Summary
A fourteen year old lad went to Loch Aoineart for mackerel and was missing for three days.
It was late autumn when a lad went to get mackerel for Dòmhnall Ruadh in Loch Aoineart. On his way back, a snow shower came and he got lost. After walking for a long time, he made for the Ushinish lighthouse. Then he saw cattle and waited with them until their owner came and took him home. The contributor was among the people who were out searching for him. The lad's father went to a woman for a 'frìth' [gift to find out hidden matter]. She told him that the boy would be home before him.
