Turas Siar 148 - Pádraic S. as an gCartúr ag caint le Máirtín Mac Donnchadha

Bhuel tháinig sé anuas ansin agus bhí cúpla bád thíos ansin sa 'Sin é an fáth anois a bhfuil a fhios agam go mba iad toisc an earraigh ní raibh na báid sáite ná curtha síos. Bhí bád ansin i gcuid an chuaigh s'againn féin ag an am. Bád fear as tóin na hUltaigh, fear de bhunadh Inis Gé, John Bhidín Tairín a thugadh siad. Sin é an áit a mbíodh an bád aige agus

Well, he came down then and there were a couple of boats down there in the 'That's why now I know that they were because of the spring the boats were not sunk or put down. There was a boat there in our own part of the quay at the time. A man's boat from the bottom of the Ulster, a man from the Inis Gé origin, John Bhidín Tairín they used to call him.

And there was the dog.

Bhí sé ina shuí.

He was sitting.

When the dog knocked him down, he got up directly to go after the light and went to get a grip on the dog again, and the commotion started again, and he had to come to a gathering again and go after it, but finally, it went into the old drain that was down there going under the road.

Agus rinne sé a bhealach leis go dtáinig sé amach thíos ar an taobh eile ach

And he made his way until he came out down on the other side but.

Creidim gur mí-ádh dhó féin bhí an lán amuigh ag an am is cosúil gur ar an lán a bhí sé ag iarraidh déanamh í a tharraingt.

I believe it was bad luck for him that the tide was out at the time, it seems he was trying to pull her in on the tide.
