[a] George Cammock, the Spanish Rear-Admiral, who had taken refuge
in Messina. He slipped out in a frigate, which however he had to
abandon, and escaped by boat to land. He was an Irishman who had
served with distinction in the English navy under Queen Anne, but had
been dismissed on account of his Jacobite tendencies. He then entered
the Spanish service; and it is said that, if the Spanish Admiral had
followed his advice, the battle off Cape Passaro might have had a
different result.
[b] Thomas Mathews, afterwards Admiral, who commanded the blockading
force.
