To Sea!

19

The next day, the squire left for Bristol. He took three of his most honest servants with him to be part of the crew of our ship. As they were leaving, Dr Livesey said to the squire, 'Don't tell anyone about the treasure map. The pirales who searched the Admiral Benbow want that map, and they know that Jim has it. All their friends on the ship probably know it now too. We must be very careful.' Don't worry,' said ihe squire. 'I won't say a word.' 1 stayed at Dr üvesey's house, because the doctor was afraid that the pirales wouid come back to find me and ihe ireasure map. Afler ihree weeks, we received a letter from the squire:

My dear Uvesey and Hawkins,

Finaíly everything is ready for our sea adventure! Everyone here has helped me. As soon os / teil them why we need the ship, they do aíl they can to help us! l've bought afine ship callea the 'Híspaniola', and l'vefound an excelient crew. Fortunately, the day / bought the ship t met a man called Long John Silver. He's an old sailor, married to a woman he met on his travels. He knows all the sailors in Bristol. I like the man and feel sorry for him, because he has only one leg, so I've hired ' him as the ship's cook. He has helped me to find other crew members. Come to Bristol as quickly as you can, and we'll sail the next day! Yours, John Tretawney

Two things about this letter worried me: first, it was clear that the squire had told people about the treasure map; and, secondly, I was afraid that Long John Silver might be the same one-legged sailor the captain had mentioned. But I was so excited about going to sea that soon 1 stopped thinking about these things and thought only of the wonderful adventures ahead. That last night before we went to Bristol, I stayed with my mother at the Admiral Benbow. The squire had bought new furniture for the inn and had hired a boy to help my mother while I was gone. It was only when I saw that boy that 1 fully realised that I was leaving my home, but I had no time to feel sad. The next morning, the doctor and I went to Bristol. We went straight to the port. ! looked around in amazement. There were great ships from every nation and sailors with gold earrings and long pigtails. The air smelled of the salty sea. To me it was the smell of adventure! The squire showed us round the Hispaniola. It was a fine ship, and the crew smiled and waved2 at us as we came on board. The squire introduced me to Long John Silver. He was a big tall man with a crutch under one arm and a parrot on his shoulder. He had a big pale face, bright eyes and blond hair. The squire said to me, 'Jirn, you stay here with Long John while I show the doctor my cabin.' The squire and the doctor went off together, probably to drink a glass of wine in the squire's cabin to celebrate our first evening on board. ! stood on the deck ' with Long John, and he told me about all the ships we could see at the port. He was a friendly man, and soon 1 felt sure that he wasn't the one-legged sailor of the captain's stories and my bad dreams. I knew what kind of men pirates were: they were cruel and violent, not at all like this kind, friendly, smiling man. As Long John was talking, I suddenly saw Black Dog in the crowd below us in the port. He saw me and ran away. 'Look!' I cried, interrupting Long John. 'That's Black Dog! He's a pirate!' Long John Silver looked in the direction 1 was pointing, with a look of great surprise on his face. 'A pirate? Is he really? What did you say his name was?' 'Black Dog!'

20

'Ah, yes! I've often seen him with another man — a blind man,' said Longjohn. 'That's Pew!' I cried. 'I think you're right. Yes, 1 think his name's Pew,' said Long John in amazement. 'Well, you're a clever boy. I think we'll be great friends, you and I.' That evening, I helped Long John prepare dinner. While he was cooking, Longjohn put his parrot in a cage in the ship's kitchen. 'I call my parrot Captain Flint, like the famous pirate,' said Longjohn, smiling. The parrot suddenly squawked ' and cried, 'Pieces of eight! Pieces of eight!'1

After dinner, Long John and the rest of the crew sat on the deck. Longjohn started singing a song I knew well, and then the crew sang along with him:

Fifteen men on the Dead Man's Chest, Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!

Early the next morning, the Hispaniola left the port and sailed out into the open sea. Our voyage was very pleasant. The Hispaniola sailed on through sunny days and starry nights. One evening, after we had been at sea for three weeks, Mr Trelawney told us that we were close to the island. I stood on the deck with the rest of the crew, looking at the horizon, hoping to see land. Then 1 went down to the kitchen to get an apple. There was a big barrel in the kitchen, nearly as tall as I was. It had been full of apples at the start of the voyage, but now there were only a few left. 1 climbed into the barrel to get an apple, then I sat down in the barrel to eat it. After a few minutes, I heard two people come into the kitchen. They were talking, and I recognised one was Long John Silver. I was going to stand up and show myself, but when I heard what Long John Silver was saying, I stayed where I was and was very quiet. 'I was the cook on Old Flint's ship, said Long John. 'We had some great adventures in those days.' 'I hear Captain Flint was the best!' said the other man, and I recognised his voice. He was a young sailor in the crew called Dick. 'Yes,' said Long John. 'Flint was the best pirate captain, but he wasn't the strongest man on that ship. He was afraid of me. I had more control of the crew than he had. Most of them are here, now, on this ship, ready for a new adventure. The life of the pirate is the best life, Dick! It's dangerous, and you might finish up dead like Pew, but, if not, you can end your days as rich as a gentleman, with lots of good stories to tell your grandchildren. So, what do you say? Are you with us or against us?' 'I'm with you, John!' said Dick. 'When do you plan to take over' the ship?' 'Not yet,' said Long John. 'Livesey and Trelawney have the map. We'll let them lead us to the treasure, and then we'll kill them!' Inside the apple barrel, I held my breath.2 I realised that the lives of all honest men on the ship now depended on me alone. Just then a voice from the deck cried, 'Land Ho!'3

