Summary (also from the previous page)
In Jacatra on December 29, 1620, Dirck Gerrittsz Crul, captain of the ship "Wapen van Amsterdam", was found guilty of misconduct during an incident that occurred on September 6th near Japara.
The case involved three ships' boats:
One commanded by Artus Gysels from the ship "Amsterdam"
After learning that the Walcheren's boat had been attacked by a junk (Asian sailing vessel) and had suffered casualties, the three boats' crews agreed to attack the junk together. Gysels led the charge, but the other two boats failed to follow through on their promise to help. This caused the enemy's courage to increase while the Dutch attackers' morale dropped. The Amsterdam's boat, having suffered about 20 wounded men, was forced to retreat.
Crul's failure to provide promised support was considered a serious offense that brought shame to the Dutch and gave their enemies reason to boast. Despite testimony from his own boat's crew claiming there had been a change of plans to attack one after another, this contradicted evidence from Gysels, Jan Willemsz Gomale, Abraham du Bois, and Jelis van Hatten, who maintained the original plan was to attack together.
The court sentenced Crul to forfeit three months' wages, with one-third going to the Attorney General and the remainder to support local fortifications.
