A bloody mutiny on a whaling journey, followed by an incredible tale of survival on land and sea. Samuel Comstock knew he was born to do some great thing, but his only legacy was a reign of terror. Two years out of Nantucket on a whaling voyage, he organized a mutiny and murdered the officers of the Globe. It was a premeditated act: in his sea chest Comstock carried the seeds and tools with which he would found his own island kingdom. Witness and chronicler of the mutiny was Comstock s horrified brother. Within days of settling on Mili Atoll in the Marshall Islands, Comstock was murdered by his fellow mutineers. Six innocent seamen, including Comstock s brother, seized the Globe and escaped; most of the rest were killed by natives. Two survivors lived for twenty-two months, half-prisoners and half-adoptees of the islanders, until they were rescued by a landing party from the US schooner Dolphin. The Globe s story is one of terror, adventure, endurance, and luck. It is also the story of one of the most bizarre and frightening minds that ever went to sea.
