An engine hauling a way-freight from London to Wingham was stalled in a drift north of Beigrave, a 50 mile gale and snow falling in blinding heaps gave the crew a bad tinie. The train was literally lost and a. passenger train, known to be following, had 'to be detained at Belgrave until the freight could be traced. A rescue party was finally sent out and after making the five miles with difficulty,• they located the train and attempted to rlig it out. Finally another engine managed 'to get through from Belgrave and hauled the freight back to that station. The freight eventually reached, Wingham at 3.40 a.ma, in- stead :of 7 p.m., the previous night, as scheduled. • Another item stated that Charles Conk, of the 'Union Furniture Fac- tory, had lest_ the ends of two fingers, with two others -badly crushed, when he was caught in a macnine on which he' was working.
