xx LETTERS TO MARCO 135 



cannot get right, and which I feel must be 

 done before I can go on with the rest of the 

 work. I live in hope, however.

P.S. Just as I was sending this to post I 

 came across the enclosed cutting from a local 

 paper about the stampede of sheep. It gives 

 the date and some further particulars. 



THE STAMPEDE OF SHEEP. We are informed that the 

 phenomenon which occurred during the night of the 3rd 

 November was experienced to a considerable extent in the 

 district west of Abingdon, as well as in those parishes lying 

 to the south and south-east previously mentioned. On Mr. 

 T. Floyd's farm, at Frilford, a wall fell in three places, and 

 the sheep, as well as those at Appleton and other parishes, 

 took fright in the same extraordinary manner as did the 

 flocks of the whole country side, ranging, it is said, from 

 Faringdon to Reading.
