| Galveston, March 28, 1863 |
| Yesterday Evening the train {on
the Galveston, Houston & Henderson RR} did not arrive from
Houston until 8 o’clock. The freight was so great that the
engine was incapable of taking it beyond Virginia Point, where eleven
cars out of thirty were switched off. After taking the balance
on the bridge the locomotive started to Galveston for a fresh supply
of fuel. Many of the passengers, impatient of further delay,
resolved to accomplish the remainder of the journey, about 6 miles, on
foot and arrived home hungry, dissatisfied and fatigued with the
day’s adventure. |