'I know a girl who needs a husband,' Hortensio said. 'Her name's Katharina. She's young and pretty, and her father's rich. But I'm afraid she's very bad-tempered.' 'That's alright,' Petruchio said. 'I'm not afraid of shrews. Take me to her house! I want to meet her.' 'We can go there immediately,' Hortensio said. 'But you must do me a favour in return.' 'Of course, my friend!' Petruchio said. 'Katharina has a younger sister called Bianca. She's the sweetest, most beautiful girl in Padua. 1 want to court her but her father has locked her in the house. He says that Katharina must marry before Bianca can receive suitors. But Katharina will never find a husband. She's so bad-tempered!' 'I'm not afraid of shrews,' Petruchio replied, 'if she's rich, she'll be the perfect wife for me.' 'No, Petruchio! You don't understand. She's really horrible!' 'Don't worry, my friend! I'll tame her. Now, how can I help?' 'Well, I have a plan,' Hortensio told him. 'I'm going to disguise 3 myself as a music teacher. I'll come to the house with you and you must say that I'm your friend. Baptista is looking for a teacher for his daughters so I'll offer to give them lessons.' 'Now 1 understand! Then you'll see Bianca every day!' 'Yes!' Hortensio replied.

23

'Alright, I agree. Let's go!' At Baptista's house, Katharina was tormenting4 her sister. They were in their bedroom. Bianca's hands were tied behind her back and Katharina was shouting at her. 'Come on! Tell me! Which suitor do you prefer? Handsome, young Hortensio or rich, old Gremio?' 'I don't like either of them, Katharina! Please untie my hands!' 'Is it Hortensio? ' 'No, no!' poor Bianca cried, 'if you like him, you can have him! But please untie my hands!' Just then the door opened and Baptista came in. 'Katharina! Stop tormenting your sister!' he said. 'Untie her hands immediately! Why can't you behave better? Why can't you be more like Bianca?' This made Katharina angry. 'She's always been your favourite, hasn't she?' “Iis it surprising?' Baptista said. 'Now go back to your lessons, both of you, please!'Katharina pushed Bianca out of the room. 'I must marry so that you can have a husband!' she said angrily to her sister. 'Oh dear! What am I going to do with her?' Baptista said when he was alone.There was a knock at the door and a servant came in. 'These two gentlemen would like to see you, sir,' he said.Petruchio and Hortensio, who was disguised as a musician, were standing behind him. 'Good morning, Signer!' 5 Petruchio said. '! hear you have a pretty daughter called Katharina. I'd like to court her.' 'I think you mean my daughter Bianca,' Baptista said sadly.'Katharina is not your type of girl.' 'No, Signor. I mean Katharina,' Petruchio continued. 'But perhaps you say that she isn't my type because you don't want to lose her.' 'Oh — no, no,' Baptista replied quickly. 'I meant that Katharina isn't like most other girls, that's all.' Then Petruchio remembered Hortensio. 'Oh, this is my friend Litio. He's an excellent music teacher. And he can teach mathematics too. He'd like to offer his services to your daughters.' 'Oh, -er, well, thank you Signor —er?' 'Petruchio. From Verona.' 'Oh yes, I knew your father Antonio,' Baptista said. 'Well, Signor Litio, you look like a serious young man. You can start immediately. My daughters are in the library. My servant will take you there.'Then he turned to Petruchio and said, 'So, you're interested in Katharina.' 'Yes, Signor. I'd like to marry her, with your permission of course,' Petruchio replied. 'But you don't know her,' Baptista said. 'If you're looking for an obedient6 wife, Signor Petruchio, Katharina isn't the gir! for you.' 'I'll tame her,' Petruchio said. 'How big is her dowry?' 'Twenty thousand crowns.'7

'Good! I'm sure she'il be the perfect wife for me.' The door opened and Hortensio came in. There was a big cut on his head and blood was running down his face. 'Katharina hit me with her lute,'8 he said sadly. 'I don't know what I did wrong.' Petruchio laughed. 'I can't wait to meet her,' he said. '1 love women with spirit.'9

24

Til go and get her for you,' Baptista said. While he was waiting for them, Petruchio decided how to deal with Katharina. 'When she's rude to me, I'll be nice to her,' he decided. 'When she shouts at me, I'll tell her she has a beautiful voice. When she hits me, I'll kiss her. I'll show her that I'm her master. She'll soon stop behaving badly and become an obedient wife!' Katharina came in and looked at him angrily. Petruchio smiled at her and took her hand. 'Hello, Kate!' he said. 'That's your name, isn't it?' 'People usually call rne Katharina,' she replied sharply and pulled her hand back. 'I prefer the name Kate,' he said. 'I've heard a lot about you but you are much sweeter than I imagined. I'd like to marry you.'
