Three vessels had been forced into Killybegs harbour, Co. Donegal. The galleass Gerona was the only that was seaworthy. With the assistance of MacSweeney Banagh the ship was made ready for sea after two weeks in mid-October. The ship sailed past Lough Swillys and Lough Foyle on its journey to Scotland. The ship with a crew of 1300 were driven ashore by by a fierce gale at Dunluce, Co. Antrim. The entire crew perished with the exception of 9 men who were rescued by Sorley Boy MacDonnell who later arranged their escape to Scotland.
