The cottagers are poor farmer folk, big of heart but lean of purse. They starved themselves to feed the survivors, and the Red Cross supplies arrived in the nick of time to save them all, survivors and villagers as well. The photograph shows the parish church and cemetary, with Machrie Bay, the scene of the disaster in the distance.
