Hallaig, Eilean Ratharsair, 1854.

Tha fathannan ann gu bheil na daoine gu bhith air am fuadach. Le Seòras Rainy, an t-uachdaran, a’ cumail smachd teann orra le riaghailtean gun chiall, is gann an ùine a th’ aig muinntir an àite.

Tha Ruairidh air fhuadach gu Àrnais, far a bheil e a’ coinneachadh ri Iseabail, tè bhrèagha, bheothail, agus tha e airson a pòsadh.

Am faigh iad fuasgladh air riaghailt Rainy, nach eil e ceadaichte do dhaoine pòsadh? An urrainn dhaibh fuireach ann an Ratharsair? No a bheil raointean farsaing taobh eile an t-saoghail gan tàladh?
