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 
1700 and go back to the time when my father kept the 
Admiral Benbow inn and the brown old seaman with the 
Saber cut first took up his lodging under our roof. 
  I remember him as if it were yesterday, as he came 
walking 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 saber cut across one cheek, which showed
as a dirty livid white. I remember him looking round the corner 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!’
