- (continued from previous page)John Sullivan told me that on that Sunday he was out walking and when he was walking along the sea shore and every now and then a plover would jump out in front of him not able with hunger. Blackbirds, thrushes robins and other birds were found dead everywhere. The bird population was reduced so much that it was very rare thing to see a blackbird or any other bird. The frost lasted for three weeks with only one fine night. It was known ever since as the "Great Frost" or the "Long Frost".
