Fiona NicIllFhinnein: Air an t-seachdamh latha deug den Iuchar, naoi ceud deug 鈥檚 a c貌ig deug ann an Lunnainn, nochd dithis ann an c霉irt armailteach fo amharas gur e luchd-brathaidh a bh鈥� annta.

Gilleasbuig MacDh貌mhnaill: Bha Haicke Janssen air a thighinn a Bhreatainn meadhan a鈥� Ch猫itein, ag r脿dh gur e D霉itseach 脿 Amsterdam a bh鈥� ann agus a鈥� leigeil air gur e fear-siubhail a bhiodh a鈥� reic shiog脿ran a bh鈥� ann. Cha b鈥� fhada gus na dh鈥檉h脿s Seirbheisean T猫arainteachd Bhreatainn amharasach gun robh fear-brathaidh ag obair san sg矛re mun cuairt air Southampton. Fhuair iad gr猫im air teileagraman bho Janssen a bha mas fh矛or mu dheidhinn siog脿ran ach a dh鈥檉haodadh a bhith air an leughadh ann an d貌igh eile. Aig deireadh na m矛os, chaidh Janssen a chur an gr猫im.

Th脿inig Willem Roos a Lunnainn 脿 Amsterdam meadhan na m矛os, cuideachd ag r脿dh gur ann a鈥� dol a reic siog脿ran a bha e. 脌 Lunnainn, chaidh e dhan Chaisteal Nuadh agus 脿 sin a Dh霉n 脠ideann far an deach e a dh鈥檉huireach ann an taigh-貌sta ann a L矛te, port as am biodh b脿taichean a鈥� Chabhlaich R矛oghail a鈥� falbh 鈥檚 a鈥� tighinn.听

Cha b鈥� fhada gus an robh e fh猫in an gr猫im agus fianais ann gu robh e na fhear-brathaidh. Aig a鈥� ch霉irt, dhi霉lt Janssen bruidhinn, ach dh鈥檃idich Roos gum b鈥� aithne dhaibh a ch猫ile. Thug e貌laichean fianais nach robh siog脿ran ann leis na h-ainmean a bha an dithis a鈥� cleachdadh ann an litrichean is teileagraman.听听

Fhuair an dithis aca binn b脿is is cha bhiodh fada aca ri feitheamh.

Piuthar Ailean Caimbeul a' bruidhinn mu dheidhinn

Kathleen: Uill, 鈥檚 e mise 鈥檚 bu shine dhan teaghlach, agus tha mi bliadhna gu leth nas sine na Ailean. Agus mar sin, nuair a bha mise 貌g, 鈥檚 e A Beag a bh鈥� agam air, mar a bha e na b鈥� 貌ige na bha mi, is bha mi a鈥� gabhail brath air mar sin.

On as cuimhn鈥� leamsa Ailean, bha 霉idh aige ann an rudeigin air cuibhlichean. Bha e a鈥� falbh is thug e seann phram 脿s a ch猫ile agus s矛os dhan fr猫am is gu na cuibhlichean. Is chuir e bogsa iasgaich air uachdar sin. Is bhiodh e...鈥檚 e bogey a bh鈥� aige air. Bhiodh e s矛os is suas na bruthaichean air a sin!

Agus 鈥檚 e balach be貌thail a bh鈥� ann an Ailean riamh. Agus creid e no nach creid e, bhithinns鈥� cheart cho... a鈥� falbh 脿s a dh猫idh anns a h-uile 脿ite neo falbh leis, neo bhiodh esan a鈥� falbh 脿s mo dh猫idhsa, bhiomaid an-c貌mhnaidh cuideachd. Is ma bhiodh esan a鈥� d猫anamh m矛-mhodh, gu f矛reannach bha agus mise.

