With the landing of a 2nd Martian craft the army attempts to surround the Woking pit.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In London medicine continues to be at the forefront of Toni\u2019s mind, fuelled by the talk she attends by Marie and Pierre Curie, but on the way home the preceding evening she had seen a strange light in the sky.\u00a0 As a result she finds herself thinking of the idea of life on Mars. And because she\u2019s friends with the brother of the renowned HG Wells, curiosity begins to stir.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Recalled to their barracks Morant and Vogan have decided to go AWOL to attend the Curie\u2019s talk on Saturday in Oxford.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Police records show that several witnesses from Woking reported that shortly after midnight they saw a star fall from heaven into the pine-woods to the northwest. It fell with a greenish light, causing a flash of light like summer lightning<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Throughout the night witnesses continue to describe a light-ray, like the beam of a warship’s searchlight, sweeping the common around the pit, often followed by what some people describe as a “Heat-Ray”. Those on the common also report hearing the sound of hammering from the pit.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Ship\u2019s company has become more tense since yesterday evening. Mr. Farmer\u2019s wireless continues to bring us frightful news of more falling stars and fighting in Essex with the army having been mobilized.<\/p>\n

While ‘The Times’ of 4 June accepts Ogilvy\u2019s view that it would be impossible for the Martians to establish themselves on Earth because of the difference in gravity, with Earth\u2019s being 3 times Mars. We now know Ogilvy failed to account for Earth’s higher oxygen level, and the Martian’s machines.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Brown volunteers to stay behind so he can cover for us again. It should be alright if we get back from Oxford before first bugle. We can\u2019t get train tickets to Oxford, so Vogan booked the stagecoach. The return on the overnight coach will get us back in time.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Great lecture on #germtheory today. @listersantiseptics was there in person! The great man himself spoke on #antisepsis. Can\u2019t believe #London was so #hostile to him initially. #antisepsissaveslives<\/p>\n

The recently opened Woking Police Station (1887) receives several reports of fires in the pine-woods about the Byfleet Golf Links as the result of the landing of the second Martian craft.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

A police liason with the recently arrived military forces recalled turning back the Woking Fire Brigade’s new 3 horse tender, which had responded to requests from the owners of the Byfleet Golf Links who were concerned at the possibility of fire threating their facilities.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Constable’s actions in turning the five men back undoubtedly saved their lives, and the future of the Woking FC, with whom all 5 men played. The club had only been formed in 1887, and had joined the West Surrey League in 1895\u201396, winning the title by one point.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
