248 BOOK OF THE DAMNED 



My own acceptance is that either a world or a vast super-con- 

 struction or a world, if red substances and fishes fell from it- 

 hovered over India in the summer of 1860. Something then fell 

 from somewhere, July 17, 1860, at Dhurmsalla. Whatever "it" was, 

 "it" is so persistently alluded to as "a meteorite" that I look back 

 and see that I adopted this convention myself. But in the London 

 Times, Dec. 26, 1860, Syed Abdoolah, Professor of Hindustani, 

 University College, London, writes that he had sent to a friend in 

 Dhurmsalla, for an account of the stones that had fallen at that 

 place. The answer: 



". . . divers forms and sizes, many of which bore great resem- 

 blance to ordinary cannon balls just discharged from engines of 

 war." 



It's an addition to our data of spherical objects that have 

 arrived upon this earth. Note that they are spherical stone objects. 



And, in the evening of this same day that something took a 

 shot at Dhurmsalla or sent objects upon which there may be 

 decipherable markings lights were seen in the air 



I think, myself, of a number of things, beings, whatever they 

 were, trying to get down, but resisted, like balloonists, at a certain 

 altitude, trying to get farther up, but resisted. 



Not in the least except to good positivists, or the homogeneous- 

 minded, does this- speculation interfere with the concept of some 

 other world that is in successful communication with certain esoteric 

 ones upon this earth, by a code of symbols that print in rock, like 

 symbols of telephotographers in selenium. 



I think that sometimes, in favorable circumstances, emissaries 

 have come to this earth secret meetings 



Of course it sounds 



But: 



Secret meetings emissaries esoteric ones in Europe, before the 

 war broke out 



And those who suggested that such phenomena could be. 



However, as to most of our data, I think of super-things that 

 have passed close to this earth with no more interest in this earth 

 than have passengers upon a steamship in the bottom of the sea 

 or passengers may have a keen interest, but circumstances of sched- 

 ules and commercial requirements forbid investigation of the bottom 

 of the sea. 



Then, on the other hand, we may have data of super-scientific 

 attempts to investigate phenomena of this earth from above
