"Listen to me," Fletcher Christian said to the men gathered around him. "we are not English seamen in good standing. We are fugitives from justice, guilty of the double crime of mutiny and piracy. Should we be discovered and taken, death will be the portion of every man of us. "To me this island seems an ideal spot, and Mr. Young agrees that we might have searched the Pacific over without having found one better suited to men in our position. Shall we make our home here or shall we not?" The matter was discussed at some length. When the question was put to a vote the show of hands was unanimous. By then the sun had set and the silence of the land seemed to flow outward to where the Bounty rocked gently on the sea. Christian turned from the rail and said: "It is a peaceful spot. God grant that we may keep it so."
