Back on the Hispaniola, the captain and his friends learned that Jim had gone ashore, and they feared they would never see him again.Dr. Livesey and Hunter rowed ashore in the little jolly-boat and found an old stockade: a log-house on a small hill, with a spring of fresh water and a tall fence all around.Just then a dying man’s cry came from the woods, and the doctor thought at once of Jim.
They made a quick plan: they would fill the jolly-boat with food, guns and powder, leave the ship, and hold the stockade.The captain called to one of the sailors: “Abraham Gray, I am leaving this ship, and I order you to follow your captain.”There was a scuffle, and out burst Gray with a cut on his cheek. “I’m with you, sir,” he said.
The little boat was badly overloaded, and a strong current kept pushing it away from the landing place.Then, to their horror, they saw the pirates on the ship loading the big gun, with Israel Hands ready to fire.The squire fired first; then the cannon boomed, the ball flew over their heads, and the boat sank in the shallow water.
They waded ashore, but half their powder and food was lost, and only two of their guns were still dry.They ran for the stockade, and they reached it just as the pirates came out of the woods.In the fighting that followed, Tom Redruth, the squire’s old servant, was shot, and he died with his master beside him.
The captain raised the British flag over the log-house, and gently laid another flag over poor Tom.All afternoon the pirates fired cannonballs at the flag, but the captain refused to take it down.Then, as night fell, a voice came from the trees: “Doctor! Squire! Captain!” It was Jim.

한편 히스파니올라호에서는 선장 일행이 짐이 뭍에 올라갔다는 것을 알게 되었고, 다시는 짐을 보지 못할까 봐 걱정했어요. 리브지 의사와 헌터는 작은 보트를 저어 뭍으로 가서 오래된 통나무 요새를 찾아냈어요. 작은 언덕 위에 통나무집이 있고, 맑은 샘물이 솟으며, 둘레에는 높은 울타리가 둘러쳐져 있었어요. 바로 그때 숲속에서 죽어 가는 사람의 비명이 들려왔고, 의사는 곧바로 짐을 떠올렸어요.
일행은 재빨리 계획을 세웠어요. 작은 보트에 식량과 총과 화약을 싣고 배를 떠나 요새를 지키기로 한 거예요. 선장은 선원 한 사람을 불렀어요. "에이브러햄 그레이, 나는 이 배를 떠난다. 선장을 따라오도록 명령한다." 우당탕 몸싸움 소리가 나더니, 뺨에 칼자국이 난 그레이가 뛰쳐나왔어요. "선장님 편에 서겠습니다." 그레이가 말했어요.
작은 보트에는 짐이 너무 많이 실려 있었고, 거센 물살이 자꾸만 보트를 상륙할 곳에서 밀어냈어요. 그때 섬뜩하게도 해적들이 배 위에서 큰 대포를 장전하는 모습이 보였어요. 이스라엘 핸즈가 쏠 준비를 하고 있었어요. 지주가 먼저 총을 쏘았어요. 곧이어 대포가 쾅 울렸고, 포탄은 머리 위로 날아갔지만 보트는 얕은 물속에 가라앉고 말았어요.
일행은 물을 헤치고 뭍으로 올라왔지만, 화약과 식량의 절반을 잃었고 젖지 않은 총은 두 자루뿐이었어요. 일행은 요새를 향해 달렸고, 해적들이 숲에서 나타나는 바로 그 순간 요새에 도착했어요. 이어진 싸움에서 지주의 늙은 하인 톰 레드루스가 총에 맞았어요. 톰은 주인이 곁을 지키는 가운데 숨을 거두었어요.
선장은 통나무집 위에 영국 국기를 올리고, 또 다른 깃발 하나를 가엾은 톰 위에 조용히 덮어 주었어요. 오후 내내 해적들은 깃발을 겨냥해 포탄을 쏘아 댔지만, 선장은 깃발을 내리지 않았어요. 그러다 날이 저물 무렵 숲에서 목소리가 들려왔어요. "의사 선생님! 지주님! 선장님!" 짐이었어요.
