This rebellion on a British vessel in 1789 sparked the voyages of H.M.S. \u003ci\u003ePandora\u003c\/i\u003e--dispatched to track down the mutineers and return them to England for court-martial--and the \u003ci\u003eMatavy\u003c\/i\u003e, a schooner built by the mutineers in Tahiti.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This is the first book to include eyewitness accounts from five men who endured these voyages. Presented in overlapping, chronological order are the first publication of a narrative by a member of \u003ci\u003eMatavy\u003c\/i\u003e's crew, who vividly describes a desperate struggle to survive with meager provisions among islands filled with hostile natives. A previously unpublished poem by an anonymous sailor on \u003ci\u003ePandora\u003c\/i\u003e recounts the ship's sinking, the survivors' tortuous journey to the Dutch East Indies, and their return to England. The captain's unedited statement on the loss of \u003ci\u003ePandora\u003c\/i\u003e is included and appendices summarize the \u003ci\u003eBounty\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePandora\u003c\/i\u003e courts-martial and the later history of each narrator.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDonald A.
