Summary Part IV

Part XVI: Great Barrier Reef [August - 1770]

With no wind for sailing, the Endeavour is in a bit of a trouble. With the tides dragging them closer to the shore, and no wind for trying to break away from the tides, the crew struggles to save their ship. But luckily, someone on the ship found an opening in the land. Even though the opening is narrow, the crew quickly turned the ship around. And before you know it, they made it through. After the narrow escape from collision, the crew went on exploring Australia, along with claiming land as they went. Later when the Captain found out that there's no land connecting Australia to New Guinea, the Endeavour sets course for home.

Part XVII:  The East Indies [August - October 1770]

 After sailing for a while, the Endeavour finally comes upon a Dutch island named Savu. During their stay, the Captain requested fresh supplies from the natives. But the natives also came with their own requests: an English sheep and dog (Lord Grey). After their trade, with overwhelming fresh supplies, the crew heads on towards Batavia. 

Part XVIII: Tent of Death [October - December  1770]

 While in Batavia, the crew caught a deadly disease called bloody flux a.k.a. Dysentery. While at port, the crew's member are dying one by one, including notable people such as Surgeon Monkhouse. After they have finally stocked in more supplies, the crew then heads for England, but with the disease on board.

Part XIX: Skeleton Crew [December 1770 - March 1771]

 This part is quite sad. As the Endeavour heads toward Africa, the crew's members are still dying one-by-one. A lot of people die in this chapter, including the cook, a few gentlemen, Mr. Bootie, all of the artists, the doctors, and even Tupia and Tarheto. Mr. Banks is deadly sick but is still alive. Nick also got the disease.

Part XX: Second Wind [March - April 1771]

 The Endeavour finally reaches the Cape of Africa, with only a few on board. At the Cape, the sick are sent ashore to be attended by Dutch doctors who seem to have a cure for the bloody flux. After restocking on fresh supplies and crew members, the Endeavour then sets sail for England. Miraculously, Nick, the Captain, and Mr. Banks recovered from the bloody flux. Tarheto and Tupia is buried here. It's a pity because Nick wanted to show them England.

Part XXI: Home [April - July 1771]

The Endeavour is heading towards England with a company of English ships. Finally, they reached England. Nick, who started as a boy, has now turned become a grown up and experienced boy. He also receives his pay for the voyage. Before leaving and saying his goodbyes, Mr. Banks tells him to come and meet him for another voyage to Iceland. Nick promises to return, and then heads to the Butcher to repay his debt.
