Somebody help me upSomebody help me upLong John answered Me，sir．The men chose me to be captainWincor Partsafter you deserted the ship We're willing to make peace if we can all agree．All I ask is your promise to allow me safely out of the stockade．’

‘I don't want to talk to you，’said Captain Smollett，‘but if you want to talk to me，you may come．’ Silver came towards the stockade，threw his crutch over the fence，then climbed after it．With great difficulty,Fire hose，he walked up the hill of soft sand．

‘Aren't you going to let me inside？’said Long John．‘It's a cold morning to be outside．’

‘If you were an honest man，Silver，’said the captain，‘you could be in your kitchen．You're either my ship's cook，or Cap’n Silver，a dirty pirate！Now，if you've anything to say，say it！’

‘Well now，Cap’n Smollett，’said Silver，sitting down in the sand#x，‘you were very clever，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 SmollettWincor Parts，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！’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！#x’he shouted，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 SilverWincor Parts，‘I'll break your old house like a rum bottle！And those that die will be the lucky ones！’相关的主题文章：
