THE CRIMEAN WAR SEEN IN THE SKIES.
About six months before the outbreak of the Crimean War, in 1853, John Meyler, Cilciffeth, saw a strange mirage in the sky. He was returning home late from Morville, and when nearing Penterwin he saw the image of armies in the skies. There were several battalions at first, and they increased in number till they spanned the heavens. There were two opposing forces, and he could distinctly see the image of men falling and of horses galloping across the firmament, and the clashing of great masses of men. He was so terrified that he called at Penbank and called the attention of Mr. James Morris, who lived at that place at that time, and he saw the same thing. This strange phenomenon appeared for about two hours.
The above account of this strange vision in the skies appeared in the “Cardiff Times,” a few years ago, sent to that paper by Cadrawd. Pembrokeshire has always been known as the land of phantasm.
