Allison, titled "Derelict", published in the Louisville Courier-Journal in 1891. The song was expanded into a 3-verse poem by Young E. Regardless, the words of the lyric help advance the storyline. Stevenson does not make clear if this lyric is part of "Dead Man's Chest" or another fictional song entirely. In Treasure Island, Stevenson only wrote the chorus, leaving the remainder of the song unwritten, and to the reader's imagination:
As Stevenson once said, " Treasure Island came out of Kingsley's At Last: A Christmas in the West Indies (1871) where I got the 'Dead Man's Chest'-that was the seed." That is, Stevenson saw the three words "Dead Man's Chest" in Kingsley's book among a list of names, germinating in Stevenson's mind it was the "seed", which then grew into the novel. Stevenson found the name "Dead Man's Chest" among a list of Virgin Island names in a book by Charles Kingsley, possibly in reference to the Dead Chest Island off Peter Island in the British Virgin Islands. It has since been used in many later works of art in various forms.
