Some parts of New London county were blessed with sunshine on Friday, while others were deluged in moisture. In New London there was flashes of sunshine during good part of the day with the exception of the late afternoon. One peculiar circumstance in this con- nection was that people coming from New London here came abruptly into the rain at Mohegan. At the top of the Mohe- gan hill it was not raining while at the bottom there was a steady downpour. In the middle of the hill it looked as though a line had been drawn; on one side the ground was wet while only a few feet distant it was dry.
