THE MUTINEERS
_A tale of old days at sea and of adventures in the Far East as Benjamin
Lathrop set it down some sixty years ago_
by Charles Boardman Hawes
_Illustrated_
_To_ D.C.H.
_TO PAY MY SHOT_
_To master, mate, and men of the ship Hunter, whose voyage is the backbone
of my story; to Captain David Woodard, English mariner, who more than a
hundred and twenty years ago was wrecked on the island of Celebes; to
Captain R.G.F. Candage of Brookline, Massachusetts, who was party to the
original contract in melon seeds; and to certain blue-water skippers who
have left sailing directions for eastern ports and seas, I am grateful for
fascinating narratives and journals, and indebted for incidents in this
tale of an earlier generation._
