Dr.Liversey and mr.trelawney have asked me to write down the story of treasure Island. I am glad to do so. I shall write the write tha whole story from the beginning to the end. However I cannot tell you where treasure Island is, became some treasure is still there. I myself shall never go back there. Never! Once is enough for me!

 The story begin in the year 1760 full stop my father was then the inn- keeper at the Admiral benbow Inn. I was here strong lad of 15 . I helped my father who was then a very sick man. One cold winter's day ,an old seeman knocked at the inn-door and called for a glass of rum. He stood drinking it in the door way looking out toward the sea."this is a nice, quiet spot,"he said."Do many people come here?

“Very few I am sorry to say,” my father told him the old seeman finished  his rum."this is the place for me he said," I will stay here." then he shouted to a boy who was pushing a truck with is sea chest on it," carry that upstairs!"he rubbed his hands, like a man will satisfied he began to sing in your high shaking voice:

“Fifteen men are the dead man's chest, Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!”

We were always glad to have a guest in the inn, but we did not like this seaman at all. We were afraid to him his appearance was fierce. He had white scar down his right cheek. He was dirty and his clothes were torn. He almost an ever spoke to anybody till he was drunk. Every evening he was drunk and when he was drunk he could tell wild stories of wicked deeds of murder,robbery,vengeance,and death. Everybody in the inn had to listen.if not, he could draw his knife.“I will cut your throat!" he could say." I will tears you heart out!"my father feared that he could drive all respectable people away from the in but no the villages still come as before although they were afford of seeman they liked the excitement of his stories.

Our guest never paid my father for his Boarding and lodging my poor father was afraid to ask him for payment he never old as his name call me captain that will do he said

If I was not long before I discovered that the captain himself was afford to something he spent most day walking by the sea he used to stand on your high Rock looking out to see through his spy glass when he come home in the evening he used to ask ask ask any seem on being here? Have you seen any seaman on the road? he said to me once , "jim,you are a smart Lag keep a close watch all the time. if you see man with only one leg tell me at once I will give you on the first of every month for your trouble from is and I also I kept my eyes open near the captain was afrad of dr.liversey too. The doctor had come quite often to the inn because my poor father grew weaker as the weather grew worse. One evening both dr.livesey and the captain were in the parlour.the captain had been drinking heavily,as usual.he was shouting his wicked tales and using dirty language.

“stop that!”cried the doctor sharply.

The captain looked at him fiercely, drew his knife and threatened to throw it at the doctor.there was dead silence in the inn-parlour.the villagers dared not speak or move ,dr.liversey's voice broke the silence,he said quietly but firmly,"I have two things to say to you. First if you go on drinking rum as you or doing you will soon be dead secondly if you do not stop your wicked walk I will make a complaint I am a magistrate as well as a doctor and I mean what I say you will be hanged if you go on like this.

The captain started at him fiercely.then his eyes dropped and he fell silent.for many evenings after that,he was unusually quiet he did not stop his drinking but he stopped his wicked talk…….
