was in the" hands of mutineers were
untrue. "When the mutineers vbo Were
led by the agitators from the shore
and who believed that the squadron
was coming to their rescue found that
hope in that direction was crushed,
dissentions broke out among them
and they turned their guns upon each
other. Those who had determined to
die rather'than surrender fired into

comrades who hoisted the white flag, j
