GUEST,Pete Rogers Origins: Cadgwith Anthem (66* d) RE: Origins: Cadgwith Anthem 18 Mar 12

I thought it was a song relating to stealing from wrecks, though whether "The Beauty of Kashmir" was a real wreck or fictional I don't know. The "Caves in yonder mountains" are just where they hide the booty. Highway robbery in the second verse is the other lawless occupation, celebrated in what is really a song about a pair of bravado folk myths.
