Matters came to a head and much of the crew mutinied in June . </P> <P> Descriptions of the successful mutiny are one - sided, because the only survivors who could tell their story were the mutineers and those who went along with the mutiny . Allegedly in the latter class was ship's navigator Abacuk Pricket, a survivor who kept a journal that was to become a key source for the narrative of the mutiny . According to Pricket, the leaders of the mutiny were Henry Greene and Robert Juet . Pricket's narrative tells how the mutineers set Hudson, his teenage son John, and seven crewmen--men who were either sick and infirm or loyal to Hudson--adrift from the Discovery in a small shallop, an open boat, effectively marooning them in Hudson Bay . The Pricket journal reports that the mutineers provided the castaways with clothing, powder and shot, some pikes, an iron pot, some meal, and other miscellaneous items . </P> <P> After the mutiny, Captain Hudson's shallop broke out oars and tried to keep pace with the Discovery for some time . Pricket recalled that the mutineers finally tired of the David - Goliath pursuit and unfurled additional sails aboard the Discovery, enabling the larger vessel to leave the tiny open boat behind . Hudson and the other seven aboard the shallop were never seen again . Despite subsequent searches / expeditions, including those conducted in 1612 by Thomas Button and in 1668 - 70 by Zachariah Gillam, their fate is unknown . </P>
