INSCRIBED STONES. 113 



In reply to my enquiries, made as soon as I had heard of 

 its fall, the following accounts reached me : — 



" Penzance, 16th November, 1894." 



" , . The low lands are still under water. The Inscribed 

 Stone has not been forgotten. It apparently has fallen close by 

 where it stood, for I am told the iron hand-rail is still attached. 

 At present it is quite impossible to get at it, the depth and force 



of the rushing stream are so great Precautions are taken as 



to its being rescued

" Gulval Vicarage, Nov. 17th, 1894." 



"....I inspected the stone to-day. Its foundation gave 

 way, and the iron rail seems to have served a good purpose by 

 lowering it gradually into the water. When the time comes, I 



will see to all care being taken as to its re-erection When 



I first came to Gulval this stone formed part of the foot-way at 

 Bleu-Bridge ; and the late Mr. Gr. Dennis John placed it, for 

 preservation, in its late upright position, over 50 years ago. . . .

"5, Clarence Place, Penzance, 



Wednesday night, Nov. 28th, 1894. 



"... .Mr. Wingfield and I superintended the fixing of the 

 Inscribed Stone at Bleu-Bridge in a far safer position to-day. . . 

 The day after the storm and flood I made arrangements for its 

 recovery, and I afterwards found Mr. Wingfield had interested 

 himself in the matter." 



" I enclose a rough sketch of the stone with the accurate 

 measurements. [Length, 7-ft. 9-in.; width, 1-ft. 8-in., and 1-ft. 

 9-in. at top and bottom portions, and 2-ft. across centre ; 

 thickness 1 foot, near the ends, and 1-ft. 2-in. in the centre].. .
