Description
In this sequel to Typee, the narrator is taken off the island by a whaleman, but soon discovers the captain and mate are incompetent. Along with most of the crew he jumps ship in Tahiti and is briefly jailed as a mutineer. On his release he bums about the islands with a companion.

Typee: A Peep at Polynesian Life (1923)
Loosely based on his own adventures, Herman Melville here tells the story of two American sailors who jump ship on the island of Nuku Hiva in the Marquesas Islands and spend four months with the natives. While roundly condemned as fictitious at the time of publication, Melville’s companion Toby Greene later corroborated his account.
