About This Book

The volume presents the commander’s reports and the surgeon’s journal of a naval expedition sent to apprehend mutineers in the South Seas, tracing the outward passage, island encounters, and the ship’s charted discoveries. It details the capture and confinement of suspected mutineers, the vessel’s subsequent loss, and the desperate voyages of survivors to nearby islands and ports. Interspersed are navigational logs, medical observations, and practical notes on provisioning, discipline, and the risks of long Pacific voyaging, concluding with the survivors’ passages to colonial ports and the homeward return.
