Treasure Island. Ben Gunn is an ex-crewman of Captain Flint's who has been marooned for three years on Treasure Island by his crewmates, after his failure to find the treasure without the map. During his time alone on the island, Gunn develops an obsessional craving for cheese.
While Ben Gunn is too afraid to confront the pirates on the island by himself, he is wily enough to make powerful friends â Doctor Livesey, in particular â who give him free passage to England and a thousand pounds in exchange for news about the treasure and help in tracking the pirates.n the twentieth day, Ben Gunn is begging again. Not only does this prove how weak-willed Ben Gunn is; it also proves Long John Silver's earlier claim that the problem with all pirates is that they play as hard as they work: Here it is about gentlemen of fortune.
