Treasure Island

Chapter 11 Seven hundred thousand pounds of treasure gone! The men stood as though struck.Silver recovered instantly. He kept his head, and began to make plans.“Jim,” he whispered, “take that, and standby for trouble.” He passed me a double-barrelled pistol. I clung to it, beginning to tremble.The buccaneers, with oaths and cries, began to leap, […]

Chapter 10 “Jim,” said Silver, “if I saved your life, you saved mine. I’ll not forget it. I saw the doctor waving you to run for it. With the tail of my eye I saw you tell him no. You and me must stick close now Jim. We’ll save our necks in spite of fate

Chapter 9 “Bring a torch, Dick,” called Silver.

Chapter 2 The captain’s death was the second I had known, and sorrow filled my heart. I stood for a moment feeling more sad than afraid. When I realized the danger which threatened us I ran for my mother. I told her what the captain had told me. If I went for Dr. Livesey as

Chapter 1 Squire Trelawney, Dr. Livesey and the rest of these gentlemen having asked me to write down the whole story of Treasure Island, keeping nothing back but the location of the island, and that only because there is still treasure, I take up my pen in the year 17, and go back to the
