The ship was taken in twenty minutes, and the armourer was kept alive because he could work metal. John Jewitt spent nearly three years as Maquinna's captive at Nootka Sound, making tools and weapons for the chief who had destroyed his crew, and his account remains the closest thing we have to a report from inside that world.
