Now that I know the answer I do not think the question was a particularly good one; and the word 'telegram,' which they had not expected and did not want, seems to me quite as good an incident as the one which, without a clue, they had expected him to recall in connexion with 'Argonauts.' Besides, I happened myself to know about an Iceland trip in Mr. Alfred Holt's yacht 'Argo' and its poetic description by Mr. Mitchell Banks and Dr. Caton in a book in the drawing-room at Tent Lodge, Coniston (though the boys were not aware of my knowledge), but it never struck me that this was the thing wanted; and if it had come, the test would have been of inferior quality. Concerning the answer to 'Dartmoor,' his brothers said that COMING DOWN HILL was correct but incomplete; and that they didn't remember any FERRY. I therefore on another occasion, namely, on 22 October, during a sitting with Feda (that is to say, not a table sitting, but one in which Mrs. Leonard's control Feda was speaking and reporting messages), said--still knowing nothing about the matter beyond what I had obtained in the table sitting--"Raymond, do you remember about 'Dartmoor' and the hill?" The answer is recorded as follows, together with the explanatory note added soon afterwards--though the record is no doubt a little abbreviated, as there was some dramatic representation by Feda of sudden swerves and holding on:-- _From Sitting of O. J. L. and M. F. A. L. on_ 22 _October_ 1915. _'Feda' speaking_ O. J. L.--Raymond, do you remember about Dartmoor and the hill? Yes, he said something about that. He says it was exciting. What is that he says? Brake--something about a brake--putting the brake on. Then he says, sudden curve--a curve--he gives Feda a jerk like going round a quick curve. [I thought at the time that this was only padding, but subsequently learnt from Alec that it was right. It was on a very long night-journey on their motor, when the silencer had broken down by bursting, at the bottom of an exceptionally steep hill, and there was an unnerving noise. The one who was driving went down other steep hills at a great pace, with sudden applications of the brake and sudden quick curves, so that those at the back felt it dangerous, and ultimately had to stop him and insist on going slower. Raymond was in front with the one who was driving. The sensations of those at the back of the car were strongly connected with the brake and with curves; but they had mainly expected a reference from Raymond to the noise from the broken silencer, which they ultimately repaired during the same night with tools obtained at the first town they stopped at.] O. J. L.--Did he say anything about a ferry? No, he doesn't remember that he did. O. J. L.--Well, I got it down.
