- I ran to the side of the ship. "Help, help! Murder!" I screamed, and my uncle slowly turned to look at me. I did not see any more. Already strong hands were pulling me away. Then something hit my head; I saw a great flash of fire, and fell to the ground... ' And so begin David Balfour's adventures. He is kidnapped, taken to sea, and meets many dangers.
