Jim is spotted on the island by the pirates while overhearing them. He has to flee and meets Ben Gunn, who has been living alone on the island for ten years. He shows him the quickest route to the bay where the Hispaniola is anchored. Meanwhile, Captain Smallet has captured and imprisoned the remaining conspirators on the ship. He continues with Dr. Livesey, Mr. Trelawny, and the few trustworthy men ashore. But the pirates are able to free themselves, give their cronies on the island smoke signals and shoot cannons at the captain and his people in the boats. They narrowly make it to shore, where they meet Jim and attempt to reach an old fort on the island. But the pirates are hot on their heels...
