Hundreds of skeletons reportedly found on 'Murder Island'

This article piqued my interest so I read the [wikipedia page about the incident](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batavia_(ship)). Some interesting bits: A few of them took a small boat to find water for the others, but after not finding any close, they abandoned everyone else and tried to get back: >..It was not until the longboat reached the island of Nusa Kambangan in Indonesia that Pelsaert and the others found any more water.[8] This journey, which ranks as one of the greatest feats of navigation in open boats, took 33 days and, extraordinarily, all aboard survived. After their arrival in Batavia, the boatswain .. was arrested and executed Meanwhile, back at the wreck: >Cornelisz's first deliberate act was to have all weapons and food supplies commandeered and placed under his control. He then moved a group of soldiers, led by Wiebbe Hayes, to nearby West Wallabi Island, under the false pretence of searching for water. They were told to light signal fires when they found water and they would then be rescued.[11] Convinced that they would be unsuccessful, he then left them there to die. Cornelisz then had complete control. The remaining survivors would face two months of unrelenting butchery and savagery. *With a dedicated band of murderous young men, Cornelisz began to systematically kill anyone he believed would be a problem to his reign of terror, or a burden on their limited resources. The mutineers became intoxicated with killing, and no one could stop them. They needed only the smallest of excuses to drown, bash, strangle or stab to death any of their victims, including women and children.* Cornelisz never committed any of the murders himself, although he tried and failed to poison a baby The mutineers had originally murdered to save themselves but eventually they began to kill for pleasure or out of habit.[13] Cornelisz planned to reduce the island's population to around 45 so that their supplies would last as long as possible. He also feared that many of the survivors remained loyal to the VOC.[14] In total, his followers murdered at least 110 men, women, and children.
