Tate, With the Legion Noire, landed
near Fishguard intending to march on
md burn Bristol. When the expedition
appeared off the coast there was only a
handful OF volunteers available to op-
pose them. and Lord Cawdor, who was
in command. mustered all the Welsh
women he could gather together.
Each of these wore a long red cloak
descending. petticoat fashion,. almost to
her heels, and thus attired they were
made to march and. .countermarch
among the bills, presenting themselves
at different points to the view of the
enemy in such a way as to give the i'm
preston Of red uniformed troops taking
up position. The French were so<puz-
zled by their appearance that, although
they landed, they could not make up
their minds to advance until sufficient
time had elapsed to raise the country
and bring forward real force strong
enough to beat them back.-Pearson's
