THE OLD SEA DOG
BY R.L Stevenson
1. a) Admiral Benbow Inn was run by the narrator’s father.
b) The inn was situated in a quiet countryside in Scotland.
c) The captain’s stories were frightening and dreadful as they involved hanging, walking the plank,
and storms at sea.
d) The captain had offered the narrator a silver four-penny on the first of every month if he kept
his eyes open for a seafaring man with one leg and let the captain know when he came. He took
the money but was terrified by the idea of the seafaring man with one leg.
e) A party of younger men who visited the inn and heard the captain’s stories called
him a ‘true sea-dog’. They called him that because even though his stories were
frightening, they liked hearing them because it was a fine excitement in a quiet country life.
f) The narrator says this because the captain stayed on at the inn for several months
and all the money he had paid at the beginning was long exhausted. However, his
father was never able to pluck up the courage to ask him for more money, and when
he did ask for it eventually, the captain blew through his nose very loudly and stared
him out of the room.
