My mother and I opened the chest and found a suit of clothes, a compass, four pistols, a bar of silver, and at the bottom a bundle of papers in oilskin. Mother wanted only what the captain owed us, and she was still counting when we heard the tapping of the blind man's stick outside. We ran out of the house and hid under the little bridge. The pirates broke into the inn, looking for Flint's papers, and they were furious to find nothing. Then horses came down the road, the crew scattered, and the blind man was ridden down and killed. I took the papers to Doctor Livesey, who was at the hall with Squire Trelawney. Inside the oilskin was a map of an island, with three red crosses and Flint's writing beside them: bulk of treasure here. The squire swore he would fit out a ship in Bristol, and I should come as cabin boy.
