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， he organized a mutiny and murdered the officers of the Globe. It was a premeditated act: in his sea chest Comstock carried the seeds and tools with which he would found his own island kingdom. Witness and chronicler of the mutiny was Comstock s horrified brother. Within days of settling on Mili Atoll in the Marshall Islands， Comstock was murdered by his fellow mutineers. Six innocent seamen， including Comstock s brother， 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 islanders， until they were rescued by a landing party from the US 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.
