I don't get this chapter. Why did they mutiny? What's the point now? The Kraken had gone. There's no real reason to think that the Captain was a threat. Was it just greed from the shells? You'd think that given only 4 of the 60 were left would show that they are nothing but bad news. Was it a continuation of the mutiny idea brought up by Olus Wiater in the previous chapter? Why did he bring it up in the first place - he just says "that the captain cannot be trusted", and from previous dialogue with John Davies in Escape 1 that the reason that the Kraken left was mysterious, and it is implied this is why. Are we meant to believe this is a common opinion, and why would it be so? Besides, Henry Brennan just murdered John Davies, so I doubt he has many sympathies towards mutiny. Did the death of Thomas Lanke set them off somehow, as some sort of "last straw", and then they all blamed the Captain for this mess? Maybe I'm missing something, but compared to the awesome writing for the rest of this tale, this seems to lack motive.
