When poor weather brought a poor harvest, some Manx landowners wanted to ship grain off the Island to take advantage of higher market prices elsewhere - but leaving the Island with a shortage and prices beyond the reach of many people for their staple food. The outcome was rioting, which started in Peel on 29th September 1821 and spread to Douglas soon after.
Our story in Manx is the opening part of a tale, originally in English by Mike Scofield, about someone who enjoys solitude in the wilderness, but after a month away returns to find people behaving very strangely - thanks to new software on mobile phones.
