ABSTRACT

The eighth morning from the day in which the Red Reaver's ship was relaunched from the harbour of Dieppe, Wallace, its present commander, and now the representative of that once formidable pirate, entered between the castled shores of the Frith of Tay, and cast anchor under the towers of Dundee. As he bore the white flag of peace, no opposition was made to his landing; and the sight of Sir Edwin Ruthven, who was the first to leap on the beach, satisfied the inhabitants that all who came with him must be friends to Scotland.
