Wreck and Loss of Life: The Great Western Railway Submerged: Telegraphic Communication Stopped: Results of Monday’s storm and flood were not fully realized in many places until yesterday. Railway communication was stopped in several directions, and this, combined with the breakdown there and there of telegraphic communications, prevented the arrival of parcels and telegrams … (description of local damage in Devonshire) … Mr. Mark Knowles, cattle dealer, of Newton, has lost 30 sheep in Pinsent’s Marsh, on the Kingsteignton Road. Five other sheep were recovered alive on Monday evening. The floods now show signs of going back, though rain fell again yesterday.
