To George, Barbara and James BYAM SHAW with my love . 1907.


This book you hold in your hand belonged once to a very celebrated Pirate.
He was so celebrated that the newspapers—of that time—always said nice things about him, and always knew what he was doing before he did himself. As he was a very truthful man, he did the things, so that the editors might not get into trouble.
Which was kind.
By which I do not mean that he was always kind.
Map of Tomb's Island ( very exciting ).
