Convict Peet Seizes Albatross Amid Port Town Mutiny
A convict Peet escapes from Macquarie Harbour during a five day stay, returns to George Town aboard the Albatross, seeks freedom with thirteen mutineers, feuds with Captain Edwards and Commandant Priest, faces pursuit by soldiers, and plans a voyage to Van Diemen’s Land while sheltering aboard the whaler. The alarm spreads as a military party attacks, battles ensue, and the shipmates attempt to flee upriver toward safety.
