It all began years ago when an old buccaneer with a sinister scar across his face arrived at my father’s inn. He carried with him an enormous chest which he dragged up to the door. «Hey, boy!» he shouted, «Help the captain. My legs can no longer bear such a heavy load! » | helped him to carry the heavy chest into the inn. Grateful, the old sailor gave me a silver coin and asked me for a bottle of rum to quench his thirst. He finished it in a single gulp. ee ots u ae tt Bw sya 525) Sled dues Lede cclye de Ge tee G3 eee deo 05s ot JH) sees pu die ts ee os dedi e Joes cle 325 3b 4 ail | GotrS)l fis le Bic. ples death fotls ll beat Ske) Ce ee cea lope, Lb ae qt! dels dey: _ doing spending so many long the cliffs. | was dying to know what he was hours gazing through his telescope.

Then the pirates attacked them, and Tom Redruth was shot. They were able to make them retreat, but the old, faithful servant died in the arms of Trelawney, who asked him for forgiveness for having embarked him on such an adventure. The situation was not hopeful: they had barely enough weapons. There were only supplies for ten days.

Finally we got to where the treasure was supposed to be, but there was nothing but a big hole in the ground. The pirates were stunned, as if struck by lightning. Silver reacted quickly and gave me a pistol. The pirates were about to attack us when we heard shots. Two of the pirates fell, and the rest ran away.

Between 1700 and 1807, more than 2,000 ships left Bristol transporting more than half a million slaves from Africa to North America. From Bristol, the slave traders first travelled to Western Africa, where they exchanged manufactured goods for slaves, and then the slaves were sold in exchange for sugar in the Caribbean to work on the sugar plantations. Upon their return to Bristol, they exchan- ged the sugar for manufactured goods and began the journey again. This commerce was very lucrative for the merchant class, which com- missioned expeditions with English Corsairs (a new type of pirate with a legal permit called a corso, «a licence to rob and plunder»). These took the place of the pirates that robbed independently and for their own personal greed, like the pirates of the Hispaniola. In the history of piracy there were also a number of unusual characters like Bartolomé Misson. A romantic French pirate, idealist and defender of justice, he wanted to build a utopian state on an island in the In- dian Ocean. This Quixote of the sea divided his booty equally among his people and allowed the captains of the vessels he captured to go free. Robert Louis Stevenson was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1850. He wrote stories of fantasy and adventure like The Strange Case of Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde or The Black Arrow, which have been made into films or adapted for children’s stories. Highly esteemed both in his time as well as nowadays, he has had a great influence on writers like Borges, Joseph Conrad or Graham Greene. Stevenson wrote Treasure Island when he saw his nephew use watercolours to paint the map of an island. He began to give the island names: Skeleton Island or Spyglass Hill, until finally writing «Treasure Island» in the upper right- hand part of the page. After a long illness («for fourteen years | have not known a single day of health,» he wrote), he died on the Island of Upolu, in the South Pacific, where he was living at the time. Do you think he found his treasure on that island? 68 ob Ope ed ere U3 CHS 1850 ple Usd Sw eal ee Bplay SSS!
