I have a letter of Archie Gillespie( my great great grandfather) of Leckgruinart written 3 May 1880 to his brother John in Canada and I quote: I would write sooner than this if it had not been for that boat accident in LochIndall for I don't like to write to your family till you would get it from some of his own friends. But we are missing Robert writing for he always stop with us every time he would be in this district and he slept with myself the week before he was lost. I was in Port Charlotte at Parochial Board meeting next week after the accident and there were three of them found that day and I saw them. Dougall MacLelland and two ( indecipherable from script} and Duncan Sinclair, Tormisdale. But Archie Turner the owner of the boat and granddaughter of Don MacLachlan, Balinaby, is not found yet. The rest is all found. Islay Western Australia
