Joseph Coleman [Armourer].[37-3] Peter Heywood [Midshipman].[37-2] George Stewart [Midshipman].[37-4] Richard Skinner [A.B.].[37-4] Michael Burn [A.B. Fiddler].[37-3] James Morrison [Boatswain's Mate].[37-2] Charles Norman [Carpenter's Mate].[37-3] Thomas Ellison [A.B.].[37-1] Henry Hillbrant [A.B.].[37-4] John Sumner [A.B.].[37-4] Thomas M'Intosh [Carpenter's Crew].[37-3] William Muspratt [A.B.].[37-1] Thomas Burkitt [A.B.].[37-1] John Millward [A.B.].[37-1] These fourteen were made prisoners by my people and Charles Churchill and Matthew Thompson were murdered on that island. Previous to these people being put on shore the small arms, powder, canvas and the small stores belonging to the ship were equally divided amongst the whole crew. After building the schooner six of these people actually sailed in her for the East Indies, but meeting with bad weather and suspecting the abilities of Morrison, whom they had chosen to be their captain to navigate her there, they returned again to Otaheite on the night between the 21st and 22nd of September 1789 and were seen in the morning to the N.W. of Point Venus.[37-5] Fletcher Christian, Edward Young, Matthew Quintall, William M'Koy, Alexander Smith, John Williams, Isaac Martin, William Brown and John Mills went away in the ship and they also took with them several natives of these islands, both men and women, but I could not exactly learn their numbers, only that they had on board a few more women than white men, a deficiency of whom had formerly been one of their grievances and the principal cause of their quarrels. Christian had been frequently heard to declare that he would search for an unknown or uninhabited island in which there was no harbour for shipping, would run the ship ashore and get from her such things as would be useful to him and settle there, but this information was too vague to be followed in an immense ocean strewed with an almost innumerable number of known and unknown islands; therefore after the ship was caulked, which I found was necessary to be done, the rigging overhauled and in other respects refitted her for sea, and fitted the pirates' schooner as a tender, and put on board two petty officers[38-1] and seven men to navigate her, conceiving she would be of considerable use in covering the boats in my future search for the _Bounty_, as well as for reconnoitring the passage through the reef leading to Endeavour Straits; I sailed from Otaheite on the 8th of May with a view to put the remainder of my orders into execution.
