Welcome to Stories Come to Life. I am your host, Kathryn Lopez Luker. Now we have chapters 10, 11 and 12 of Treasure Island. What an exciting thing it is for Jim to be on board the Hispaniola, immersed in the life of the sea! He watches the men march around the capstan bars, hears the boatswain pipe the hands on board, and enjoys the new experiences. Then one day as he has clambered into the open apple barrel that stands in the waist of the ship, he overhears a conversation that makes his blood run cold, and gives him a completely different view of the entire voyage! Now sit back, relax, and listen to this story come to life.
