Explain how Ben Gunn came around to be marooned on this island. be SPECIFIC. chapter 15

He was left on the island by buccaneers (marooned), had been there for three years, and stayed alive by eating goats, berries, and oysters.

"I had heard the word, and I knew it stood for a horrible kind of punishment common enough among the buccaneers, in which the offender is put ashore with a little powder and shot and left behind on some desolate and distant island.

"Marooned three years agone," he continued, "and lived on goats since then, and berries, and oysters. Wherever a man is, says I, a man can do for himself. But, mate, my heart is sore for Christian diet. You mightn't happen to have a piece of cheese about you, now? No? Well, many's the long night I've dreamed of cheese--toasted, mostly--and woke up again, and here I were."

** Just to let you know.......... when we see answers (a number) nest to the questions, we think (or at least I think) they've already been answered. Sorry about that!
