Inside the stockadeInside the stockadeWe followed the noise of the fightingInteractive whiteboardand came to a hill.There stood a strong wooden house,big enough for forty people,and with holes for guns on every side.All around the house was a wide open piece of land;and around that was a fence,two metres high,with no doors or openings,and too strong to pull down easily.As soon as Ben Gunn saw the English flag flying over thehouse,he said,‘There are your friends.’
‘More likely to be the pirates,’I answered.‘Silver would put up the pirate's flag,the Jolly Roger,’#xsaid Ben.‘No,there's been a fight,and your friends have won.They're inside the stockade that Flint made years ago.’
‘Then I must hurry and join them,’I said.He wouldn't come with me.‘I won't come until you've seen your gentleman and got his promise.You know where to find me,Jim.And if the pirates sleep on shore tonight,one of them might have an unpleasant surprise!’The ship's gun BOOMED!and the shot fell only a hundredmetres away.Ben Gunn and I each ran our different ways.Thefiring continued for another hour,and I moved quietly through the trees to the shore.There I saw the Hispaniola in the bay—but the Jolly Roger was flying over her!On the beach,the pirates were breaking up the captain's little boatInteractive whiteboardwith axes.When the ship's gun stopped firing,I went back to the stockade.
‘Doctor!’I shouted.‘Squire!Captain!Hello,Hunter,is that you?’Dr Livesey came out of the house in time to see me climbing into the stockade,Diamond tools,and my friends welcomed me happily They gave me supper----although they were worried because there was little food left.As I ate,Dr Livesey told me their story.We heard you had gone ashore on one of the boats,Jim,’he said.‘We never doubted your honesty,but we were afraid you wouldn't be safe.Hunter and I came ashore to see what was happening,and found the stockade.It seemed a good place to defend ourselves against Silver and his men,because we were sure they would kill us when they returned to the ship Here,all we needed was enough food,and people to watch for enemies.You see,we know that if the Hispaniola does not return to Bristol by the end of August,a rescue ship will be sent to look for us.‘So we made a plan to get ourselves off the ship,’Dr Livesey went on#x.‘Hunter,Redruth,and Joyce helped us.Hunter brought the captain's little boat round under the cabin window,and Joyce and I put guns and food and my medicine chest in it.Redruth took four guns and went on deck with Trelawney and the captain They were able to surprise Israel Hands andInteractive whiteboardthe other men,and they managed to persuade one man,Abraham Gray,to join us again.’相关的主题文章:
