The captain sent most of the crew ashore to keep them quiet, and I went with them and ran off into the woods. There I saw Silver murder the honest sailor Tom with his crutch and his knife. Meanwhile the doctor had found an old log-house behind a stockade on the island, with a spring inside it, and our party moved there with what food and powder they could carry. The Hispaniola was left to the pirates. Silver came up to the stockade under a flag of truce and offered terms: give us the map and nobody dies. Captain Smollett refused everything. That afternoon the pirates attacked, and we beat them back, but four of our seven were down and the doctor had to bind up their wounds. Silver had lost five men and did not try the stockade again.
