On the 12th of September our tryal commenced on board His Majestys Ship Duke in Portsmouth Harbour and to the Minutes of the Court Martial I refer the reader for a more particular account of that Transaction. Mean while I shall endeavour to give some account of the Island of Taheite or King Georges Island and of the Manners and Customs of the Society Isles in General with an account of their Language such as I was able to procure during my stay on shore there of Nineteen Months, exclusive of Near five Months which elapsed while the Bounty lay there under Lieutenant Blighs Command and five Months More which we expended after the Taking of the Ship before we landed most part of which time We were conversant with the Natives.
