ill be
so interested in this."
"'She held in her hand a letter from Mr. Burgess,
and proceeded to tell me that the previous night
she had heard, as she thought, Mr. Burgess fall
on the floor of the bedroom over her own. She
sprang out of bed.
"'Finding herself in the middle of the room, she
heard him call "Miss Steele!" three times. She
then suddenly remembered that Mr. Burgess was no
longer living in her hotel. She struck a light,
looked at the clock, and found it was 3 o'clock.
The following morning she felt so tired that when
giving orders to her cook, the latter noticed her
fatigue and commented upon it. She told the cook
the reason was that she heard Mr. Burgess
apparently calling her at 3 o'clock.
"'Miss Steele proceeded to say that Mr. Burgess
had, curiously enough, sent her that afternoon the
note which at that moment she held in her hand,
and in which he told her that he dreamt she had
appeared to him at 3 a.m. the previous night.
"'Miss Steele appeared much impressed and wondered
if anything had happened to Mr. Burgess. I
informed my husband that same night, on his return
home, of what Miss E. Steele had told me.
"'LAURA E. BAGGALLY'
"'On my return home on the evening of 6th March
my wife related to me what appears in her
statement above.
"'W. W. BAGGALLY'"
The above case is evidentially a good one, inasmuch as both Miss Emma
Steele and Mr. Burgess each reported on the morning of 6th March (the
one to her cook and the other to his landlord) their experiences of the
previous night before either of them was aware that a reciprocal
telepathic impression had occurred between them.
There appears to be evidence that telepathy can also occur between the
mind of a human being and that of an animal. The reader will doubtless
recollect Mr. H. Rider Haggard's case which appeared in the public
press. This gentleman, on the night of Saturday, 9th July 1904, dreamed
that a favourite dog of his eldest daughter was lying on its side among
brushwood by water, and that it was trying to transmit in an undefined
fashion the knowledge that it was dying.
