  • We'll a' gang to Poyais thegither, We'll a' gang ower the seas thegither, To fairer lands and brighter skies, Nor sigh again for Hieland heather. (en)
  • ... disease seized upon them and spread rapidly. Lack of proper food and water, and failure to take the requisite sanitary precautions, brought on intermittent fever and dysentery. ... Whole families were ill. Most of the sufferers lay on the ground without other protection from the sun and rain than a few leaves and branches thrown across some sticks. Many were so weak as to be unable to crawl to the woods for the common offices of nature. The stench arising from the filth they were in was unendurable. (en)
