awoke in her fright and said to her husband:  ’I must go to my mother at once; do order the carriage.  I am sure that she is taken ill.’  On the way to her mother’s house, where two roads meet, she saw Lady G.’s carriage approaching.  When they met each asked the other why she was there.  They both related the same experience and impression.  When they reached their mother’s house, they found that she was dying, and had expressed an earnest wish to see them.”

Another case of a similar nature is this:  “At the siege of Mooltan, Major General R., then adjutant of his regiment, was severely wounded and supposed himself to be dying.  He requested that his ring be taken off his finger and sent to his wife.  At the same time his wife was at Ferozepore, one hundred and fifty miles distant, lying on her bed, in a state half way between waking and sleeping.  She saw her husband being taken off the field, and heard his voice saying:  ’Take this ring off my finger, and send it to my wife.’”

This case bears the marks of very strong telepathy, but also has a suspicious resemblance to clairvoyance accompanied by clairaudience.  Or perhaps it is a combination of both telepathy and clairvoyance.  It is impossible to determine which, in absence of more detailed information.  The message of persons dying, or believing themselves to be approaching death, are frequently very strong, for certain reasons well known to occultists.  But there is nothing supernatural about the phenomena, and in most cases it is merely a case of strong telepathy.

The Society also reports the following interesting case:  “A. was awake, and strongly willed to make himself known to two friends who at that time (one o’clock in the morning) were asleep.  When he met them a few days afterward, they both told him that at one o’clock they had awakened under the impression that he was in their room.  The experience was so vivid that they could not go to sleep for some time, and looked at their watches to note the time.”  Cases of this kind are quite common, and many experimenters have had equally good results with this phase of thought transference.  You will remember that there is no actual projection of the astral body, in most of these cases, but merely a strong impression caused by concentrated thought.

Another interesting case is that of the late Bishop Wilberforce, and is recorded in his biography, as follows:  The Bishop was in his library at Cuddleson, with three or four of his clergy with him at the same table.  The Bishop suddenly raised his hand to his head, and exclaimed:  “I am certain that something has happened to one of my sons.”  It afterwards transpired that just at that time his eldest son’s foot was badly crushed by an accident on board his ship, the son being at sea.  The Bishop himself recorded the circumstance in a letter to Miss Noel, saying:  “It is curious that at the time of his accident I was so possessed with the depressing
