In what seems to be only another version of this story, a herd-boy was sitting in the evening by a stream bathing his feet. A beautiful woman appeared on the other side of the stream, and asked him to pull a plant she pointed out, and make snuff of it for her. He refused, asking what need had she of snuff, when she had no nostrils? She asked him to cross the stream, but he again refused. When he went home his step-mother gave him his food and milk as usual. He gave the whole of it to his dog, and the dog died from the effects. A herdsman at Baile-phuill, in the west end of Tiree, fell asleep on _Cnoc Ghrianal_, at the eastern base of Heynish Hill, on a fine summer afternoon. He was awakened by a violent slap on the ear. On rubbing his eyes, and looking up, he saw a woman, the most beautiful he had ever seen, in a green dress, with a brooch fastening it at the neck, walking away from him. She went westward and he followed her for some distance, but she vanished, he could not tell how. A person in Mull reported that he saw several Fairy women together washing at a stream. He went near enough to see that they had only one nostril each. The places in Tiree where _cailleacha sìth_ (Fairy hags) were seen were at streams and pools of water on _Druim-buidhe_ (the Yellow Back), the links of Kennavara, and the bend of the hill (_lùbadh na beinne_) at Baile-phendrais. They have long since disappeared, the islanders having become too busy to attend to them. A Skyeman was told by one of these weird women never to put the burning end of a peat outside when making up the fire for the night. DONALD THRASHED BY THE FAIRY WOMAN.
