Black Dog Appears and Disappears 

One January morning while the captain was walking on the beach a man came into the inn. He was pale, he was missing two fingers on the left hand, and he also wore a sword, but did not look muck like a fighter. The man asked if the captain was there and the boy said that he was. And he asked if the table that he was at reserved for the captain. The boy said that the table wasn’t reserved to nobody. The man asked where the captain was and the boy told him that he was walking on the beach.

Then the stranger saw the captain coming and grabbed the boy and hid behind the front door. When the captain came through he passed him and the stranger said Bill. The captain spun around and shouted Black Dog. They said some words and sat down at the same table and asked for some rum. They talked and argued for a long time until they stood up and the captain stuck the man called black dog. The man ran away and the captain followed. The man got away. The captain collapsed onto the floor. The doctor ended up cutting his vein and making the captain lose a lot of blood. The method worked because the captain lived. They laid the captain down on his bed and told him to rest.

Chapter 3

The Black Spot 

If the captain drank any more he had a very good chance of dieing. But when the boy came to the captain’s room to give some medicine the captain begged the boy for some rum. The boy kept on telling the captain that if he drank he would probably die. Then the captain offered the boy some money. The boy said that he did not want any of he captain’s money but what he owed for all of the other stuff. . He said that he would get him one glass of rum but that was it. Then the captain asked how long he was supposed to stay in bed and the boy told him that he was supposed to stay in bed for a week. The captain was furious when he heard that he said that by then they would have already have put the black spot on him. Then the boy asked what was the black spot and the captain said that he would tell him if they get that, and he told the boy to look for any seafaring men and he would tell him his secrets. That night the boy’s father died and the next couple of days the people working at the inn did not pay much attention to the captain. One day the boy walked out of the inn and saw a man walking down the street and he could tell that he was blind because he had a stick going side to side in front of him. The blind man worked his way in the street until he was in front of the inn. Then he said loudly where am I. The boy told the man that he was in front of the Admiral Benbow, Black Hill Cove. Then the man asked the boy if he would take his hand and lead him in. He squeezed the boy’s hand and told him to lead him to the captain. Out of fear the boy lead the blind man to where the captain. On the way the man told the boy when they got to the captain to say “Here is a friend of yours Bill” and the man said that if the boy did not he would bread his arm. When they got to the table where the captain was at the boy did as he was told. The captain slowly looked up and saw the blind man and tried to get up but the man told him to sit down. The blind man told the boy to take the captains left hand and bring it close to his right. The boy did as he was told and he saw the man pass something to the captain’s hand his hand closed down on it. Then the blind man got up left. It was some time until the boy let go of the captain’s hand and the captain looked at what was in it and said “Ten a clock, six hours we’ll do them yet. Then he sprang to his feet and put his hand onto his throat, and swayed a little and fell onto the floor dead. The boy suddenly ran up to his mom upstairs.
