The date is October 26th 1788, and his majesty's ship the Bounty had been sent to the Pacific islands for breadfruit. They dropped anchor in Tahiti, and for six months they stayed there, until they got the order to sail to England. The men made the most of their last day of the beautiful island. One of the sailors, George Young, had fallen deeply in love with a Tahitian maid, and he spent his last hours ashore, with her.
