LAST ARMED INVASION Of ENGLAND I ? ? ? Ion. Yet is was an invasion. It was also the last time that a:; armed for other item that makes It interesting Just now was the Invaders' use of a to evade the war fleet guarding the France and England were at war. (They had been at war eff and on for 600 years.) And England, then as now. was supposed to be In hourly dread of Invasion. No one knew at Just what spot the French would try to land. So const guards were posted everywhere and mllltla companies were kept on duty night and day. On the morning of Feb. 22. 1797, a little line of warships and luggers fly-" ing the English flag was seen off the Pembrokeshire coast, headed Tor a nearby harbor. A Pencaer sailor, who a glass, shouted that the ships were French. The tidings spread from vil lage to village. Messengers were sent galloping In every direceltlon to arouse the whole region. People loaded the belonging of their families Into earts and started inland for safety. As the story spread It grew In size until rumor reached London thnt a French fleet which blackened the face of the waters was landing an army of 100,000 men at Pencaer. A goodly the inland flight, but stayed to help the local militia. They tore the lead, from the nearest cathedral roof and' melted it up Into bullets. Those who i had no muskets armed themselves' with scythes and pitchforks. And. several thousand strong, these defend ers of England massed to resist tbo; mediately rushed to the "rescue. Meantime the French force landed. It was barely 1,400 strong, made up of 600 regulars and S00 convicts who I had receive!! their liberty on condition that they should join the expedition. It was a raid rather than an invasion, in the truest sense of the word. To this day ,it Is not an absolutely known fact whether the 1.400 were the van guard of a much larger force or if In any c;\se they had baroly gotten ashore when the English fleet drove away the vessels in which the Invad ers had crossed from France, and the 1,400 were cut oft from any chanco of retreat. Having landed, they did not know just what to do. Soine of them?groups of the convicts?dosort ed and tried to hide themselves. It Is said that twelve of these convicts were rounded up and captured by one large and determined woman?Nom ina Nichols?who with no weapons but a pitchfork scared them so badly that they let her drive them to the nearest guard house. Lord Cawdor, with a handful of milltiameu and civilians, marched against the luckless invaders. Many women. with red petticoats wrapped around their shoulders (to look at a. distance. like military coats) ..were In his ranks. Setting his puny force in tattle array. Cawdor sent the French a summons to surrender. They replied that they would gladly yield if he ? ould promise them a safe return to France. Cawdor replied that the only terms he would accept were unconditional surrender, ar.d that unless the French should accept these terms by 2 p. m. on Feb. 25 he would hurl his army of 10.000 regulars upon them and destroy them. This bluff worked as success fully as If Cawdor had actually com manded 10.000 regulars Instead of the; little comic opera attachment of mil itia and peasants and red pettlcoated women. On the morning of Feb. 25 tlio sur render was signed and the French men meekly laid down their arms. Not untir too late did they find out that hey had a fighting chance for better terms. 3. S.
