After lunch，the squire and the doctor sat by the captain's side and talked.Then，a little past noon，the doctor took his hat，his pistols and a sword，put the map in his pocket，and walked off quickly through the trees.
I guessed he was going to see Ben Gunn，and thought the doctor was lucky to be walking in the cool shadows of the wood.The house was hot and smelt of blood，and there were dead bodies lying all around.Suddenly，I wanted to get away from that place－and I had an idea！I would go and look for Ben Gunn's boat！Perhaps we would need it some time.That was my excuse to myself，although I knew it was wrong of me to leave only two unwounded men to guard the stockade.It was also wrong of me to leave secretly，but that is what I did.
I filled my pockets with bread，then took two pistols and the powder for them.When Gray and Mr Trelawney were helping the captain，I climbed quickly out of the stockade and ran into the trees.
I made my way towards the east coast.It was late in the afternoon，but still warm.Soon cool air began to reach me，and suddenly there was the sea.I walked along the edge，then up to a small sandcovered hill.
Ben Gunn had told me his boat was hidden near the white rock，and I found that rock farther along the beach.The little boat was hidden in the grass—a small，rough thing，made of wood and goatskins.
I knew I should go back to the stockade now，but an idea came to me and I sat down to wait for darkness.As the last of the day disappeared，there were two lights in the blackness.One came from a great fire on the shore where the pirates sat singing and drinking；the other came from the Hispaniola out at sea.
I put the small boat on my shoulders and carried it to the edge of the water，then I put it in the sea.It was a very safe boat，but difficult to control.It turned every way except the one I wanted to go!
The sea carried me out to the Hispaniola.I knew if I cut the anchor rope at the wrong moment，the Hispaniola would make a sudden move out to sea，and my boat might be knocked out of the water.So I took my knife and cut almost through the rope，then waited，listening to the sound of two loud voices coming from the cabin.Both men sounded drunk，and both were angry.
At last the wind turned the ship towards me and now I cut all the way through the rope.As fast as I could，I pushed my little boat along the side of the ship，desperate to get away before the ship crashed into me.Just as I gave the final push，my hand found a rope over the end of the ship.
I don't know why I took hold of the rope，but I did.I pulled my boat near to the ship，then stood up to see through the cabin window.I had wondered why the two men weren't on deck，but one look through the window gave me my answer.It was Israel Hands and the man in the red cap，now locked in battle，each with a hand round the other's neck.
I dropped down in the boat again，looking over my shoulder at the shore.And there，right behind me，was the pirate's fire on the beach！Then the wind，with sudden violence，turned the Hispaniola，and my little boat with it，and we were both sailing fast into the open sea.
