Long John Silver is a fictional character in the novel Treasure Island, by Robert Louis Stevenson. Silver is also known by the nicknames "Barbecue" and "the Sea-Cook" (which is also an alternate title for Stevenson's novel).
In Treasure Island, Long John Silver is a pirate and was the ship's quartermaster under the notorious Captain John Flint. Silver was said to have been the only man whom Flint ever feared. Like many of Stevenson's characters, there is more than a modicum of duality in the character; ostensibly Silver is a hard-working and likeable seaman, and it is only as the plot unfurls that his villainous nature is gradually revealed. His relationship with Jim Hawkins, the novel's protagonist, is interesting, as he serves as a mentor and eventually father-figure to Jim, creating much shock and emotion when it is discovered that he is in charge of the mutiny, and especially when Jim must confront him and fight later on. When Silver escapes at the end of the novel, he takes "three or four hundred guineas" of the treasure with him, thus becoming one of only two former members of Captain Flint's crew to get his hands on a portion of the treasure. (The repentant maroonee Ben Gunn is the other, but he spends it all in nineteen days.) Jim's own ambivalence towards Silver is reflected in the last chapter, when he speculates that the old pirate must have settled down in comfortable retirement: "It is to be hoped so, I suppose, for his chances of comfort in another world are very small."

It was the "Hispaniola". Confirm that here under "Plot Summary": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treasure_Island#Plot_summary . Good Luck!
