In this chapter, they return to England.
The very next morning everyone, except the mutineers, work on loading the boat with the treasure. After the gold is loaded, they decide to leave the mutineers on the island with supplies. As they are sailing out, they see the mutineers on the shore, crying for help. After the mutineers realize they are not coming back, one of them shoots and shoots. When they eventually no longer see the island, they ride to Spanish America as England is not close enough for them to reach with the supplies. While there, Silver takes a small portion of the treasure and leaves with a note. They then go back to England and they each spend their share of the treasure in different ways. However, Jim can still hear Captain Flint singing in his ears, “Pieces of eight! Pieces of eight!”
