Dr Livesey came to the fort in the morning as promised.

    "There's a l stranger to see you, Sir," Said Silver.

    "Not Jim?" asked the doctor.

    He entered the house, and t the sick pirate(海盗).

    "I wish to talk to the little boy, please," he said afterwards.

    "Hawkins," said Silver, "Promise that you won't try to escape."

    I agreed. Silver asked the doctor to climb outside the port. He then took me down to talk with him from the fence (栅栏)and left us a.

"Why did you leave, Jim?" the doctor asked me and I told him about the Hispaniola.

    "You always save us, Jim, you e found Ben Gunn. Jump over the fence and r away with me," he begged.

    "I can't. I promised," I said s.

    Then the doctor called Long John Silver over.

    "I'll give you some a," he said. "Don't hurry to look for the treasure."

    "But the only way to save my life and the b is by looking for the treasure."

    "In that case, be ready for problems when you find it," said Dr Livesey. "Keep Jim c beside you, and when you need help, shout."

    He then shook hands with me t the fort fence. He nodded to Silver and went quickly into the woods.
