"On the night of September 9th, 1848," writes his wife, "I was lying on
my bed, between sleeping and waking, when I distinctly saw my husband
being carried off the field seriously wounded, and heard his voice,
saying, 'Take this ring off my finger and send it to my wife.' All the
next day I could not get the sight or the voice out of my mind. In due
time I heard of General R. having been seriously wounded in the assault
of Mooltan. He survived, however, and is still living. It was not for
some time after the siege that I heard from General L., the officer who
helped to carry my husband off the field, that the request as to the
ring was actually made by him, just as I heard it at Ferozepore at that
very time."
The following, related by Mrs. Crowe, is interesting, particularly in
its aspect as a warning:
"A few years ago, Dr. Watson, now residing at Glasgow, dreamt that he
received a summons to attend a patient at a place some miles from where
he was living; that he started on horseback, and that as he was
crossing a moor, he saw a bull making furiously at him, whose horns he
escaped only by taking refuge on a spot inaccessible to the animal,
where he waited a long time till some people, observing his situation,
came to his assistance and released him. While at breakfast the
following morning the summons came, and smiling at the odd co-incidence
(as he thought it), he started on horseback. He was quite ignorant of
the road he had to go, but by and by he arrived at the moor, which he
recognized, and presently the bull appeared, coming full tilt towards
him. But his dream had shown him the place of refuge, for which he
instantly made, and there he spent three or four hours besieged by the
animal, till the country people set him free. Dr. Watson declared that
but for the dream he should not have known in what direction to run for
safety."
This case is an instance of Future Time Psychomancy, as the student
will readily see. Here is another case coming under the same
classification. It is related by Dr. Lee:
