Było to wydarzenie bardzo dramatyczne, a główni aktorzy tegoż wydarzenia nie osiągnęli celu, jaki im przyświecał, kiedy zdradzili Hiszpanię i popłynęli do Meksyku. / En octobre 1825, une mutinerie éclate bord de deux navires espagnols. Elle est menée par le lieutenant Martinez et le gabier José. Leur but est de livrer ces navires au gouvernement mexicain, qui n'en possde encore aucun.
