Archie was on the island of Rathlin with Bruce and such of Bruce's followers as remained with him. The fishermen had to go out in many weathers now, because of the visitors. Archie went out with them one day but a gale blew up so they turned back. The wind prevented them from getting to the land, and they had to head for an island where some monks had a monastery. The monks sheltered them until the storm had abated enough for them to get back to land. The king and his followers were very glad to get Archie back, and the king had a mission for him: to go and see if the Irish could help them or not. Archie set out with one of the fisherman's sons as interpreter. They got to the island and ended up in the same cave as some of the wild Irish.
More soon!
