Bha an Siorram ann an Inbhir 脵ige airson a鈥� mh矛-rian anns a鈥� bhaile a thoirt gu ceann. Chuir e feachd a-mach airson gr猫im fhaighinn air Raibeart D貌mhnallach. Bha Raibeart 脿 Le貌dhas. Bha an Siorram dhen bheachd gun do th貌isich e an aimhreit air a bheil 鈥淪abaid Mh貌r Inbhir 脵ige鈥�.

Ach fhuair Raibeart fios. Theich e. Aig Thrumster, gu deas air Inbhir 脵ige, ghabh e coidse thairis. Chaidh e gu Poll I霉 anns a鈥� choidse. Ann am Poll I霉, ghabh e b脿ta gu na h-Eileanan a-Muigh. Chaidh e am falach ann an Sg矛re nan Loch ann an Le貌dhas.

Ann an Inbhir 脵ige, ch霉m an Siorram na saighdearan aige am falach. Chaidh innse don mh貌r-shluagh gun a bhith a鈥� dol air na sr脿idean. Aig deich uairean a dh鈥檕idhche, fhuair an Siorram droch naidheachd. Chaidh grunnan Gh脿idheal a sh脿thadh le sgeinean ann am Pulteneytown. 鈥橲 iad gillean 脿s a鈥� bhaile fh猫in a rinn an s脿thadh. Gu fortanach, cha deach duine a mharbhadh. Bha poilis is saighdearan a鈥� coiseachd nan sr脿idean airson beagan l脿ithean. Ach bha Inbhir 脵ige s矛theil.

Cha do dh矛ochuimhnich na h-霉ghdarrasan mu Raibeart D貌mhnallach, ge-t脿. Chaidh barantas air a shon a Ste貌rnabhagh. Ach bha e am falach air na Lochan. Chaidh seachdainean seachad. Cha do thachair dad. Th貌isich Raibeart air a dhol a-mach gu c猫ilidhean. Chuala na poilis mu dheidhinn. Oidhche a bha seo, chaidh dithis phoileas 脿 Ste貌rnabhagh ann.

Chaidh Raibeart a cheangal le glas-l脿mh ri fear de na poilis. Th貌isich iad air coiseachd a Ste貌rnabhagh. Bha m貌ran de mhuinntir na sg矛re nan cois. Bha iad uile a鈥� dol seachad air loch. Thuirt Raibeart gun robh e a鈥� dol a leum a-steach don loch. Thuirt e gun robh e a鈥� dol a thoirt a鈥� phoilis leis. 脌s d猫idh sp脿irn fhuair Raibeart ma sgaoil. Theich e bhon eilean. Bha e na mharaiche 脿s d猫idh sin. Chaidh a bh脿thadh ann an Sasainn.

Cha robh f脿ilte cho cridheil air na h-iasgairean G脿idhealach 脿s d猫idh Sabaid Mh貌r Inbhir 脵ige. 脌s d猫idh sin, cha robh na coitheanalan G脿idhlig anns a鈥� bhaile idir cho m貌r 鈥檚 a bha iad roimhe.
