morning at the usual time, 1t was soon noised
about that there had been great iTesheG at VIM

lower part OF the Clarke House submerged. A
despatch from Conductor Beers announced that
the NaugatucK Railroad. for distance OF nearly
two miles between Winsted and BurrvlIle, WAS

Eggleston, with another train loaded with timber
ana the needul instruments Tor repairing all
damages to the track, started TOR the submerged
portion or the road. 1t was wondered by many

stream that lowed through the village or Wlnsted,
and emptied into the Pennington River; and the
river that rose SO high as to submer0e the railroad
was river running northerly from Burrville.
From nine to twelve, however, the Naugatuck
rose rapidly.
