CHAPTER 1. THE OLD SEA-DOG AT THE ADMIRAL BENBOW
SQUIRE TRELAWNEY, Dr. Livesey, and the rest of these gentlemen
having asked me to write down the whole particulars about Treasure
Island, from the beginning to the end, keeping nothing back but the
bearings of the island, and that only because there is still treasure not yet
lifted, I take up my pen in the year of grace 17__ and go back to the time
when my father kept the Admiral Benbow inn and the brown old seaman
with the sabre cut first took up his lodging under our roof.
I remember him as if it were yesterday, as he came plodding to the inn
door, his sea-chest following behind him in a hand-barrow—a tall,
strong, heavy, nut-brown man, his tarry pigtail falling over the shoulder
of his soiled blue coat, his hands ragged and scarred, with black, broken
nails, and the sabre cut across one cheek, a dirty, livid white. I remember
him looking round the cover and whistling to himself as he did so, and
then breaking out in that old sea-song that he sang so often afterwards:
"Fifteen men on the dead man's chest—
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!"
in the high, old tottering voice that seemed to have been tuned and
broken at the capstan bars. Then he rapped on the door with a bit of stick
like a handspike that he carried, and when my father appeared, called
roughly for a glass of rum. This, when it was brought to him, he drank
slowly, like a connoisseur, lingering on the taste and still looking about
him at the cliffs and up at our signboard.
"This is a handy cove," says he at length; "and a pleasant sittyated grogshop. Much company, mate?"
My father told him no, very little company, the more was the pity.
"Well, then," said he, "this is the berth for me. Here you, matey," he cried
to the man who trundled the barrow; "bring up alongside and help up my
chest. I'll stay here a bit," he continued. "I'm a plain man; rum and bacon
and eggs is what I want, and that head up there for to watch ships off.
What you mought call me? You mought call me captain.
