The translation (and the real original) is on my texts page, and copied here: The Story of the Shipwrecked Man [CR], which appeared in Lla Sul on 14 July, 1898 (here translated from the Brithenig). dol' om�n il sezlonds le llongfrangei�n: Pernauigasot c' om perry vor, et durant ke domonis.se az al isel, rompus sa la sew llonga.

He lived several years and at last was recued by the Royal Navy. The captain asked him: "Why do you have two chapels here?" The captain, a Scot, knew that the Comro were ardent church goers, but two chapels for one man is too much! He pointed out one of them and said: "That's where I go to church of a Sunday." "And the other?" asked the captain. "Ah, that one. I don't never go there of a Sunday!" Your translation looks good! Sounds good too! :)Happily I can now read the unicode, but looking below, it seems I can't reply with the unicode intact. > </unicode> > > That was quite a difficult one, because I don't > know Spanish at all, and Kerno > can be tough too!
