Other characters in Robert Louis Stevenson's
Treasure
Island include:
BILLY
BONES. Billy Bones is the mysterious and colorful pirate who appears at
the Admiral Benbow Inn and stays for several months, drinking rum all day and telling
stories to anyone who will listen. He takes a liking to young Jim before Billy drops
dead of a stroke.
BEN GUNN.
Ben Gunn is the shipwrecked pirate who inhabits Treasure Island. Ben befriends the
squire and the loyal members of the crew when they arrive and, we find later, that Ben
has already discovered the hidden
treasure.
BLACK DOG. The
first pirate to locate Billy Bones at the Admiral Benbow Inn, Black Dog is distinguished
by his two missing fingers on his left hand. Billy runs him off from the inn, but he
later turns up at Long John Silver's
inn.
CAPTAIN FLINT. Although
he never appears in the book, Flint is the former leader of the pirate crew who has
buried the treasure and left Ben Gunn behind. Silver has named his ever-present parrot
after the captain.