Tha cuimhn鈥� a鈥檓 aon oidhche, chaidh daoine a鈥� tighinn a choimhead dhan taigh air ch猫ilidh. Is thuirt mo mh脿thair is m鈥� athair, 鈥淥h, cuiridh sinn teine sh矛os anns an r霉m 矛osal dhuibhse, is gheibh sibh geamaichean mar snakes and ladders is rudan mar sin. Is faodaidh sibhse fuireach ann a shin gus am falbh na daoine tha seo.鈥�

Co-dhi霉 nuair a bha... fhad 鈥檚 a bha an oidhche a鈥� dol air adhart, chaidh an teine s矛os. Iochd, 鈥檚 ann a th貌isich sinn a鈥� coimhead an robh m'athair a鈥� cumail p脿ipear air beulaibh an teine is bhiodh e a鈥� faighinn drafts. Chaidh sinn a choimhead airson p脿ipear, chan fhaigheamaid but, ach a鈥� chiall d猫 fhuair sinn anns a鈥� phreasa ach briogais bib and brace a fhuair mo mh脿thair o fear a bha tighinn timcheall nan dorsan a鈥� reic, is air a cheannach airson mar gan canadh tu 鈥渟pecial occasion鈥�, agus chaidh mi fh矛n is Ailean, cha robh ach am bib and brace a chumail suas ri aghaidh a鈥� ghr猫at鈥�.

Oh th貌isich an teine a鈥� gabhail gu math. Cha robh guth gun robh t貌in na briogais a鈥� dol air a tharraing a-staigh dhan a ghr猫at鈥�!

An ath rud, bha ce貌 ann is obh obh! T貌in na briogais a鈥� gabhail. Thug sinn a-mach sin, is chuir sinn 脿s e. Ph脿isg sinn suas gu br猫agha e, is chuir sinn ann am pasgan e, a-staigh dhan drathair far an robh e roimhe.

Dh鈥檉hosgail sinn an uinneag ach an d鈥� rachadh am f脿ileadh a-mach.

Cola-deug 脿s d猫idh sin, dh鈥檉h貌n m鈥� athair ri mo mh脿thair, 鈥淥h, cudeigin on a鈥� chomhairle a鈥� tighinn a-nall a bhruidhinn rinn an-diugh.鈥� Bha e ag obair aig an rathad aig an 脿m.

鈥淥h ma-th脿, ars' m脿thair 鈥檚 d貌cha gun urrainn dhut a鈥� bhriogais 霉r a chur ort.鈥�

O a chagair! Thug mise s霉il air Ailean, is Ailean ormsa. An t-astar a bh鈥� againn a鈥� falbh dhan sgoil a mhadainn a bha siud, chuir e iongnadh oirre gu d猫 cho luath 鈥檚 a dh鈥檉halbh sinn dhan sgoil. Ach o bhr貌ineag, nuair a thill sinn dhachaigh, bha ceasnachadh an sin! Droch sgle貌 os cionn an taighe an latha sin!

Cha robh na athair ach m猫innear ann an Durham. Durham! Mo chreach 鈥檚 a th脿inig, far an robh na m猫innean a鈥� d霉nadh gun sgur nuair a bha e na ghille beag. A-nis, bha m猫inneadh airson gual an 矛re mhath san taigh-tasgaidh, na ph脿irt de dh鈥檈achdraidh.

Chaill athair a chosnadh agus bha e air an d貌il airson bliadhnaichean. Cha robh Jon, a mhac, ach seachd bliadhna a dh鈥檃ois aig an 脿m agus thug an suidheachadh san robh an teaghlach buaidh mh貌r air. Mar bu trice, cha robh sgillinn ruadh aca a shuathadh iad ri ch猫ile. Mar a dh鈥檉h脿s an gille suas, mhiannaich e nach biodh esan bochd. Th貌isich e a鈥� reic aig margaidhean, d猫ideagan cloinne saora an toiseach agus an uair sin br貌gan sp貌rs, agus cha b鈥� fhada gus an robh gu le貌r de dh鈥檃irgead aige airson a鈥� chiad bh霉th a cheannach. Ann am beagan bhliadhnaichean bha sreath bh霉ithean aige, Top Notch mar a bh鈥� orra.

脌s d猫idh sin cha chuireadh dad stad air. Aig deireadh nan ochdadan, reic e an t-sreath bh霉ithtean airson fortan agus th貌isich e a鈥� reic agus a鈥� ceannach earrannan ann am Margaidh nan Earrannan. Fhuair e a-mach gun robh e f矛or mhath air sin agus a-nis, aig aois leth-cheud 鈥檚 a dh脿, bha e cho beairteach ris an r矛gh Midas.
