Southern England Enveloped in Fog
SEyERAL ROAD ACCIDENTS OCCUR (British Official Wireless.) Received Tuesday, 7 p.m. * RUGBY, Nov. 19. London and the greater part of Southern England were to-day envoloped in a fog, which, according to forecasts, is likely to persist until noon to-morrow. The movement of vessels in the 'Thames estuary was suspended, and on road and rail the pace of traffic was slowed down. Several road accidents occurred, but so far they appear to have been unaccompanied by loss of life or serious injury to travellers. Motorists Compelled to Toot Received Tuesday, 7.35 p.m. LONDON, Nov. 19. The Belisha beacons were useless in winter’s first heavy fog, because they were not lit and were, therefore, invisible to motorists and pedestrians. The order silencing motor-horns late at night was broken, because drivers, groping their way across junctions, felt compelled to toot.
