In this chapter, the good hands and the mutineers battle fiercely.
When Silver disappeared the captain quickly criticizes the men for not being at their positions and then he asks them to get prepared to fight. After they get ready, they wait and wait until an hour passes. Then suddenly one of their men fire again and again. The enemy shoots back many times. As the battle continues, three of the mutineers fall. Then more shots are fired and four pirates come up the mound to the log house. Then a pirate grabs one of their muskets taking it through the loop hole and stunning the man he took it from. As more people continue to fire the log house fills with smoke and people get confused. Then the captain tells the men to bring out their cutlasses and fight them in the open. After the mutineers retreat, the captain figures out that they still have four people left against nine people.
