AN GAtDHEAL
An t-Samhuin, 1932.
na h-6rain sin a dh’ fh&g e mar
chuimhneachan buan ’n a dheidh; oir’s ann
aig an dm ud a rinn e a’ chuid mh6r de na
h-6rain a tha fhathast againn, agus aireamh
mhaith a tha a nis air dol do thir na di-
chuinihne.
Ach chan fheum sinn sealladh a chall air
a bhean-chinnidh annsanta, Mor Eos, an
cuspair sin a chuir saighead gaoil nach do
dhealaich ris ’n a chridhe, riamh bho ’n
oidhche iongantaich ud a fhuair e a’ cheud
shealladh dhlth ann an talla na- feile am baile
Steornabhagh. A latha agus a dh’ oidhche
bha a smaointean faoine ’n a fochair; bha
cuimhne air a h-ailleachd a’ cur surd agus
innsgin ’na uile oibribh, agus bha suil
inntinn an comhnuidh a’ sealltainn a null le
togradh anma e dh’ ionnsaidh an latha ’s
am biodh iad comhla gach mionaid agus uair
gus an cuireadh am bds dealachadh eatorra.
B’e sud an eleachdadh inntinn a bhiodh aig
Uilleam Eos aig an am ud, agus is maith
a fhreagradh air a chas-san briathran
Mhic-an-Fhleisdeir an Dun-omhainn, ann an
Clachan Glinn-da-ruadhail”: —
“ Cha suaimhneas oidhch’ air leabaidh
dhomh,
’G ad fhaicinn ann am bhruadar;
Is am Biobull fein cha laimhsich mi,
Gun fiomhaigh ghraidh ’gam bhuair-
eadh.”
Ach is mor m’ eagal nach b’e sud an
run-inntinn a bha aig . Mor Eos dha-san.
Faodaidh e bhi gu’n do ghabh i gaol air aig
a’ chuirm ud, ach ma ghabh cha do lean e
fada rithe. “Eud a theid fada bho’n t-suil
theid e fada bho’n chridhe,” ars’ an sean-
fhacal coir, agus eudail fhein, nach b’fhior
e do a taobh-se. Cho luath agus a fhuair i
Uilleam a null air tonnan corrach a’ Chuain-
Sgith, rinn i suiridhe ri moran leannan, agus
’n am measg bha fear do ’m b’ ainm
Clough, caiptean soithich, ris an do cheangail
i i fhein ann am bannan pbsaidh, agus
chaidh iad air thigheadas gu Liverpool. Cha
d’ rinn i fib agus lideadh an leth-fhacail de
so innse do a seann leannan, agus fioe agus
cinnt aice gu robh gaol a chridhe agus a
chl&bh aige oirre. Chuala Uilleam Eos an
naidheachd dhuilich so greis mhaith an
d&dh do Mhoir a bhi posda. Cha ghabhadh
meud a mhulaid innseadh, ach chaidh an
gnothuch bho sholus—bha ’n snaimi nach
f uasgail sgian na fiaclan no na meoirean a nis
gu cruaidh, daingeann air M6ir, agus cha robh
air an talamh a bhos na dh’ fhuasgladh e
ach an t-aog. Cha robh am bard ro shlim
roimhe so, ach chuir an deuchainn do-
labhairt a bha sud guin agus gath a’ bh&is
’na chom breoite, agus ged chuir bine
sgaile chaomh air beagan de a mhulad, b’ e
ciste chaol nam bord a thug a’ cheud
shuaimhneas do a ghalar.

Masonic Hall on Thursday, 13th October. The
President, Mr Peter MacKenzie, occupied the chair

interesting character, was greatly enjoyed by a
