This is a series, CBS, I on the world. I'm John Bachelor. Sailing the Grave Yard Sea,

the new book from Richard Snow, The Deathly Voyage of the Summers, the U.S. Navy's only

mutiny and the trial equipped the nation.

It is Friday the 24th of November.

A man named Wales, it's approached by Philip Spencer, the 18-year-old daydreamer, who has notions

of being a pirate, just like the pirates own book that he read when he was in college.

And he tells Wales, are you going to join us and he explains the plot?

Richard, what is the plot as we understand it now 180 years later?

Well, he said to, he said to, he said to, um, first he says to Wales, hey, come, come

with me, come up here and this tiny ship has only one place of real privacy

which is which looks like a wood pile. It's these spare spars all stacked in the

middle of the deck and they crawl up on top of them and then

Philip Spencer says that he's got at least 20 people on the ship recruited for his plan.

They're going to be a great pirate ship.

They can outgun anything half their size.

They can outrun anything but they have to and we'll swing the guns around

we'll get the whole crew on deck at gunpoint we will then we'll decide which ones we need the

others will go overboard a lot of useless mouths to feed too many children and

then we'll then we'll go sailing and and become rich of big ships. Are you with me? I'm going to make

you one of my officers and Wales believes this and out of sheer self-preservation says, oh yes that's a great idea

Phil and then waste to a says, oh yes, that's a great idea, Phil.

And then waits through a miserable night
