Early colonialism In February 1824, the American whaler Globe anchored at Mili Atoll after the crew mutinied and killed the ship's officers. While the mutineers were ashore, five dissenting crew members made off with the ship and marooned the mutineers. Two years later, the American navy schooner Dolphin arrived and found that mutineers had been massacred by the Marshallese due to their brutal treatment of the local women. The only survivors were two boys, who had been spared and adopted by the Marshallese.
