## Contents
Chapter XX details the crew's efforts to draft a "Round Robin" document addressed to "The English Consul, Tahiti," which is then delivered by the cook. The chapter introduces Wilson, the temporary missionary consul in Tahiti, who is depicted as unpopular and unprincipled. It describes the arrival of Wilson and Doctor Johnson on board the ship, with Wilson immediately asserting his authority by ordering the ship to stand off from land. The crew, particularly the cooper, expresses strong disdain for the ship, its conditions, and the mate's habits. The chapter concludes with the crew selecting the cooper as their spokesman to address the consul, despite advice to the contrary, as Wilson prepares to address the ship's company.
