mhor ann. Bha sinn ag gabhail
sios sraid mhor na Tairbeairt an
aghaidh na gaoithe, an uair thug
sinn fainear gu robh coigreach ri
ar taobh, a’ bruidhinn ruinn:
“Nach sibhse cairdean
Chaluim?” arsa esan gu h-iosal.
Mu am b’urrainn duinn freagairt
a thoirt dha, thuirt e a rithist:
“Is ann as an Scarpa a tha mise
cuideachd. Is e mac dhomhsa
Calum. ’
A nis, dh’aithnich sinn co e—
athair Chaluim Dhomhnaill Oig—
Domhnall Og fhein—Hearach
laghach, cairdeil. Bha feusag
ghoirid, dhubh air, agus bha a
shiiilean donn agus dealrach, lan
toinisg agus coibhneis. An uair
bhruidhneadh e ribh, chuireadh e a
ghuala faisg air bhur gualain fhein,
shealladh e oirbh an clar an
aodainn, agus gach ni a theireadh e
ribh, bhitheadh ciall agus gliocas
ann.
Is mor am beud nach ’eil Domh¬
nall Og beo an diugh; gu dearbh,
is m6r, mor am beud.
CO dhiiibh, tha a’ chuid as
motha de na Gaidheil eolach
a nis air Calum fhein—air
Calum Dhbmhnaill Oig—air an
Urramach Calum MacGilleathain,
M.A., oifeagach foghainnteach leis
na Camshronaich anns a’ cheud
chogadh mhor, agus oifeagach
diadhaidh na h-eaglaise anns a’
chogadh mu dheireadh; foghlum-
aiche sonraichte an Oil-thaigh
Dhun-eideann, ministear na
Comraiche, agus a nis ministear
Drochaid Chonain, rathad Inbhir-
Pheofharain. Is mor am meas a
tha aig a shluagh fhein agus aig
a luchd-eolais air fad air Calum.
Choisinn e deagh dhiirachd nan
Ga idheal gu leir dha fhein—is
Calum a choisinn. Tha e a’
deanamh moran—bho mhadainn
Di-luain gu Latha na Sabaid—an
dk chuid air sgkth a -eaglaise agus
a r sgath a chanain, agus chan ’eil
a bhean laghach, thap'aidh,
fhialaidh a bheag ’na dheidh.^
Chan ionghnadh leinn idir, ma
ta, gun do choisinn nighean
Chaluim—ogha Dhomhnaill Oig—
an duals as airde agus an t-urram
as motha am measg nan lighichean
oga an Oil-thaigh Dhun-eideann
an latha roimhe. Seo an dealbh
aice—agus nach abair sibh gu bheil
i bbidheach, gu bheil i maiseach ?
Nach ’eil ailleachd air a h-aghaidh,
cho maith ri gliocas ’na ceann ?
Nach ’eil sibh a’ tuigsinn car son
a thuirt sinn gur mor, mor am beud
nach ’eil Domhnall Og fhein beo
