  • Description

    An important firsthand narrative of one of the most infamous mutinies in American naval history, compiled by two of the few survivors of the event itself and its aftermath. The Globe was taken over near the Line Islands, four of the officers were murdered, and the remainder of the crew were forced by pain of death to join the mutineers.

    The crew then proceeded to the Marshall Islands and thence to the Mulgrave Islands, where the leader of the original mutiny was killed, and some of the party escaped to Valparaiso. Lay and Hussey remained on the Mulgrave Islands and were the sole survivors of an attack on their party by natives. They were eventually rescued by a war vessel sent in pursuit of the mutineers.áHOWES L158. SABIN 39467. AMERICAN IMPRINTS 3386. HILL 990. FORBES 697.
