THE CENTENARY OF JOHN ADAMS.

THE MUTINEER-LAWGIVER OF THE BOUNTY.

There are certain men in the some island where they would be history of the world of whom we more secure. They took bative should like to know more, and wives, therefore, and halfa-down among these a high place must be Takiti men for servants, and set given to John Adams, a British sail. The event demonstrated his seaman, mutineer, and distator ofwisdom, for twelve of the mincers Pitcairn, for it is difficult to re- who remained on Takit were cognize in Adams those traite eventually captured and three were generally attributed to the common hanged. seainen of his period or to discover from his history any explanation of its later phases which can be deduced from the period before the arrival at Pitcairn.

There is a good deal of mystery stiff about the story of the Bounty mutineers and the establishment of the Pitcairn settlement, but Adams himself remains a mystery within a mysteny.

Not a Leader. John Adams scents to have been born about 1760, but for practical purposes his history begins with Alexander Smith, A.B., on H.M.S. Boimty. The name by which he is known in history was probably adopted later to conceal his iden tity with a mutineer.

It does not appear that Adams took the leading part in the mutiny of the Bounty, a ship de- tailed, under Captain William Bligh, in the year 1788 to collect bread-fruit, and other vegetable pro ducts in the Society Islands with View to their propagation in the West Indies.

Bligh was martinet, and even tually in April, 1783, the majority of the crew mutinued under the Leadership of Fletcher Christian, overpowered Bligh, and set him ndrift in an open boat with eighteen loyalists. They landed eventually at Timor.

Fletcher Christian, therefore, and not Alexander Smith, was the leader of the mruiny. Smith seems to have taken an active part as a

Heutenant to Christian, and stood sentry at the captain's door læfore he was consigned to the boat. “At least, therefore, he had made him- self a marked man, and could look for no mercy if he were captured.

Three Hen Haaged. This fart influenced the future, for when the mutineers navigated the ship to Tahiti, Smith decided that it would be too risky to stay there, and he persuaded eight of his fellow mutineers to join him in an attempt to sail the Bounty to

Of the Bounty, her crew, and her passengers nothing more was heard for nearly twenty years. Then an American captain named Folger stumbled, by accident, upon the is land of Pisair, lying. roughly midway between Auckland and Lima, and having an area of anty, two square miles

Venerable Old Man, At the same time, Smith, who called himself John Adams, was not of the navy ships and suppored unnaturally alarmed by the arrival that they had come to take him off. He was then described as a man of venerable appearance, apparent ly about 60, and treated altogether a most favourable impression.

"His exemplary conduct and fatherly care of the whole of the little colony could not but command admiration. The pious manner in which those horn on the island bad been reared, the correct eense of religion instilled into their young minds by this old man have given him the pre-eminence, over whole of them."
