Then Jim fell from the front of the ship and became stunned. He awoke to find himself drifting out to sea. He tried paddling to shore but soon realized he could not make it. He succeeded to paddle to the ship and again board it. Once boarding, he found a lone pirate who agreed if Jim gave him brandy he would help him beach the boat safely. Later on the pirate attacked him and Jim shot him dead. The boat soon came to rest on the north end of Treasure Island.
On disembarking and going back to the stockade Jim noticed something wasn’t right. Silver and the pirates had taken over the stockade and his friends had fled.

The good guys ambushed the pirates (triumph good over evil) and killed three pirates and three
