renewed with increased fury. Vessels are ar

ofthe country. A train left Saffron Walden. In
Essex. at 3 o'clock this morning bound for
Haverhll. II got stuck in the snow at Bart
| low. and. finding It i'm possible to proceed. re-
| turned TO Saffron Walden. The snow lies In
drifts twelve feet deep on the track.
| The S:40 express train from London for
| Cambridge was showed in yesterday morning
near Royston, One hundred men worked all
day long digging It out. Snow plouRhs had
gone out In advance OF the train. and they.
too. wero embedded in the drifts. Toward
night the track was sufficiently clear for the
train to proceed. All went we'll until Harston
was reached. whore It stuck again. The pas
sengers then abandoned IL.

dition to battle with the storm. The tug tried
to get lines to her. but failed. and the vessel
rapidly drifted toward the rocky shore under
her lee. The tug made port. but nothing has
since been heard Of the Garsdale

and all were drowned. When the vessel sank
her topmasts stood above the water Nine
men could be seen for hours clinging to the
upper rigging. with tho water sweeping over
them. The vessel was too far of shore for q
rocket to reach her. and It would have been
foolhardy to have attemp ted to get q ifeboat
through the surf that was pounding with ter
rifle roar upon the beach. There is scarcely a
chance that single man in the rigging will
get ashore alive. In fact. some OF them have
already been swept of into the sea-
