Author's note: After the wreck of the Dutch ship Batavia in 1629 off the Abrolhos Islands, Western Australia, the fleet's commander, Francisco Pelsaert, left for Java in a small boat. Meanwhile the under-merchant, Jeronimus Cornelius, gained control of the islands and ordered the massacre of 125 people.
