In 1806 Bligh was made governor of New South Wales, was deposed in a queer, involved insurrection two years later. At this point Dr. Mackaness records his gravest charge against his hero. After devoting twelve pages to the evidence as to how Bligh received news of his arrest, the biographer says sadly, "We can only repeat our reasoned conclusion that in the time of crisis...
