Victory (1847 ship)

The ship left Gravesend on 3 March and had run into bad weather in the English Channel, sheltering at Cowes for ten days.

Just before the ship reached the Bay of Biscay, the crew, with Robinson's help, refused to obey an unreasonable order from the captain.

They killed Captain Mullens, Second Mate James Aransono, cook Edward Bailey, and seaman Henry Watt.

Chief Mate William Vagg, who had survived, was compelled by the coolies to steer the ship.

That proved too difficult, so he was forced to steer for the island of Pulo Ubi, about 20 km (12 mi) south of Point Kamao, where they anchored.

About 50 coolies left the boat at Pulo Ubi after destroying its papers and log books, as well as taking most of its cargo.

The boat then sailed to another island to the east of Pulo Ubi, where the remainder of the coolies left.
