"Mr. Trelawney, Dr. Livesey, and the rest of the gentlemen have asked me to describe our voyage to Treasure Island from beginning to end, concealing nothing but the exact location of the island, and that too only because there is still unearned treasure there. Thus I take up the pen in this year of salvation 17... and transport myself back to the time when my father kept the inn at the "Admiral Benbow", and when the tanned old sailor with the saber scar on his face first took up residence under our roof."
