The Lennie mutiny story closes as four prisoners are convicted and sentenced to death for the murder of the captain, chief officer, and second mate.

The court convicts most mutineers and sentences them to death while notes others, including non-murderers who aided the act, faced sharp remarks from the presiding judge. The voyage's danger, revolvers kept by shipmen, and a £50 reward for duty are highlighted as deterrents and lessons for mercantile seafaring insubordination.
