The pirates think it is the voice of Ben Gunn, but aren't afraid of it even if it happens to be a ghost.  Why?

• No one was afraid of Ben Gunn when he was alive, so why be afraid now?
• Ben Gunn was a very nice guy, so even if he is a ghost he would probably be helpful.
• Ben Gunn is nothing to worry about because he was tiny and weak.
• Ben Gunn was Tom Morgan's best friend so there would be nothing to worry about.
