A VISITOR FROM THE SEA ENCOUNTER AT MIDWAY ISLAND
A castaway named John Williams, claims of Ecuadoran birth and English brig captaincy, is rescued from a drifting boat near Midway Island. He persuades crew to mutiny aboard the Harvest Home, prompting a voyage in a small boat with provisions. The ship’s crew splits, Williams gains control, and after days at sea the stranded party attempts rescue but is eventually lost. The Red Prince and a later salvage attempt are noted with fatal consequences for the mutineers and captors.
