Number of men

[edit]

Article is short two men, the total is nine if you include Father Colin MacPherson, who led the raid. The public confusion seems to be due to the fact that seven claims were staked, as Donald and Sandy (Alexander) MacPhee shared a claim. One raider then withdrew their claim before the legal battle began, which is why sources have an inconsistent set of seven names. I'll correct this properly when I've got time to make a sourced edit, just leaving this note for anyone interested in the topic. -Duncan 185.72.111.138 (talk) 10:36, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
