Mr. W. Chesterman, professional dowser, was awaiting them. 
After an exhibition of his powers with the divining rod over

contact of his feet with the ground ceased. This he exhibited by 
walking on a non-conducting stratum of empty bottles, the hazel 
rod becoming instantaneously sensitive on his feet being again
