In this chapter, the good hands and the mutineers fight and the first good man.
They ran as fast as they could to the stockade while the mutineers’ voices seemed to draw nearer. They quickly prepared for battle with the mutineers. Then they saw the mutineers and fired. After that they walked outside of the stockade to see that a man was dead. Somebody then shot at the doctor but hit another person. The doctor and the squire tried to shot back but they didn’t have anything to aim at. They then took the injured man back in the stockade to die. After the man died, the captain revealed that he had many different items. The captain asks the doctor how long it will be until the consort will arrive. The doctor said it would be a few months and then the captain said that they had very low rations. Then the cannon ball fires and goes above the roof. The squire thought that it might be wise to take down the flag, which it what the enemy was aiming at, but everyone else agreed not to take it down. The shelling continues throughout the evening. After a while they decided to go get their provisions which would have been likely uncovered by then, but it was unless because the mutineers had captured the provisions already. Then they spot Jim Hawkins climbing over the stockade.
