Treasure Island - Robert Louis Stevenson
An Unwanted Guest
My story begins when an old sailor came to the Admiral Benbow. That is the name of the inn where I lived with my father. My father was the innkeeper.
Do many people come here?
the old sailor asked my father.
No,
my father told him. It is a very quiet place.
Good,
the old sailor said. Then it is the place for me.
And what is your name, sir?
my father asked him.
"Just call me ‘captain,’" the man said.
He put some gold coins on the table. Tell me when I have spent all these,
he said. Then he went up to the room my father had for him.
Not long after he came to the inn, the Captain said to me, Do you want to earn some money?
Yes, please,
I answered. I was only a boy at the time and never had any money. What do you want me to do?
Keep watch for a man with one leg,
he said. Tell me as soon as you see him. Do that and I’ll give you a coin every week.
At first, the Captain was a very quiet man and did not want to talk to anyone. But there were nights when he drank a lot of rum. Then he talked a lot and became very noisy. He also told stories to the men in the bar of the inn. They were stories about bad men doing bad things.
The more rum the Captain drank, the angrier he became. He shouted and used bad language. He sang the same song over and over again at the top of his voice,
"Fifteen men on the dead man’s chest. Yo-ho-ho! And a bottle of rum."
My father wanted him to leave because some visitors stopped coming to the inn. They were afraid of him. My father was afraid of him, too. So, even when the gold was all spent, my father did not tell him to leave.
Then my father became ill, and Dr. Livesey came to see him. After giving my father some medicine, the doctor came into the bar. While the doctor waited for a man to bring his horse, the Captain started singing.
Fifteen men on a dead man’s chest. Yo-ho-ho! And a bottle of rum,
he sang at the top of his voice.
The doctor was not pleased. He asked the Captain to be quiet. There’s a sick man here,
he said.
The Captain took out his knife and pointed it at the doctor.
Put that knife down, man,
the doctor said. And if you keep drinking rum, you’ll soon be dead.
The Captain was very angry. He began to move toward the doctor. But the doctor was not afraid of him.
Keep away from me,
he said. "I am a magistrate, and if you do anything bad, you will be in trouble."
Then the doctor’s horse came, and he rode away from the inn. For a few days after this, the Captain was quiet.
A Visit from Black Dog
My father did not get better, and I had to do more work in the inn. One morning as I was getting breakfast, a man came in. He had two legs, but he had two fingers missing from his left hand. He asked for rum, and I sold him some.
Is my friend Bill staying here?
he asked.
I don’t know anyone called Bill,
I answered.
What about ‘Captain’?
he asked. He has a cut on the right side of his face.
Yes,
I said. A man we call ‘Captain’ is staying here. He has a cut on his face. But he is out now.
Where is he?
I don’t know,
I
