The rod and rings and strings, mentioned after the 'boat,' I don't
at present understand. So far as I have ascertained, the boys don't
understand, either, at present.]

I don't know whether I have got anything more that I can really call
a test. You will have to take, he says (he's laughing now)--take the
information about the old lady as a test.
O. J. L.--You mean what he began with? [_i.e._ about Mrs. Clegg.]
Yes.
O. J. L.--Well, it's a very good one.
He's been trying to find somebody whose name begins with
K. But it isn't Mrs. Kathie, it's a gentleman. He's been
trying to find him.
O. J. L.--What for?
He thought his mother would be interested. There's
something funny about this. One is in the spirit world,
but one they believe is still on the earth plane. He
hasn't come over yet. [One of the two referred to
is certainly dead; the other may possibly, but very
improbably, be a prisoner.] There's a good deal of mystery
about this, but I'm sure he isn't actually come over yet.
Some people think that because we are here, we have only
to go anywhere we choose, and find out anything we like.
But that's Tommy-rot. They are limited, but they send
messages to each other, and what he sincerely believes is,
that that man has not passed on.
O. J. L.--Mother thinks he has, and so do his people.
Yes, yes. I don't know whether it would be advisable to
tell them anything, but I have a feeling that he isn't
here. I have been looking for him everywhere.
He keeps on building up a J. He doesn't answer when Feda
asks what that is. He says there will be a few surprises
for people later on.
O. J. L.--Well, I take it that he wants me to understand that J. K.
is on our side?
Yes, he keeps nodding his head. Yes, in the body. Mind,
he says, I've got a feeling--I can only call it a
feeling--that he has been hurt, practically unconscious.
Anyway, time will prove if I am right.
O. J. L.--I hope he will continue to live, and come back.
I hope so too. Except for the possible doubt about it,
I would say tell them at once. But after all they are
happier in thinking that he has gone over, than that he's
in some place undergoing terrible privations.
Now he's saying something carefully to Feda. He says they
should not go by finding a stick. He wants you to put
that down--they ought not to go by finding a stick.
O. J. L.--Oh, they found a stick, did they?
Yes, that's how, yes.
