i've got a little boat jim' he told me. it's hidden under the white rock. we may need it'suddenly
i heard sound of cannon 'the pirates on the hispaniola are firing the cannon. there've started
fighting' i cried come on ben we ran back to the boats on the beach. ben knew the island well and he showed me a quick way to get there we heard more cannon fire and gunshots and then above the trees ahead of me i saw a flag fluttering in the breeze. it was the the union flag of my country.
Dr. livesey continued the story in his diary
my good friend trelawney asked me it we should try to over power the six pirates remaining on the ship and sail away i told him that captain smollett had said there wasn't enough wind also we thought that jin had gone ashore and we couldn't leave him behind i was very worried about jim he was on the ialand with a band of dangerous men . we decided that i would go ashore with hunter (one of trelawney's men )to see that we could find out. we left the six pirates on borad. there grumbled but there stayed on the ship .then we rowed to the island
