17. " A passage which, usually takes two days " — (p. 214.) 

 The passage being made in an open and loaded boat, the rate of 



sailing could harely be more than 3 to 4 miles per hour ; and counting 

 the two days to represent 36 hours, that is two days and one night, 

 the whole length of the passage would be about 110 to 120 miles. 

 The distance from Lough Foyle to the coast of Ayr would be about 

 110 miles, and would so far point to some place of embarkation in the 

 vicinity of the mouth of that Lough. 



18. " He was called D. Reimond Termi (?), Bishop of Times (?).— 

 (p. 215.) 



The name, as written by Cuellar, "Termi," would seem at first 

 to point to the Irish name Terney or Tierney. But as no Bishop of 

 that name can be traced for that period of Irish history, it is pro- 

 bable that " Termi " is either a corrupt form of the real name, or an 

 intentionally altered form, so as to hide the personage referred to. 

 The following extracts from the State Papers Calendar (Ireland), 

 1588-92, p. 44, would point to the then Bishop of Deny as being the 

 prelate who received and succoured Cuellar. 



" It is also reported that a great number of Spaniards that were 

 stripped naked by the soldiers that serve under the leading of both 

 the Hovendens, are now come to the other Spaniards that landed in 

 M'Sweeny's country, and thither brought by the Bishop of Derry 

 (Hedmond O'Grallagher) a most seditious Papist, and a man very like 

 to procure great aid to the Spaniards if he can."

" 1. In IJlster there is one, Bedmond 0' Gallagher, Bishop of Derry, 

 Pope's legate, and Custos of Armagh, 07ie of the three Irish bishops that 

 were at the Council of Trent. ^ He rides from place to place with pomp 



1 This statement is not borne out by Chifflet's " Canons and Decrees of the 

 Council of Trent" (Paris, Maquignon jeune, 1824). On p. 468 is given the 

 names of the three Irish bishops who attended the Council as follows : — " Thomas 

 Overllaitthe, Hibemus, Episcopus rossen; Eugenius O'Hairt, Hibernus, ord. predic. 

 Episeopus ^gaden; Donaldus Magongial, Hibemus, Episcopus rapoten."
