gratings to be eaten by vultures. Many of the unseen visitors were in favour of adopting themethods of Hindu cremation.42(31) October 17, 1905. Circle of fifteen persons.Fifteen minutes or so after the materialisations began to appear I saw a light over Husk’shead. This was corroborated by a clairvoyante in the circle, who saw this light detach itself fromthe medium as a form, and move to a position over me, where it floated very bright. Another lady,who was a stranger, also saw this light. It remained by me for nearly an hour.On October 21, in my library at Southsea, my relative A. was sitting at a ouija board, whenthe word “Buller” was spelt out. At the seance on October 23 Uncle said he came to my room on theprevious Saturday night (21), and tried to impress A. When asked what he said, he replied: “Oh! Icannot remember exactly. Probably ‘I’m your uncle,’ or ‘Uncle’; or perhaps I gave my name,‘Buller.’” Uncle always speaks as if he had a stone in his mouth. He certainly said “Buller.” Hiscorrect name when in earth life was Muller.Note the curious way the name came out in my room. The sensitive A. was playing with theIndia pointer, but it is evident the name came to him first clairaudiently. The hand only impressedthe pointer at the command of the brain.I was sitting on Husk’s left, two feet from him. The left side of my head was touched severaltimes. Even supposing Husk’s right hand to be disengaged, it would have been impossible for himto have reached this distance without attracting the attention of the lady who sat between us.(32) November 7, 1905. Circle of fourteen people.The clairvoyante, Mrs. Endicott, of Brixham, in Devonshire, was sitting on my left. Soon after JohnKing came a white form was seen by her at my left shoulder, and she received the followingmessages:—(a) “I am sorry my sister has been ill. She is better now.” (b) “Jam going to pay a visitwith my sister.” The figure seen clairvoyantly was Iola. Her sister had been ill, and was then better.The day following the seance (the 8th) her sister went for a long distance into the country, to pay avisit of condolence and assistance to another sister who had recently lost her husband. It is hardlynecessary to say that Mrs. Endicott was entirely ignorant of Iola or her sisters in earth life.November 14, 1905. Circle of fourteen people.Several spirits made themselves known to sitters by singing familiar tunes or playing familiar airson the zither.A small hand came round the left side of my head, and touched me several times.November 27, 1905. Circle of fifteen people. I sat next to Mrs. Imison (Nurse Graham), awell-known clairvoyante. She described a lady very near me on my right. As she had never been toa materialisation seance before and was a stranger to us all, I think what she said from time to timemay be taken as good evidence. With regard to the spirit who stood near me, she corroborated thestatements of all other clairvoyantes whom I had met when sitting with Husk. She also told me shesaw Uncle, the Cardinal, Ebenezer playing the zither, the angel choir, and the singers of the solos;she described the band of light which joined Uncle to the solar plexus of the medium, and, later,how this kind of band joined each materialisation to Husk. The power was very strong, for nearlythe whole evening I felt wafts of air across my knuckles.November 28, 1905. Circle of twelve people.Just before John King came my left shoulder was gripped. I asked, “Who is it?” The replywas the name of a man who had denied spirit return in life, and who, about six months before, hadsat with me at one of Husk’s seances. He continued, “Yes! I give in.” The. curious thing was thatthis was the first evening since his death that three of his friends were present together at a seance.“Tom Cole,” a Lancashire miner, announced himself, and sung a song in the Lancashiredialect.
