What is the resolution of story treasure island?

The novel's resolution is reached when Jim, Squire, and their allies return to England with the treasure on board the Hispaniola. Jim's mother receives the wealth, and with Jim's newfound wisdom the Hawkins family lives peacefully. Silver flees on shore but the Hispaniola's crew capture Ben Gun and capture Silver when he comes back for him before sailing towards Bristol (leaving Silver stuck on the island forever because they sailed without him). This resolution emphasizes the overall themes the novel introduces of morality, friendship, greed, and growing up which all culminate in a satisfying and just conclusion to Robert Louis Stevenson's adventure masterpiece.
