"The carriage arrived at the house about ten A. M., and Miss W. was found at the place agreed upon, in the dress in which she appeared at the lodge, and suffering from toothache. As she was a nervous person, nothing was said to her about her appearance at the gate. She died nine years afterwards." Sometimes an apparition seemingly intended for one person is not perceived by that person, but is seen by some other person present who may be a stranger to the agent or person whose image is seen. The following case is in point. It is from Mrs. Clerke, of Clifton Lodge, Farquhar Road, Upper Norwood, S. E., and also belongs to Mr. Gurney's collection:-- "In the month of August, 1864, about three or four o'clock in the afternoon, I was sitting reading in the verandah of our house in Barbadoes. My black nurse was driving my little girl, about eighteen months or so old, in her perambulator in the garden. I got up after some time to go into the house, not having noticed anything at all, when this black woman said to me, 'Missis, who was that gentleman that was talking to you just now?' 'There was no one talking to me,' I said. 'Oh, yes, dere was, Missis--a very pale gentleman, very tall, and he talked to you and you was very rude, for you never answered him.' I repeated there was no one, and got rather cross with the woman, and she begged me to write down the day, for she knew she had seen some one. I did, and in a few days I heard of the death of my brother in Tobago. Now the curious part is this, that I did not see him, but she--a stranger to him--did; and she said that he seemed very anxious for me to notice him. "MAY CLERKE." In answer to inquiries Mrs. Clerke says:-- "(1) The day of the death was the same, for I wrote it down. I think it was the third of August, but I know it was the same. "(2) The description 'very tall and pale' was accurate. "(3) I had no idea he was ill. He was only a few days ill. "(4) The woman had never seen him. She had been with me about eighteen months and I considered her truthful. She had no object in telling me." Her husband, Colonel Clerke, corroborates as follows:-- "I well remember that on the day on which Mr. John Brersford, my wife's brother, died in Tobago--after a short illness of which we were not aware--our black nurse declared she saw, at as nearly as possible the time of his death, a gentleman exactly answering to Mr. Brersford's description, leaning over the back of Mrs. Clerke's easy-chair in the open verandah. The figure was not seen by any one else. "SHADWELL H. CLERKE."
