Synopsis
In the year 1864, two separate ships crashed into the shallow reefs along the coast of the remote and uninhabited Aukland Islands. The marooned crews of the two ships never encountered each other and their experiences were drastically different. One crew, under the leadership of Captain Thomas Musgrave, prayed, played chess, built a cabin and eventually a ship. The other crew's captain went mad and his men soon resorted to murder and cannibalism. However, members of both crews survived to tell the tale, and using these remarkable documents Joan Druett has written a harrowing book that provides insight into techniques of survival and the unequal fiber of men.

Publisher's Note
Describes how the crews of two different vessels became shipwrecked on opposite ends of the same deserted island and the very different experiences of the two groups--one of which through sheer determination and fortitude overcame the challenges of their environment, while the other descended into complete anarchy.
