O. J. L.--Well then, now I will give you one of the boys' questions, but I had better explain that you may not in every case understand the reference yourself. We can hardly expect you to answer all of them, and if you don't do one, I will pass on to another. But don't hurry, and we will take down whatever you choose to say on each of them. The first question is:-- O. J. L.--"Do you remember anything about the Argonauts?" (Silence for a short time.) O. J. L.--'Argonauts' is the word. Does it mean anything to you? Take your time. Yes. O. J. L.--Well, would you like to say what you remember? YES. Then, by repeating the alphabet, was spelt:-- TELEGRAM. O. J. L.--Is that the end of that answer? YES. O. J. L.--Well, now I will go on to the second question then. "What do you recollect about Dartmoor?" The time for thought was now much briefer, and the table began to spell pretty soon:-- COMING DOWN. O. J. L.--Is that all? NO. O. J. L.--Very well then, continue. HILL FERRY. O. J. L.--Is that the end of the answer? YES. O. J. L.--Very well then, now I will go on to the third question, which appears to be a bit complicated. "What do the following suggest to you:-- Evinrude O. B. P. Kaiser's sister." (No good answers were obtained to these questions: they seemed to awaken no reminiscence. Asked the name of the man to whom Raymond had given his dog, the table spelt out STALLARD quite correctly. But this was within our knowledge.) (_End of extract from record_.) NOTE ON THE REMINISCENCES AWAKENED BY THE WORDS 'ARGONAUTS' AND 'DARTMOOR' On reporting to my sons the answers given about 'Argonauts' and 'Dartmoor' they were not at all satisfied. I found, however, from the rest of the family that the word TELEGRAM had a meaning in connexion with 'Argonauts'--a meaning quite unknown to me or to my wife--but it was not the meaning that his brothers had expected. It seems that in a previous year, while his mother and I were away from home, the boys travelled by motor to somewhere in Devonshire, and (as they think) at Taunton Raymond had gone into a post office, sent a telegram home to say that they were all right, and had signed it 'Argonauts.' The girls at home remembered the telegram quite well; the other boys did not specially remember it. The kind of reference they had wanted, Raymond gave ultimately though meagrely, but only after so much time had elapsed that the test had lost its value, and only after I had been told to switch him on to "Tent Lodge, Coniston," as a clue.
