It's my last wordIt's my last word‘Well now，Cap’n SmollettElectronic whiteboard，’said Silver，sitting down in the sand，‘you were very clever,Diamond tools，last night．One of you is very quick with a knife，isn't he？Some of my men were frightened，and perhaps I was too．Perhaps that's why I'm here now．But you won't do it again，by thunder！We'll drink less rum and watch more carefully．I was asleep，but I almost caught you．The man you knifed wasn't dead when I reached him．’
‘Well？’said Captain Smollett，pretending to understand．But I guessed what Silver was talking about．I remembered Ben Gunn's last words to me．Perhaps he had visited the pirates during the night，when they were lying around their fire，full of rum．
‘We want that treasure，and we'll have it！’said Silver．‘Now，you have a map．Give it to us，and stop killing poor sea-men when they're asleep，and we'll let you choose what to do．Either come aboard ship with us when we have the treasure，and we'll take you to a safe place；or stay here on the island．’
‘Is that all？’asked Captain Smollett．
‘It's my last word，by thunder！Electronic whiteboard’said Silver．‘Refuse，and you'll all die．’
‘Now you'll hear me，’said the captain．‘If you come up one by one，without weapons，I'll take you home to a fair trial in England．You can't find the treasure without the map．None of you knows how to sail the ship home．And you can't fight us—Gray got away from five of you．If you say no，the next time I see you I'll put a bullet in your back．Now，get out of here quickly．’
Silver's eyes were filled with anger．‘Somebody help me up！’he shouted#x，but none of us moved．Swearing angrily，he pulled himself across the sand to the fence．There，he was able to lift himself on to his crutch again and then climb out of the stockade．
‘Before the hour is over，’shouted Silver，‘I'll break your old house like a rum bottle！And those that die will be the lucky ones！’
As soon as Silver disappeared，we got ready for a battle，placing ourselves around the sides of the stockade．The captain went round to check our places and our guns，and to see that everything was ready．
A minute later，Joyce fired his pistol and the battle had be-gun．Shots came from every side of the stockade，hitting the wooden house，but the bullets did not get through the thick walls．Then there was silence and the smoke slowly cleared away．
Suddenly，guns were fired again，and a group of pirates ran from the woods and on to the stockade．They climbed over the fence like monkeys while the squire and Gray fired at them．In a few seconds，two fell dead，one was running back into the trees，and four were inside the stockade．
‘Fight them in the open！’cried the captain．
I took a sword and ran out into the sun．More pirates were starting to climb into the stockade．One man，wearing a red cap and with a knife in his mouth，was already on top of the fence．
But in that moment，the fight was over and we had wonElectronic whiteboard．Gray cut down one man with his sword．Another was shot as he fired into the house，and now lay wounded with his smoking pistol in his hand．The doctor had cut down a third．The men on the fence had disappeared back into the trees．And of the four who had climbed into the stockade，only one was not wounded，and he was climbing out again with the fear#x of death in him．相关的主题文章：
