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.
[Illustration: 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.
[Illustration: Supposed birthplace of Tomb family. Family of Bone still
living in the cottage.]
He wore a nice hat--but you have noticed that; and he had a roving eye.
By which I do not mean his eye walked about like this, but that he
looked around him a good deal.
[Illustration]
If you are thinking of becoming a Pirate--and there is plenty of room at
the top of every profession--you will have to look about a good deal,
because you will have enemies.
[Illustration: _He dreams of other worlds to conquer._]
Tom Tomb--that was not his name, but it was the way he signed other
people's cheques, and your father and mother will tell you that this is
a very mean trick--lived partly on an island, and partly on board the
_Inky Murk_.
[Illustration]
You will understand that I mean not with one foot on the island and one
on the boat, but sometimes on one and sometimes on the other.
[Illustration]
Now T. T. never robbed the poor.
[Illustration]
Because it was not worth his while.
[Illustration]
[Illustration]
But any person who looked rich suffered accordingly.
[Illustration]
The _Inky Murk_ was the name of his boat. You can make one curiously
like it with two chairs and a rug.
[Illustration]
One day Tomb captured a young fellow--a very handsome lad too.
It was off a certain island where Tom Tomb had a neat cottage, in the
garden of which he grew flowers for a pastime.
