text: Valentine’s death sends the crew’s spirits plunging low and Bligh decides to raise morale by instructing the crew to dance a jig to the tunes of a half-blind fiddler he has brought on board. The last thing the crew feel like doing is dancing but the sailors obligingly force themselves to their feet and dance wearily to the tunes the fiddler plays. You are dancing when you notice two men are remaining seated.
  
  William Brown, a mild scientific man who Bligh brought on board as a botanist to take care of the breadfruit plants is talking quietly to John Mills the Gunner’s Mate, a tough and unfriendly older man. You see Fletcher Christian go over and encourage them to dance but Mills shakes his head emphatically and Brown lowers his head. Christian shrugs and walks away.
  > You keep dancing
  You continue to dance but moments later Bligh shouts for the music to stop and storms towards the seated men.
  
  “Why are you not dancing like the others?” he demands.
  
  “It does not seem like an appropriate time for that,” Brown says quietly.
  
  “Damn you for contemptible rascals,” Bligh cries. “Both of you will have your grog stopped from now until we reach Tahiti.”
  
  Mills glares back at him with a half-smile on his face as Bligh turns, returns to his former position near the helm and orders the fiddler to keep playing. The punishment is a harsh one but not as bad as it could have been: a week later you reach Tahiti.
