Treasure Island (Illustrated)
An old sailor named Billy Bones comes to lodge in the rural Admiral Benbow Inn on the West English coast. A former shipmate, Black Dog, confronts Bones and engages in a violent fight with him. After Black Dog is run off, a blind beggar named Pew visits to give Bones "the black spot" as a summons to share a map leading to buried treasure. Shortly thereafter, Bones suffers a stroke and dies. Pew and his accomplices attack the inn, but Jim and his mother save themselves while taking Bones's sea chest. Inside the chest, they find a map of an island on which the infamous pirate Captain Flint hid his treasure. Jim shows the map to the local physician Dr. Livesey and the district squire John Trelawney, and they decide to make an expedition to the island, with Jim serving as a cabin boy. They set sail on Trelawney's schooner, the Hispaniola, under Captain Smollett. Much of the crew, as it is later revealed, are pirates who served under Captain Flint, most notable of which is the ship's one-legged chef "Long John" Silver.

A Christmas Sermon
By the time this paper appears, I shall have been talking for twelve months; and it is thought I should take my leave in a formal and seasonable manner. Valedictory eloquence is rare, and death-bed sayings have not often hit the mark of the occasion. Charles Second, wit and sceptic, a man whose life had been one long lesson in human incredulity, an easy-going comrade, a manoeuvring king—remembered and embodied all his wit and scepticism along with more than his usual good humour in the famous "I am afraid, gentlemen, I am an unconscionable time a-dying."

Die Schatzinsel (Illustrated)
Im ländlichen englischen Gasthaus „Admiral Benbow“ in der Nähe von Bristol quartiert sich ein alter Seemann ein, William „Bill“ Bones. Jim Hawkins, der Ich-Erzähler des Romans und Sohn des Gastwirtspaares, hält für den trunksüchtigen Bones Ausschau nach einem Einbeinigen, den dieser offenbar fürchtet. Als Bones eines Nachts von einem Seemann, Der Schwarze Hund genannt, aufgesucht wird, kommt es zu einem fürchterlichen Streit zwischen den beiden. Nachdem der Schwarze Hund geflohen ist, erscheint der blinde Bettler Pew bei Bones und überreicht ihm ein Papier mit einem „schwarzen Fleck“, der seine Absetzung bedeutet. Kurz darauf bricht Bones nach einem Schlaganfall tot zusammen. Noch in derselben Nacht überfällt Pew mit seinen Spießgesellen das Gasthaus. Jim kann sich mit seiner Mutter im letzten Moment retten, nicht ohne zuvor heimlich ein Päckchen aus der Seemannskiste von Bones an sich genommen zu haben. Darin befindet sich die Karte einer Insel, auf der sich der Schatz des berüchtigten Piraten Captain Flint befinden soll. Jim Hawkins zeigt die Karte seinem väterlichen Freund, dem Arzt Doktor Livesey, und dem Gutsherrn und Friedensrichter John Trelawney, die daraufhin beschließen, eine Expedition zu jener Insel zu unternehmen. Jim soll als Schiffsjunge ebenfalls mitreisen. Als Expeditionsschiff dient die Hispaniola unter Kapitän Smollett. Später stellt sich heraus, dass man, ohne es zu ahnen, auch einige Mitglieder von Captain Flints ehemaliger Piraten-Crew mit angeheuert hat, allen voran den einbeinigen Schiffskoch Long John Silver.
