[BOWMAN] DISCREPANCY IN TRUSTWORTHY RECORDS 141 
CASE 8. 
The Discrepancy.—B states at successive intervals (1) that he has 
read all the Bible; (2) that he has not read all the Bible; (8) that he 
has read all the Bible; (4) that he has not read all the Bible; and (5) 
that he has read all the Bible. 
Harmonization.—Impossible. 
The Circumstances.—(1) At a religious service the minister, C, 
invited those who had read all the Bible to indicate the fact by standing 
up. B rose with some twenty others. C remarked that it was a very 
good showing and no doubt many more would have risen but for the 
fact that they had not read the eight genealogical chapters at the 
opening of the First Book of Chronicles. B, in point of fact, had 
skimmed these chapters somewhat lightly, yet with enough attention 
to note and read carefully all verses and sections (e. g., 1:12, 19, 43-51) 
which contained anything additional to bare genealogy. In response 
to C’s invitation B had risen in good faith, holding that he had read this 
part as well as the rest of the Bible; but he was led to doubt, by C’s 
subsequent remark, whether C would agree with him in his opinion. 
Accordingly, (2) when C at another service gave a similar invitation 
to the congregation, B kept his seat. Subsequently (3) at a service in 
another church and in response to an invitation given by another 
minister than C, Brose. Again (4) at a similar public test by C, B kept 
his seat; and finally (5) at a similar public test by another minister 
than C, B rose. 
CASE 9. 
The Discrepancy.—(1) B states that the British regiment of Royal 
Welsh Fusiliers went to the Battle of Waterloo wearing the queue. 
(2) C states that the same regiment went to this battle not wearing the 
queue. 
Harmonization.—Impossible. 
The Circumstances.—The regiment, before starting for the Continent 
to share in the campaign which terminated at Waterloo, was reviewed 
at Windsor, the soldiers still wearing their queues. At Dover, just 
before embarkation, the queues were removed. B saw the Fusiliers 
on their way from Windsor to Dover; C, a midshipman on the transport 
the chivalrousness of the Irish nature prevented to a singular degree the molest- 
ation of women living without protection in hostile districts; and in Ireland, of all 
countries, women at such times would be in less danger if appearing in their own 
character than if masquerading as men.
