1 You lost the ship; I found the treasure.
2 Second point, we have time before us--at least until this treasure's found.
3 I were in Flint's ship when he buried the treasure; he and six along--six strong seamen.
4 Billy Bones was the mate; Long John, he was quartermaster; and they asked him where the treasure was.
5 All of us had an ample share of the treasure and used it wisely or foolishly, according to our natures.
6 Where they have it, I don't know yet; but once we hit the treasure, we'll have to jump about and find out.
7 Gray and Ben Gunn came and went with the boat, while the rest during their absences piled treasure on the beach.
8 You give us the chart to get the treasure by, and drop shooting poor seamen and stoving of their heads in while asleep.
9 Either you come aboard along of us, once the treasure shipped, and then I'll give you my affy-davy, upon my word of honour, to clap you somewhere safe ashore.
10 "I'll tell you what I've heard myself," continued Captain Smollett: "that you have a map of an island, that there's crosses on the map to show where treasure is, and that the island lies--" And then he named the latitude and longitude exactly.
11 I believe the silly fellows must have thought they would break their shins over treasure as soon as they were landed, for they all came out of their sulks in a moment and gave a cheer that started the echo in a faraway hill and sent the birds once more flying and squalling round the anchorage.
12 Before that, we had got the treasure stowed and had shipped enough water and the remainder of the goat meat in case of any distress; and at last, one fine morning, we weighed anchor, which was about all that we could manage, and stood out of North Inlet, the same colours flying that the captain had flown and fought under at the palisade.
13 In the immediate nearness of the gold, all else had been forgotten: his promise and the doctor's warning were both things of the past, and I could not doubt that he hoped to seize upon the treasure, find and board the HISPANIOLA under cover of night, cut every honest throat about that island, and sail away as he had at first intended, laden with crimes and riches.
