he managed to keep every man alive and navigate his way from Tahiti to the Australian coast with next to no tools.
He lost one, Norton I believe his name was, killed by natives on Tafoa...read Men Against the Sea, the second book of the Bounty Trilogy...for sheer excitement and adventure, it is the best of the three!

Yes, you're right, I forgot about that. It's amazing that any (actually most) of them made it off that island alive.
As I recall, another member of Bligh's lifeboat died very shortly after arriving in Australia. Dehydration destroyed his kidneys.
