Several miners reported having bitter
journeys. The freezing weather and drifting
snow recalled many scenes depicted by
George Kennan in his siberian" tales
Jere. Boughey and Thomas Evans, two
men of town who work at the Suffolk colliery,
had an particularly hard time reaching home
at midnight. A heavy gale was blowing
directly in their faces all the way and the
snow drifted so thick that they were not able
10 see the ground at their feet. At one time
they were tempted to return to the coliery,
but as they had already travelled quite dis
tance they pushed on. After struggling along
for more than double the time which is
usually required to walk from the colliery to
town they halted and found themselves close
to The limits of Eyerett's farm. 1t was bitter
cold and the snow continued to drift in great
thick clouds. Again overcoming the discour-
aging prospects the two men pushed ahead and
after another struggle of over an hour and a
half they succeed in getting within the shelter
of the buildings in town. The men say it was
the worst experience they have ever had
All the miners who travelled home in the
storm says that it was little short of the great

members of the Welsh Baptist church assem-
