_April 6th, Tuesday._--Mr. T---- writes under this date:--

"To my room last night about 11 P.M. Loud thuds on the floor
above me, and a heavy thud against the door dividing my room
(No. 1) from the dressing-room beyond (No. 2). I went out and
listened at the servants' staircase. They were talking, but not
moving about. [I learnt on inquiry that they were all in bed by
10.30.--A.G.F.] I went to sleep immediately after I got to bed,
but woke up later with a violent start, as if by a loud noise,
though I heard nothing. I waited a few minutes and then looked
at my watch. It was 12.30. I heard voices talking pretty loud. I
was awake over three-quarters of an hour, then slept till
5.30."

Mr. B. S---- was out fishing with Mr. T---- in the morning, and
came in to lunch and again to dinner. In the evening I had a
good deal of talk with him.

This afternoon Mrs. ----, a lady well acquainted with the

though she agreed it was rather a sustained effort.

I also called to say "good-bye" to Mrs. S.----, to whom I
remarked that, though I could not doubt the existence of
phenomena at B----, we had been most comfortable, and had
greatly liked the place.

Early this morning (I am still sleeping in No. 5) I heard the
familiar crash under the dome. It was about 2.30. Mr. T---- said
at breakfast that he had heard it too.

_Wednesday 7th._--Mr. T---- writes under this date:--

"To bed about eleven. To sleep at once. Awakened at 2.30 by a
terrific crash, and the sound of voices. A little later I heard
light raps at the foot of my door, as if a dog had wagged his
tail a
