Aig àm a chunnacas atharrachaidhean mòra a' tighinn air Abhainn Chluaidh, chuir Màrtainn Dòmhnallach ùine seachad cuide ris a' "Skye Navy", ghabh e sgrìob a Thiriodh air bàta-cargu Mhic a' Bhriuthainn, an Loch Carrainn, airson a turas mu dheireadh chun an eilein agus chaidh e a Mhalaig, aon de na puirt iasgaich as motha air taobh siar na h-Alba a bha a' strì le ceanglaichean còmhdhail.
