A Welsh Legend.

In Wales there is legend Of Irish
smugglers who arrived at Llanddona
many years ago in a boat without rud
der or oars. They were looked upon.
according to the Irish custom of send
ing malefactors to sea doom in this
plight as outlaws. However. they had
been allowed to land. and Il spring of
water bursting forth in the sand at the
place was taken as Il sign of their right
to refuge. But they i'll repaid the
Welsh. The men lived by smuggling.
the women by witchcraft. 1t was not
possible to overcome the smusglers in
fray, for each carried about with him
black fly tied in knot of his ker
chief, and the moment the knot was
undone the fly flew at the eyes of the
opponents and blinded them. If the
Llanddona witches attended Il market
and bid for anything no one ventured
to bid against them.
