Summary

Spirits of the dead assisting a boat caught in bad weather.

A boat with a cargo of lime was caught in bad weather and went on fire. Two old men were aboard and heard a voice telling them to head for Canna. As they did so, they saw two men who had drowned at sea. One of the men recognised them as his father's brothers.

Fragment about people who altered the boundaries of their land having to come back from the dead to put them right.
