Side 25 - I, however, called as loud as I could, in hopes of assistance ; but they had already secured the officers who were not of their party, by placing sentinels at their doors. There were three men at my cabin door, besides the four within; Christian had only a cutlass in his hand, the others had muskets and bayonets. I was pulled out of bed, and forced on deck in my shirt, suffering great pain from the tightness with which they had tied my hands. I demanded the reason of such violence, but received no...
Side 144 - Down plunged the diver, and soon rose dripping from the water, holding the sea shrub in his hand But he had learned some news at the bottom of the sea. " There are some ship's guns," said he, the moment he had drawn breath, " some great cannon, among the rocks, near where the shrub was growing.

After having undergone a great deal of ridicule, and been kept some time to make sport for these...

Side 28 - It will very naturally be asked : What could be the reason for such a revolt? In answer to which I can only conjecture that the mutineers had flattered themselves with the hopes of a more happy life among the Otaheitans than they could possibly enjoy in England ; and this, joined to some female connections, most probably occasioned the whole transaction.
Side 40 - I also amused all hands with describing the situation of New Guinea and New Holland, and gave them every information in my power, that, in case any accident happened to me, those who survived might have some idea of what they were about, and be able to find their way to Timor, which at present they knew nothing of more than the name, and some not even that.
