James Valentine - AB

Died before mutiny - age 28

Originally a very healthy, strong man with a large frame, he was taken ill while the Bounty was at Adventure Bay, and was bled in the arm by Huggan. The arm was looked after carelessly by him and the surgeon, and infection set in. Shortness of breath followed, and he likely died of pulmonary embolism, well before the mutiny occurred. He was not mentioned in the fictional 'Mutiny on the Bounty'.
