Tha an ‘Gross’ – sin na choisneas am bàta fada an t-séasoin anns a’ bhanca. Aig deireadh an t-séasoin tha an toiseach cosgais a’ bhàta ga phàidheadh – am biadh a dh’ith iad, an gual no an ola, tuarasdal nan daoine dubha – so an draibhear (engineer), a ‘fireman’ is an còcaire, is bhiodh beagan ga thoirt mar thiodhlac don sgiobair. Bha sin a’ fagail an ‘Net’.
