Biggest snake story comes to Saybrook from Devil's Hop Yard
Uriah Bela of Devil's Hop Yard near East Lyme tells a New York Sun reporter of a spring discovery in woods near Comstock's Ridge. A wheelbarrow load of large brick-colored snakes, many over eighteen inches, were found near telegraph wires. Bela theorizes the blast that woke the wires caused a black snake colony to surge toward Saybrook, with one wire acting as a deadly path. Snakes crossing the line apparently created a fatal short circuit, shocking and killing several while others survived by curling into knots that broke the circuit. Bela estimates eleven snakes died, ranging up to three feet in length.
