LIST OP THE MUTINEERS. Ill 
second ineffectual attempt at settling having 
been made on Toubouai, and a refuge having 
again been found, for a short time, at Otaheite, 
Christian and eight of his comrades left for 
Pitcairn, in the Bounty, with certain Otaheitans, 
the rest of the mutineers remaining at Otaheite. 
It happened that Carteret's printed description 
of Pitcairn had been on board the Bounty ; and 
this probably determined Christian in his choice. 
Carteret, however, as will have been seen, was 
wrong in his description of the latitude and 
longitude of the island. 
When the Bounty arrived at Pitcainrs Island, 
she had on board nine Englishmen, with their 
nine Otaheitan wives, and six Otaheitan men. 
three of whom had wives with them. These, 
with a little Otaheitan girl, made twenty-eight 
persons who landed. This little child, then an 
infant of ten months old, was afterwards the wife 
of Charles Christian, and the mother of Mrs. G. 
H. Nobbs ! The names of the nine mutineers 
who reached the island in the Bounty were — 
Fletcher Christian .... Master's Mate. 
Edward Young Midshipman. 
John Mills ........ Gunner's Mate. 
Matthew Quintal ...... Able Seaman. 
William M'Cot ...... Ditto.

Christian and Young were men of good edu- 
cation. The former was the brother of Edward 
Christian, Esq., Professor of Law at Cambridge,
