In 1791 the expedition arrived at Tahiti and arrested fourteen of the mutineers. A cage constructed on the quarterdeck of the ship to hold the prisoners was nicknamed "Pandora's Box."After leaving Tahiti, the ship was wrecked on the Pandora Reef in Endeavor Strait.

Returning to England in 1792 the mutineers were tried by a court-martial; three were hanged, the rest aquitted or pardoned" (Hill, 766); Ferguson 151.
