Silver takes a drink of cognac and then asks Jim why the doctor has given the treasure map to the mutineers he sees by Jim's expression that Jim has no idea why.ДЄs Chapter 29 ('The Black Spot Again') opens, the pirates reenter the blockhouse and, with some trepidation, hand something to Silver - the 'black spot,' marked on a page young Dick has torn from his Bible (thus cursing himself with bad luck, Silver says). The two of them must stand together, he says, or the men will kill Jim unless Silver persuades them not to, and Silver will be hanged unless Jim testifies in his behalf for having saved his life. The five go outside, and Silver tells Jim that they intend to overthrow him. They confer, and another man, Merry, claims their right (by rules of piracy) to hold a council. One of the others, Morgan, wants to kill Jim, but Silver argues against it and challenges the five men to defy him if they dare. Jim says he has killed Hands and O'Brien and hidden the ship. Jim fears that his friends are dead, and is reassured when Silver says they are not - that they bargained with the pirates after both groups found that the ship was no longer in the anchorage. When a torch is brought for light (Chapter 28, 'In the Enemy's Camp'), Jim finds himself standing among the six remaining pirates, Silver and five others, one of whom was wounded in the attack.
