Excerpt from David Livingstone
ON the forenoon of a certain/ day in September, 1826, a number of factory operatives were to be seen passing the time listlessly about the doors of their dwellings, near the mills at which they were employed at Low Blantyre, on.the banks Of the Clyde, about eight 'miles up the river from Glasgow. The ma chinery at the mills was driven by water-power, and when the river was in flood there was no escape for the tailwater; the great wheel was choked, the machinery was stopped, and the hands thrown out of employment.
The year, 1826 is memorable to survivors, who were then observant of times and seasons, from the failure Ofthe harvest. One of the floods that turned the crops into a heap in the field caused the stoppage on the occasion in queston.
