The rest of the chapter is quite interesting. Chapter 18, The Castle of Gold https://librivox.org/uploads/craigdav1...

Chapter 6 is PL OK! He did completely and utterly demolish any romantic or heroic ideas about captain Kid in this one! :lol: Yes, indeed he did. When I was six years old, I had convinced myself that I was Captain Kidd, and went about shouting "Yo-Ho!" and waving my plastic sword. Quite a ...
