Yes, they increasingly gravitate towards Bulkley, that instinctive leader who uses such populist expressions that still resonate with us today. He would use phrases to stir the semen, calling for them for life and liberty, while Cheap invokes such principles as duty and honor and patriotism to try to keep the men loyal to him and to the mission.

We can't get into the details of the mutiny, but they finally decide to go that path. And it's so interesting to me how long it takes them to get there. There's all these deliberations. There's a lot of diplomacy back and forth between the factions. It seems that mutiny was a really hard line for these men to cross despite all that had happened to them.

Yes, a full-blown mutiny they knew was risky and a real breach of naval order. And if it was a full-blown mutiny like the kind some were contemplating... The punishment could be, or likely would be, being hanged if they ever made it back to England. So even when they are planning it, they are holding these debates.

And what's amazing is that even on this desolate, remote island, the castaways are conscious of the Admiralty, you know, thousands of miles away, all the way in England, paring down on them. So they are thinking about the rules, what rules they can break.

They are writing up documents and trying to create a written record contemporaneously that can justify their uprising, a written record that would withstand the attrition of a public trial.

Yeah, it's amazing. They have these little scraps of paper and they're having all the mutineers sign them, especially the second in command. So it seems like that they were justified in their actions. And then Bulkley just takes all these pieces of paper with them on their journey. That is correct.

Okay, so once the boat is ready, the mutineers take control of it and leave Captain Cheap along with a few remaining men loyal to him on the island. He actually requests to be left there rather than to be taken prisoner on the boat. And Bokling and his men make this journey almost 3,000 miles successfully, but you could not call it an easy trip.
