      THE

      PIRATE'S POCKET BOOK

      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).

      Nobody knew how old he was. Some said that he was so old that he had never been born.

      Some said that he must be young or he could not be so wicked.

      So you see there were two opinions about him.

      There are always two opinions about a celebrated man.

      If you look at him you will see that he dressed to please himself.
