Summary

Hiding driftwood brought ashore by the tide.

When all the people in Berneray lived in Ruisigearraidh, any driftwood found had to be reported to the landlord. The contributor's father found a dozen planks. He hid them under seaweed, took them home by night, and, with the neighbours' help, by morning they were already part of the new house he was building.
