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.
