The telegraph reaches Grauburg

The first message sent is the front-line report. The town turned out to see it work. It worked.

Grauburg: The telegraph reaches Grauburg. The first message sent is the front-line report. Speaking to this journal, a schoolmaster who happened to be passing said: 'Nobody wanted to be the first to say anything.'

By the next morning Grauburg had returned to its ordinary business, frost having made the causeway treacherous. A woman selling eels at the corner said the town had seen the like before and would see it again.

Those concerned: Grauburg (location); Garrison Gate (street).

The Grand Chancellor, Nadja Maller, has been briefed.

The Herald will follow the matter.
