I rather enjoyed the joke myself.

The captain of the Suviah died of his disease a few months later, and I believe before the mutineers were tried.

I hope they got clear, because, as before stated, I always thought the mutiny was all in the brain of a very weak and sick man.
After reaching shore, or Shell Island, the labor of getting to Corpus Christi was slow and tedious.

There was, if my memory serves me, but one small steamer to transport troops and baggage when the 4th infantry arrived.

Others were procured later.
