I remember him as if it were yesterday as he came plodding to the inn door	50
"Pew!" he cried, "they've been before us"	51
"Now, Morgan," said Long John, very sternly, "you never clapped your eyes on that Black Dog before, did you, now?"	82
It was something to see him get on with his cooking like someone safe ashore	83

In a moment the four pirates had swarmed up the mound and were upon us	179

To
LLOYD OSBOURNE
An American Gentleman
In accordance with whose classic taste
The following narrative has been designed
It is now, in return for numerous delightful hours
And with the kindest wishes, dedicated
By his affectionate friend
