Welcome to Send Me to Sleep, The place to find relaxing stories for a good night's rest.

My name's Andrew. Thanks for joining me.

Tonight I'll be reading Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson

Part 3, chapters 13 to 15. In the last chapters, the voyage started ominously

as the crew discovers their first mate, Mr. Arrow, is an unreliable drunk who mysteriously disappears,

leading to his replacement by Joe Banderson.

Jim, intrigued by Long John Silver and his old parrot,

overhears a crucial conversation while hiding in an apple barrel.

He learns that Silver and much of the crew are actually pirates plotting to seize the treasure.

As the ship nears the island, Jim reveals the conspiracy to Captain Smalet and Trelawney, who regretfully

acknowledge their mistake in trusting Silver, and they covertly prepare

to face their imminent threat.

Now you're caught up with the story so far. Let's get ready for a peaceful night's sleep.

Start by taking a deep, relaxing breath.

And settle your body in whatever way feels most comfortable.

Now let any thoughts of the day drift away from your mind and simply follow the sound of my voice.

Now let your eyes fall heavy, and your breath soften.

As we settle in for a peaceful night's sleep. Part 3. My Shore Adventure. Chapter 13. How I began my shore adventure.
