GREAT LANDSLIP ON THE SOUTH DEVON RAILWAIr• Dec. 29.—A most tremendous fall of cliff took place 316,
),
terday on this line between Dawlish and Teignraouto
On the formation :of the line it was found necessary
cut' a tunnel through the rocks known as ,t The rgrs
as
son and Clerk." A portion 'of Langstone cliff Ic
thus cut, off, and its base being undermined v
the , action of the water, great fears were ellter,
tained foy its safety. The recent heavy rain and bil
at
ricanes increased the danger, and men were stationed
various, points to give notice immediately anything oe
he
curred. The necessity of the adoption of such a °tithe
was first experienced on Sunday, when a portion of 0
cliff fell down near Holcombe tunnel. The 8.2 it
down train had just left the Dawlish station whe-ito
occurred, but by the promptness with which
theriled
on the look-out gave notice of the accident it was stePPh.
in time,, or there would have been a fearful crash. ae
large body of men was soon obtained, and the line Wro.
cleared in time for the 12.7 up train. Yesterday I'Vlf-
ing, however, there was a terrific fall of cliff ; at abeut„l,
past 1 o'clock several tons of Langstone-cliff fell w"
tremendous crash, covering the line for some'dis°:nbe;
and rendering all traffic impossible. The passenger,"ooll
all the trains were obliged to be conveyed from Pa",ecl
to Teignmouth, and vice versa, in cabs, omnibuses,f
every other description of vehicle which the 011 007
could obtain. The telegraphic wires were also br°oo,
and all communication with the stations below was
,:vere
for the time, prevented. Large gangs of meniebris•
speedily put to work to clear the line of the
rs,
Mr. Brunel, the engineer, with several of the direct the
went to the spot and superintended the removal °, vv./
fallen mass. Fortunately, no life was lost, nor ba' °sea
heard of a single accident to the person. It is suPPitioti
that the storm on Sunday night hastened the deT°,.rea!
of the cliff, as it visited this neighbourhood with ;Ili&
severity, stones weighing half a cwt. each being e`
up into Teignmouth by the force of the waves.
