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 seamenGeorge among themseized the Globe and escaped; most of the rest were killed by natives. Two survivors lived for twenty-two months, half-prisoners and

The illustrations are generally of good quality, and the photographs are excellent. It is a good book! But Dynamics is a very hard subject. Heffernan is unflinching in his description of Worth's demise saying "they ran the boarding knife through his body and drove it home with a blow from an axe; it entered below the stomach and came out the neck." I repeat what Heffernan wrote for one reason only. This version appears to have been done with significant cut-and-paste jobs that leave numerous numbers wrong in example problems. The reason for this is the use of pressure-sealing rings in piston actuators instead of a rolling diaphragm which can tear with high air pressures. Many aspects of this senseless mutiny on board a Nantucket whaleship in the south Pacific in 1824 are fairly well known. These same classifications also help technicians determine whether or not square-root extraction is required for proper flow measurement.
