Бен во время своих долгих одиноких скитаний по острову нашел скелет — это он разыскал его; он нашел сокровище; он выкопал его (это была рукоятка его кирки, которая лежала сломанной в раскопе); он нес его на спине во многих утомительных путешествиях от подножия высокой сосны до пещеры, которую он имел на двухконечном холме в северо-восточном углу острова, и там он лежал в безопасности с двух месяцев до прибытия "Эспаньолы".
