Sault Ste. Marie, Mi.
March 10, 1888 Saturday

The worst storm of the year reached the Soo last Satur-
day night and howled all day Sunday in terrific shape. It
blockaded all the trains and the Sault did not receive any
mail until Thursday morning. The South Shore passenger
was snowed in just west of Wellsburg on its return trip
and did not reach the Soo until Monday night. The engine
was disabled by an eccentric strap being broken or it would
have reached the Soo Saturday night. There were 11 pass-
engers aboard. Conductor Loftus did his utmost to make their
imprisonment as pleasant as possible, until help arrived Mon-
day afternoon.
