In Part 5, Jim escapes from the stockade, finds Ben Gunn’s boat on the beach, and commandeers the ship. After an attempt at bargaining fails, the pirates attack the stockade, but most of the captain’s men survive. In Part 4, the captain defends himself against the advances of pirates onboard the anchored ship, and the doctor ferries supplies back and forth to a stockade, a fenced-in and protected log cabin in a clearing on the island. Jim goes ashore alone, witnesses John Silver murdering an honest hand, and encounters a marooned man named Ben Gunn. The ship anchors at Treasure Island in Part 3, and the battle between the pirates and the captain’s men begins. It is here that Jim first meets Long John Silver, who ultimately proves to be the dangerous and violent leader of the pirates, as well as Captain Smollett, the rightful captain of the ship. In Part 2, Jim goes to Bristol and sets sail. In Part 1, Jim describes the behavior of the old sea captain who visits the inn and the dangers he faced in securing the treasure map from the sea captain’s chest. The novel is divided into six parts of roughly six chapters each. This sets the stage for the ship’s landing at Treasure Island, where a battle ensues between the pirates (also referred to as “mutineers” and “buccaneers”) and the men loyal to the ship’s original captain, Captain Smollett. Once at sea, however, Jim learns that the hired crew has plans to win the treasure for themselves and are willing to kill whoever necessary in order to do so.
They outfit a ship with a crew and supplies and set sail. Jim takes the map to the local doctor and squire, and together they plan to go to sea to find the deceased captain’s buried treasure. He takes up residence for some months before passing away and leaving behind a chest containing a treasure map. An old sea captain visits Jim’s family’s inn one day. Treasure Island is told primarily from the point of view of Jim Hawkins, the 17-year-old son of an innkeeper in a small coastal town in England.
