Cornelisz

A race to the rescue ship ensued between Cornelisz's men and the soldiers.

Cornelisz even made far-fetched plans to start a new kingdom, using the gold and silver from the wrecked Batavia.

During the voyage, Jacobsz and Cornelisz conceived a plan to take the ship, which would allow them to start a new life somewhere, using the huge supply of trade gold and silver then on board.

However, the trained soldiers were by now much better fed than the mutineers and easily defeated them in several battles, eventually taking Cornelisz hostage.

However, to carry out this plan, he first needed to eliminate possible opponents. citation Cornelisz's first deliberate act was to have all weapons and food supplies commandeered and placed under his control.

In written form, these endings were often abbreviated as -sz. and -dr. respectively e.g. Jeroen Cornelisz.

Jacobsz and Cornelisz had already gathered a small group of men around them and arranged an incident from which the mutiny was to ensue.

Rescue Although Cornelisz had left the soldiers, led by Wiebbe Hayes, to die, they had in fact found good sources of water and food on their islands.
