The Captain's Papers

The horsemen were Customs men. They guarded the coast around Britain. They tried to catch anyone who broke the law. Dr. Livesey brought the Customs men to the inn.

There was a man called Squire Trelawney with Dr. Livesey. He was rich and lived in big white house on the hill outside the village. They asked us many questions. What did the pirates want? asked Dr. Livesey. The old Captain had some money, I said. But They were looking for something else. I think they wanted this leather packet. We opened the back and there was a paper inside. This papers belonged to Captain Flint, the pirate, said Squire Trelawney. The Captain Flint robbed ships and killed men. He was a rich man when he died. But no one knows what happened to all his money.

The paper was a map of an island, some instructions were written on the map. This map shows us where Flint buried his treasure said Squire Trelawney. We are the only ones who knos the secret now, well also the  pirates who came to the inn tonight.

I am a rich man, said Squire Trelawney. I'll pay for the use of a ship. It was ready in  three weeks. We'll sail to this island and find  the treasure.

Dr. Livesey and I will go with the Squire Trelawney to find the treasure.
