28. On another day when Saint Kiaranus was in that island Angin, he
heard the voice of a man in the port wishing to enter the island; and
he said to his brethren, "Go ye, my brethren, and lead me hither him
who is to be your abbot after me." So the brethren, voyaging quickly,
found an unconsecrated youth in the port, whom despising they left
there. Coming back, they said unto Saint Kiaranus, "We found no man
there save an unconsecrated youth, who wandered as a fugitive in the
woods; he it is who calleth in the port. Far removed from abbotship
is _his_ rudeness!" To these Saint Kiaranus said: "Voyage ye without
delay and bring him with speed; for the Lord having revealed it to me,
by his voice I have recognised that he shall be your abbot after me."
When the brethren heard this, they forthwith led him in, and Saint
Kiaranus tonsured him, and he read diligently with him, and was filled
from day to day with the grace of God; and after the most blessed
Kiaranus, he was the holy abbot. For he is the blessed Aengus, son of
Luigse.
