A series of experiments in thought-transference at close quarters had been carried on by the narrators at intervals from November 1891 to October 1892. In sending the account of these experiments at a distance, Miss Campbell explains that in the trial on October 25th, "there was first an auditory impression, as if some one had said the word 'gloves,' and then the gloves themselves were visualised." (No. 1.) "_June_ 22_nd_, 1892. "Arranged that R. C. Despard should, when at the School of Medicine in Handel Street, W.C., between 11.50 and 11.55, fix her attention upon some object which C. M. Campbell, at 77 Chesterton Road, W., is by thought-transference to discover." PERCIPIENT'S ACCOUNT. "Owing to an unexpected delay, instead of being quietly at home at 11.50 A.M., I was waiting for my train at Baker Street, and as just at that time trains were moving away from both platforms, and there was the usual bustle going on, I thought it hopeless to try on my part; but just while I was thinking this I felt a sort of mental pull-up, which made me feel sure that Miss Despard was fixing _her_ attention, and directly after I felt 'my--compasses--no, scalpel,' seemed to see a flash of light as if on bright steel, and I thought of two scalpels, first with their points together, and then folding together into one; just then my train came up. "I write this down before having seen Miss Despard, so am still in ignorance whether I am correct in my surmise, but as I know what Miss Despard would probably be doing at ten minutes to twelve, I feel that that knowledge may have suggested the thought to me--though this idea did not occur to me until just this minute, as I have written it down. "C. M. CAMPBELL. "77 Chesterton Road, W." AGENT'S ACCOUNT. "At ten minutes to twelve I concentrated my mind on an object that happened to be in front of me at the time--two scalpels, crossed with their points together--but in about five minutes, as it occurred to me that the knowledge that I was then at the School of Medicine might suggest a similar idea to Miss Campbell, I tried to bring up a country scene, of a brook running through a field, with a patch of yellow marsh marigolds in the foreground. This second idea made no impression on Miss Campbell--perhaps owing to the bustle around her at the time. "R. C. DESPARD." (No. 2.) "_October_ 25_th_, 1892. "At 3.30 P.M. R. C. Despard is to fix her attention on some object, and C. M. Campbell, being in a different part of London, is by thought-transference to find out what that object is." PERCIPIENT'S ACCOUNT. "At 3.30 I was at home at 77 Chesterton Road, North Kensington, alone in the room.
