Cruatan  [duchas:4675182]

Táinig sna dhroch oídhche gaoithe fadó sa bhliadhain 1839 agus í ag séideadh anúas ón gCom Beag chun Baile an Ghainín.

Bhí múinntir críona m-athair ag maireachtain i mBaile an Ghainín an úair sin. Tig-beag sop a bhí aca agus súgán tuídhe á ceanghal. Bhí na h-aon ghála gaoithe ag séideadh tríd an abhainn anúas chucha agus ba gheall lé tóirneach gach aon ghála acu. Bhíodar isteach is amach ar feadh na h-oidhce agus slúaiste aca ag caitheamh aoileach anáirde ar an dtig chun na fuadhúcsí é. Bhí an oidhce ag neartú léithe go bhfuaguidheach an tig a bhí ceangailte

le Seán Ó Bheaglaoí. Ní fhágad cleith ná scolb ná scraithín air. Siné an úair a bhí múinntir Shúilleabháin ag breith chúcha féin mar bhí an gaoth ag dul greamuidhthe i gceann a dtíghe féin. Chuadar i gcabhair a chéile agus rugadar leó dréimirí agus chuireadar cloch mór anáirde ar an dtig. Chúadar isteach annsan agus i gcionn tamaill chúaidh duine acu amach. Núair tháinig sé isteach arís. "Cabhair Dé chúghain a Sheáin ar seiseann le na dhriotháir tá an talamh agus an tig bán le sneachta". Beidh an ghaoth ag cúincí as so amach. Ní raibh faic imthighthe ar an dtig.
