Summary

The boat that was wrecked on rocks off Vatersay.

A ship went aground on a reef on the shores of Vatersay. The crew tried to save themselves by jumping ashore, but none were successful. One man, who was ill in bed, got up and climbed along the boat's bowsprit to the shore. He crawled on his knees until he got to the shepherd's house at Caolas.
