An account

I wrote to my friend in Toronto, asking him if the ' Grand Duchess ' were performed on October 6th, and he replied in the affirmative ; but at the same time it was performed on the 5th, I am sure, as well as on the ■6th. The company was performing opera houffe during the entire week. I have never had any hallucinations before or since. We have procured from Toronto a copy of the Daily Globe, which shows that the Grand Duchess was performed on both nights. [Mr. Evans has had no recent communication with his companion of the evening, who was only an acquaintance ; and corroboration cannot be obtained. The uncertainty as to the day of the apparition seems irremovable. If it was the 5th, the coincidence may have been quite exact ; if it was the 6th, the 12 hours' limit must have been exceeded, unless the death took place in the hour or two preceding midnight.] Here we have to notice once more the luminous appearance of the phantasm (Chap. XII., § 7). The following narrative appeared in the Daily Telegraph, in October, 1881. Unfortunately we have been unable to obtain corroboration or further details, as we have failed to discover the writer's present address. We learn from the War Office that he resigned his militia commission in August, 1880.
