[36] Porrō praedictus prōcūrātor, fīnītā refectiōne, dīxit: “Deō adiuvante, revertar ad vōs, in diē adventūs Sānctī Spīritūs super apostolōs, cum dispendiīs vestrīs.” [37] Acceptā benedictiōne sānctī patris et omnium quī cum eō erant, reversus est in locum suum. Porrō venerābilis pater mānsit ibīdem praedictōs diēs. [38] Cōnsummātīs itaque diēbus fēstīs, sānctus Brendānus frātribus suīs praecēpit praeparāre nāvigium et implēre vāscula ex fonte. [39] Ducta iam nāvis ad mare, ecce praedictus socius cum nāvī onerātā ēscīs ad frātrēs vēnit. [40] Cumque haec omnia posuisset in nāviculā sānctī virī, ōsculātīs omnibus, reversus est unde vēnerat.
