Summary

Alasdair Mòr and the storm.

Angus tells of going fishing with a friend, and deciding to stay in a sheiling. Unfortunately, they discovered it had no roof, so they decided to leave the boat and go to Alasdair Mòr's house. They spent the night listening to Alasdair's stories. When they came out, they discovered there was a storm, and their boat had sunk. They eventually got it onto the shore undamaged, and recovered their nets and anchors. The nets were empty. They had nothing to show for listening to Alasdair's stories.
