Summary
Hugh MacKinnon of Scarinish in Australia.
When the farmer at Hynish died, his son left for Australia. He was a building contractor, and there was a Tiree man there who was a beachcomber. He went to ask the contractor for a job, and he employed him to shift stones, just to be able to give him a job. The beachcomber's name was Hugh MacKinnon. He had owned a boat, but lost it through drink.
