Dead Mans Chest"

Robert Louis Stevenson made this
ditty famous in 'Treasure Island" but
the verses were not his own. Thou
sands of persons have Speculated since
whether the chest was part Of the
anatomy OF q corpse or merely Il sail.
or's box for personal belongings. The
fact is that certain bay in the Carib-
bean islands was known AS Dead
Mans Chest in the days of piracy
because OF It's resemblance TO A sail
Or'S trunk.
The identity of the author of the
ballad Is unknown. Half century
ago il was a popular "chantey" OIL
the merchant ships of those days.
There are dozen stanzas in the
original text, dealing with the wreck
ing Of all English pirate vessel after a
gruesome night of mutiny and murder.
Stevenson did not plagiarize in
using the verse, for he merely put into
the mouth OF one OF his characters q
few lines that were at that time known
all over the seven seas.
