There was certain Hercules en-

English blizzard ~ 1886.

the llcrcues some idea must be-
given of the effect Of the storm on
other methods of travel. FourteenI
mail coaches were abandoned on as
many roads. Another was dug out
of drifts five times between Exeter
and London.
Another was buried SO deep that
it took 500 men, principally saPpers
and miners. several hours to make a
passage to the coach and rescue the
mails and passengers, while near
Chatham the snow lay to a depth OF
thirty or forty feet, the military be.

I'm London the drifts were ten
feet deep. and hundreds Of men and
carts we're employed hauling snow
out to the fields in the suburbs. The
markets we're in a bad way. One
dav only four stall holders were
able to reach main market. Greens

were being sold for threepence a
bunch at market now fetched from
tenpence TO shilling, turnips, ear

possessor of bunch which he had
previously purchased for ninepence
realized for his prize no less sum
than 81 2s. Sd.
Amid all this confusion the pio-
neer railways covered themselves
with glory by running trains almost
without interruption. There was a
deep cutting on one line where the
snow had drifted badly, and great
numbers Of people turned out TO
see how the Hercules engine would

that she would be stopped, but 70
