At the first island on which they landed to replenish their stores they were surrounded by savages, and a massacre of the entire company was barely averted. During the days that followed, Blight, whatever his failings as a man, proved himself a great leader. Steering by dead reckoning, cheering on his weak and storm soaked men, keeping the strongest everlastingly bailing out the overladed boat, avoiding under cover of night the inhabited islands and the war canoes, dolling out the pitiful food with patient fortitude, Captain Bligh never for a moment relaxed his iron determination to reach the East Indies."

Description: Wyeth Edition Very good+ in its original blue cloth covered boards with tarnished gilt text and decorations on the spine and with a bark circled with a compass rose in gilt on the front board and with map end sheets. A small octavo of 8 by 5 1/2 inches with a gift inscription on the first free end page and with light rubbing to the cloth at the tips of the boards. In a good+, unclipped dust jacket with 1/3 inch deep chips from the upper edge of the spine area, several closed tears to the panels some of which have been repaired with cellophane tape. This is the rather uncommon Wyeth Edition so named because of the frontispiece and 10 color plates from paintings by N. C. Wyeth. 903 pages of text and with illustrations by N. C. Wyeth as aforesaid. A testament to the strong binding and care this copy has seen is the fact that such a thick book has not suffered a concave spine which is so common with books of this length.
