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 in 1824, he organized a mutiny and murdered the officers of the Globe. It was a premeditated act; in his sea chest Comstock carried the seeds, tools, and weapons with which he would found his own island kingdom. He had often described these plans to one of his brothers, William. But the chief witness and chronicler of the mutiny was young George Comstock, who neither participated in nor approved of his brother's savage deed. Within days of settling on Mili Atoll in the Marshall Islands, Comstock was murdered by his fellow mutineers. Six innocent seamen—George among them—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 natives, until they were rescued in a bold and dangerous maneuver by a landing party from the U.S. 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.

Whilst sailing between Hawaii and Tahiti in January 1824, the captain and officers of the Nantucket whaling ship, the Globe, were attacked with whaling gear, shot and dumped overboard under the audacious direction of 21 year old Samuel Comstock, whose dream was to found his own tropical kingdom. This eventually led to his own violent death at the hands of his co-mutineers. Only a few members of the Globe's crew survived- two men who were rescued after years on a Pacific atoll, bizarrely spared after their fellows had been slaughtered by the native inhabitants, and a handful more who retook the ship and carried news of the mutiny to the US Navy. Escaping with the ship was George Comstock, Samuel's younger brother and a horrified eyewitness to his brother's murderous deeds. George's remarkable firsthand account, written upon his return to Nantucket, has never been published in full. This book presents portions of this account for the first time.

In 1985, George Gibson received a young naval officer's journal dating from the 1880s. This was no ordinary journal. The officer was part of a detail sent to capture those responsible for the gruesome mutiny aboard the whaling ship Globe. His eyewitness description of the search and the fate of these terrifying individuals led Gibson to write this chilling account of the infamous event.
