DENSE FOG
ENGLAND SUFFERS TRAFFIC DISLOCATED SEVERAL MISHAPS SHOPPING IMPEDED PEE-CHEISTMAS CROWDS By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Received December 23. 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, Dec. 22 A dense fog impeded Christmas shopping in London and in provincial towns in England. It brought to a standstill bundre'ds of lorries with Christmas goods on main roads, and paralysed communications through-
out the country. A lorry collided with a bus near Doncaster and caught fire, the driver being burnt to death. A worn art' walking in Leicester stumbled over an obstacle which turned out to be a dead man. Apparently he had been the victim of a stroke. The pilot of an Air Force machine lost his bearings and was forced to land on the Isle of Sheppev. The aeroplane was overturned, but the occupants were not hurl;. A seaplane was stranded on a mudbank iu the Medway. Men in boats took off the pilot and two passengers. A ferry steamer collided with a trailer on the Tyne and both were damaced. Shipping was almost stationary on the Thames, Tyne an^Humber.
