Le línn an choghad mhór a bheith ar siubhal san Eoraip do bhí árthach ag teacht go h-Éireann lé salann ó'n Rúis. Le línn í bheith ag teacht do thárlaidh go mbúail stoirm í agus chaitheadh sí géilleadh nó í bháthadh. Sé rud a dhein sí ná ionntóghadh isteach go dtí Cuas beag ar a dtugtar Cúas na Ceanainn.

    Ní raibh an captaín le fheiscint in aon áit agus an triúr eile. Tá sé ráidhte gur bé an taoide a sguabh amach íad. Do tháinig an triúr eile anuas arís agus cuireadh fios ar na Costguardí agus rugadar leo iad. Thugadar éadach agus bróga dhóibh mar an t-éadach do bhí ortha bhí sé stolta stracaighthe. I gcíonn seachtmhaine do d'imthigheadar abhaile in árthach a tháinig isteach i gCuan an Daingin.
