DAMAGED BY WATER. 1951 envelope from St. Louis to Chicago with a cancellation of FEB 6 1951. A violet two line cachet 'Mail damaged by water / Postage Paid' has been applied to the front of the cover. In late January and early February 1951 there was a very severe ice storm that left thousands of square miles under nearly a foot of ice. When this started to melt there would have been localised flooding and presumably that is what occurred to damage this envelope. An uncommon item and the only such one that I have recorded during this period to date

QUETTA EARTHQUAKE. 1935 cover to England endorsed ‘Air Mail’ and ‘No Stamps Available’ that has a fine strike of the straight line ‘QUETTA EARTH QUAKE POSTAGE FREE’ cachet. A triangular ‘I.S.’ h/s is on the front of the cover, on the back is a poor QUETTA 13 JU 35 cancel. The earthquake, measuring 7.7 on the Richter Scale struck at just after 3 a.m. on 31st May levelling the town and surrounding area to the ground, killing between 30,000 and 60,000 people. For a few weeks after all postal items sent from there went free of charge. A very fine example of mail from this disaster

A fine example of this free post, the cover being sent the day before the free post ended. Accompanying the cover is a post card showing the fire that devastated the city

1857 envelope to Leamington, Warwickshire, endorsed 'Per R.M.S. “Oneida” via Marseille', franked with a 6d cancelled by a barred obliterator with a MELBOURNE JA 26 1857. datestamp on the back. A London 4 MY 1857 datestamp is on the front of the cover and a Leamington 4 MY 57 arrival c.d.s. is on the back. The 'Oneida' sailed from Melbourne on January 28 with 10,156 oz of gold on board (£50,000) and 15 boxes of mail. On 23 February she put into King George's Sound with engine trouble. The gold, passengers and the mail were transferred to the 'European' which sailed from King George's Sound on 21 March and arrived at Suez on 19 April. The total journey took 98 days, well beyond the normal 65 – 70 days this trip should have taken

1896 U.S.A. STAGECOACH DISASTER. On November 16 1896, due to a landslide that blocked the road 6 miles north of Laytonville, Mendocino County, Ca. the stage driver was forced to cross Ten Mile Creek twice to avoid the blockage. The first crossing was made safely, but on the second, while attempting to regain the proper side of the river, the stagecoach overturned. The creek was in flood and the strong current swept the coach away, killing both the driver and two horses. An explanatory label was affixed to the recovered mail which was found four days later. A very scarce incident, only four covers having been recorded
