Flint's Pointer — The Skeleton

From Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson
The grisly discovery of a skeleton laid out as a directional pointer evokes Flint's cruelty and the Gothic atmosphere of the island.
Chapter 31

The pirates find a skeleton (Allardyce) deliberately positioned by Flint to point toward the treasure: 'This is Flint's, sure enough.' Silver: 'I never knew a man with so little reverence.'
