The pirates jumped on it like cats upon a mouse
‘Well，I'll answer you，’said Silver．‘You all know what I wanted but you wouldn't listen，would you？In
however my plan，we'd be on the Hispaniola now，every dead man alive and the treasure on ship，by thunder！Next，this boy．Well，we'll use him to bargain with．He might be our last chance．And the doctor？You've been glad enough to have a doctor coming to see you every day----you，John，with your head broken…or you，George，sick and shaking with fever only a few hours ago．I made a bargain，that's why I let’em go！’He threw a piece of paper on to the floor．It was the map with the three crosses．
The pirates jumped on it like cats upon a mouse．‘Very pretty，’said George，‘but how are we going to get away with the treasure，when we have no ship？’
‘You tell me，George！’shouted Silver．‘You and the others lost the ship；I found the treasure．But I'll not be your captain any longer！’
