Clam. ’S e maorach muir domhain a tha so, agus gheibhear cor fhear dhuibh [sic] air an lion-bheag ceithir thimchioll an eilein, ach bidh muinntir Uig agus muinntir nan Loch gan togail le sgumairean ’nan dusain do na h-eathraichean aca aig top reodhart is gan còcaireachd an aon doigh ris a’ mhadadh. Bidh muinntir Uig ga fàgail ann an luin anns a’ chladach agus a’ dol air an tòir as a sin mar a bhios feum orra. As deidh a’ chogaidh mu dheireadh bha campa R.A.F. ann an Ard Uig is bhiodh balaich a’ champa so a’ togail nan creachan na’n ceudan comhdaichte ann an ‘aqua-lungs’ agus ga reic an Steòrnabhagh. Cha robh so a’ còrdadh ri muinntir Uig idir. Bha eagal orra gu gun glanadh iad an grunnd buileach glan, agus mar sin bha iad taingeil gun tug na balaich so an casan leotha nuair a chaidh an campa a dhùnadh bho chionn da bhliadhna. Anns an Rudha na’n togte creachan air lion beag bha an duine leis an robh an lion ga dhleasadh ga fhein. Co dhiù, anns an Rudha bha an creachan ga ithe amh cho luath ’sa thigeadh e air bòrd. Chan fhaca mise iad a’ bruiche chreachan a riamh gus an deacha mi chun na Lochan. Tha e fada na’s blasda amh. ’S e slige a’ chreachain an t-inneal as fheàrr a fhuaireadh fhathast gus an t-uachdair a thogail bho bhainne togalaich.
