Leig iad sios am bata beag ach thainig an guth as a' chladh, "A Raghnaill 'ic Ailein Oig, thig an seo leat fhein agus thoir leat do chlaidheamh." "Seall sin a nis," thuirt an seann fhear, "tha thu faicinn nach tig thu as gu brath ma theid thu ann." "Biodh sin mar a bhitheas e, tha mise dol ann," thuirt esan. Leum e anns a bhata 's thug e leis an claidheamh 's dh'fhalbh e anns an dubh dall dorcha mar a bha i. Chaidh e air tir 's chitheadh e beagan de'n ghealaich an drasda 'sa rithis a' tighinn ris. Cha dean? adh e rathad troimh'n choille 'son droighn- each a bh'ann. Bha mu mhile gu leth neo da mhile aige ri dhol anns an uamharraidh bha sin gus an d'thainig e gu seorsa de "chlearadh" a bh'anns a choille. De bha stigh an sin ach cladh beag. Dar a thainig e teann air a' chladh, chun? naic e corp duine stobadh amach gu mheadh- oin as a' chladh--chum e direach a null far an robh e 's thuirt e ris, "Tha theann- sa gur tusa tha g' eughach ormsa?" "S mi," ars esan. "Tha mi 'g eughachd ort o chionn da cheud bliadhna." "Carson mis' seach duine sam bith eile?" "A chionns gu robh fhios agam nach robh duin' eile air an t- saoghal aig an robh mhisneachd a thigeadh an seo ach thu fhein,." "Well, well," fhrea- gair e, "chan urainn nach eil feum son- raichte agad ormsa." "Tha," thuirt esan, "tha. Dar a bha mis' og bha mi falbh comh' ri nighean og 's gheall mi dhith gun cumainn mo ghealltanas told him, "That's why I didn't want you to come in here. That voice has been calling for you 200 years before you were born. For God's sake, don't go near that. Stay a- way from it." "Well, well," he said, "now, if that voice has been calling for me before I was bom, and especially 200 years before I was bom, he must desperately need me." So he said, "Put one of the boats over, we're going a- shore. And so many of you are going with me." "No way, we don't want to go with you!" "You're coming with me," he said, "we're going. And going into that grave? yard." So after they lowered the boat over, the voice hollered, "Ronald Young Allan, come all alone. And take your sword." All by himself. Didn't want anybody else. Old fel? low told him, "Look, what'd I tell you? Are you foolish enough now to go in there?" "Well," he said, "so be it. I'm going. He must need me worse than I need him. So," he says, "I'm going. Needs me for some rea? son, if he's been calling for over 200 years. I'm going." Put the boat over, and he left. "Well," (the old man) says, "we'll never see that man again." So he left, and he went over, and he went ashore. Once he got ashore in that young spruce and sage and stuff that was there, he pulled the boat ashore. He left. He had to go about a mile or a half through that awful wilderness, travelling. The moon would now and then show through the clouds as he was making his way to the graveyard, carrying his sword with him.
