Another friend, Humberto Diaz Arguelles, said Mora’s first wife died of cancer. “We were so convinced about what we were doing to go free Cuba that nobody complained,” Diaz Arguelles remembered. Diaz Arguelles and about 20 invaders were surrounded by Cuban troops and taken to Castillo del Principe, or Castle of the Prince, a huge military fort in Havana. Diaz Arguelles said the prison was deteriorated and full of fungus, and they had to sleep on the floor with rats running over them at night. Diaz Arguelles said he and Mora both got jobs and worked their way through college.
