaniola
and manages to board
her. There are only two
pirates on board, one of
whom has been killed in
a drunken brawl by the
other. After a terrifying
fight, Jim kills the last
pirate and manages to
steer the ship into a
small cove. He then
heads back to the
stockade to rejoin his
friends.
The stockade is now in
the hands of long John
Silver and his mates. Jim
is captured and is given
the choice to join them.
When he refuses the
pirates want to kill him
but Silver talks them
out of it. Silver tells Jim
that the Doctor has
given him the map and
also abandons the
stockade in exchange
for being allowed to go
free.
Silver tells Jim that he is
now on the side of the
Doctor. At this point the
pirates attempt to give
Silver the black spot but
withdraw it when he
reveals that he has the
map. They agree to go
and find the treasure
the next day.
The treasure hunt
begins and Jim is
dragged along. The
weather is hot and
sweaty and the pirates
are edgy. When they
finally reach the spot
where the treasure
should have been hidden
they discover only an
empty chest!
Silver immediately
realises that there will
be trouble and gives Jim
a pistol with which to
defend himself. The
pirates turn angrily on
Silver and are just about
to attack him when
there is a shot from the
woods that kills one of
them. The Doctor and
Ben Gunn then appear
and the pirates run off,
heading for the
remaining long boat left
from the Hispaniola.
Jim and his friends get
there first and demolish
the boat. At this point
Ben Gunn reveals that
he had dug up the
treasure several years
ago and it is now in his
cave. Jim takes
everyone to the
Hispaniola and they
transport the treasure
from Ben's cave to her
hold. Silver still claims to
be on the Doctor's side
and helps them at
every opportunity.
Finally they set sail and
leave Treasure Island
and the last couple of
pirates behind. They
first sail the Hispaniola
to America to get more
crewman and moor
there for one night.
In the morning they
discover that Silver and
some of the treasure
have disappeared. Finally
they return home, the
Captain makes a full
recovery, Ben Gunn
becomes a respectable
citizen and Jim swears
never to go chasing
treasure again. No one
ever hears of Long John
Silver again.
