Message Board Post:
Evidently the soldiers that survived the sinking of the ship in Tobermory Bay were
conscripted by MacLean of Duart to fight against his clan enemies for one year. The name
"El Caudillo" meant leader of the Army. Yes, quite a few Spaniards were
slaughtered by the Irish when their ships crashed on their coast, but the San Juan de
Sicilia had actually reached safe harbor at Mull. An act of sabotage sunk the ship while
it was anchored there.
