     In all twenty-five—­and the most able of the ship’s company.

’Christian, the chief of the mutineers, is of a respectable family in the North of England.  This was the third voyage he had made with me; and as I found it necessary to keep my ship’s company at three watches, I had given him an order to take charge of the third, his abilities being thoroughly equal to the task; and by this means the master and gunner were not at watch and watch.

’Heywood is also of a respectable family in the North of England,[5] and a young man of abilities as well as Christian.  These two had been objects of my particular regard and attention, and I had taken great pains to instruct them, having entertained hopes that, as professional men, they would have become a credit to their country.

’Young was well recommended, and had the look of an able, stout seaman; he, however, fell short of what his appearance promised. [In the account sent home he is thus described:  Edward Young, midshipman, aged twenty-two years.  Dark complexion and rather a bad look—­strong made—­has lost several of his fore teeth, and those that remain are all rotten.]

’Stewart was a young man of creditable parents in the Orkneys; at which place, on the return of the Resolution from the South Seas, in 1780, we received so many civilities that, on that account only, I should gladly have taken him with me:  but, independent of this recommendation, he was a seaman, and had always borne a good character.
