It is a classic tale of survival and friendship that has stood the test of time.After the murder of the two natives, Talaloo and Ohoo, Fletcher Christian had become very morose. It seemed as if a fit of deep melancholy had taken entire possession of him. His temper had become greatly soured. He would scarcely condescend to hold intercourse with any one, and sought the retirement of his outlook in the cave on the mountain-top, where few of his comrades ventured to disturb him, save when matters of importance claimed his immediate attention.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
