Deanamh na snòtaichean gaoisde

’Se muigh no earball eich a bha so – dubh no geal. Chan fhaca mi a riamh gaoisde ruadh. Tha mu shia gu ochd de ghaisneannan gaoisde agus mu ochd oirlich de fhad a’ dol gu snòta. Tha thu a’ cur snaim ‘half-hitch’ agus a’ deanamh da leth air fad air an aireamh de ghaisneannan so – tri no ceithir air gach taobh. Tha an t-snòta an nis ga toinneamh le do bhois air do ghlùin, agus gus a fàs craiceann do ghlùin cleachte ris an obair so tha thu a’ cur cràiteachan de luathaidh as an teine oirre an drasda ’sa rithist, ach am beagan uine cha leig sibh a leas so oir theid a’ ghlùin mar crodhan. ’S mise fear a bha thall ’sa dh’fhairich. Tha thu a’ dùnadh gach snota le ‘half-hitch’; a’ ceangal snota dhubh is snota gheal r’a cheile, agus an sin ris a’ chalp. Tha thu a’ reileadh dubhan aig ceann gach snota is tha an lion beag a nis air a chur thuige.

Anns a’ bhaile againn fhìn chan fhaca mi duine ri bualadh duine eile a riamh. Cha [sic] fhaca mi fhìn duine ann an greim. No a’ tarruing na làimhe air dhòigh sam bith. Chunnaic agus chuala mi trodan ’s mar sin ach sin uile e. Chan fhaca duine daoine a riamh cho ciallach agus cho cliùiteach riutha mar sin. Ged a bha nithean anns na gnàthasan-cainnte a chuir mi steach thugaibh, a shaoileadh sibh gu robh iad crosd is ann a bha sin a nuas bho làithean na b’aosda na chunnaic sinne.

Bha àrc bìdeag an àirde bho an sgùil air sreang a’ bhiadhaidh airson am biadhadh a dheanamh faicsinneach do an ghiomach. Nuair a bhatar a’ tarruing na sgùilean, bha thu ’g a tarruing cho luath agus a dheanadh do làmhan agus do bhodhaig dhuit. Nuair a bha an giomach am broinn na sgùile, agus a bha i air a gluasad bho’n ghrunnd agus air a’ tarruing troimh an fhairge gu cabhagach, bha an giomach ag greimeachadh ris an nì a bh’aige agus cha charaicheadh e, gu’m beireadh am fear-tarruing air. Nam biodh an sgùil air a tarruing slaodach, bha e toirt cothrom do an ghiomach smaoineachadh de bha tachairt, agus an sgùil fhàgail. Chanadh iad na ‘cearcaill’ ann an àiteachan ris an t-seòrsa uidheam-iasgaich-sa. Tha eachdraidh nam ball-sa gu mionaideach aig Niall M’Dhòmhnaill, fear raoin Chùil-fhodair.
