Chapter 15 The Man of the Island
- Jim meets the very strange Ben Gunn.
- Ben tells his story says he was on Captain Flint’s ship.
- He has been marooned on the island for three years
Script:
“I'm poor Ben Gunn. I haven't spoken with an Englishman for three years.”
His appearance was most extraordinary. Beneath his tattered clothes and, his pale skin, wherever it was exposed, was burnt by the sun. Around his waist, he wore an old brass-buckled leather belt.
“Three years!” I cried. “Were you shipwrecked?”
“No, mate,” said he. “I was marooned.”
