Patterson, second officer, P. & 0. s.s. Delta, respecting a remarkable display of phosphorescence in the Malacca Strait:—" "On March 14, 1907, at 2 a.m., the ship being in lat. 5° 43' N., long. 97° 55' E., an unusual phenomenon occurred. I noticed shafts of pale yellow light moving rapidly over the surface of the water. During the major part of the time the shafts seemed to move round a centre—like the spokes of a wheel—and appeared to be about 300 yards long; the appearance being very similar to that of the reflection of a powerful electric quick-flashing light (of the type of Ushant), thrown on the clouds on a dark clear night, but the motion of the flashes was faster, and the interval between them much less. At other times the flashes appeared to come in waves one behind the other." "The sea at the time was smooth, and the sky cloudy; the temperature of the air 83°. The water was slightly phosphorescent in a dull monotonous way, but no signs of brilliant patches. The phenomenon lasted about half an hour—during which the ship travelled 6 to 7 miles—and then suddenly stopped." "The weather did not appear electrical, and there was no lightning throughout the watch, nor were the compasses affected in any way."]

Mme. B was detained by ate, who sent a policeman to the address given. He returned with her son, a clerk aged 27. “What my mother has told you is true,” he said. “I do not pretend to explain it. I only know that as soon as my mother, my uncle and myself, enter the flat we are immediately impelled to walk about on our hands. M. Paul Reiss, aged 50, the third occupant, was sent for. “It is perfectly true,” he said—“every time I go in I am irresistibly impelled to walk around on my hands.” Then the Concierge of the house was brought to the Magistrate. “To tell the truth,” he said, “I thought that my tenants had gone mad but as soon as I entered the rooms occupied by them, I found myself on all fours, endeavoring to throw my feet in the air.” The Magistrate, concluding that it was an unknown malady, ordered that the apartment be disinfected.

On morning of Ap. 20, Marguerite Genest, a girl of 14, set out to pay a round of visits to her friends at Sartrouville, and she was seen returning home at a point not 200 yards from her home. But she had vanished. Ab. 5th of May a body found in the Seine several miles away. This body was buried, but a gendarme having read of the disap of Marg. G forwarded the clothes to her relatives. They were identified as the missing girl's, all being marked with her initials. Even a bandage wrapped around a cut finger was recognized. At the inquest the verdict as to body found had been of suicide, but M. Genest suspecting murder had the body exhumed. It was taken from its winding sheet and a doctor began the autopsy, when M. Gen. interrupted, crying that it was not the body of his daughter. The unknown corpse was of a woman over 20 years of age. As to the 2 mysteries or 3—“The police who have renewed their inquiries have not yet even formed a theory.” [D; 118.1 to 118.5. (London Daily Mail, May 10, 1907, p. 7 c. 6.)]

The bandage tied around the sore finger was in a pocket of the dress. Asked whether M. Genest could have been deceived. Said that his denial was borne out by the difference in ages. M. Genest suspected a woman who 18 months before had disappeared with his son André and had sent him menacing letters. / 11th—said that in 1900 when he became a widower he had lived with her and he attrib. to her the murder of his daughter and the enlevement of his son. It said that according to persons who had known this woman she was timid and incapable of such crimes. The boy  André was aged 15 when he disappeared. / In the 12th, said that the father appeared to have made a mistake in the clothes, because Marg. G. wore short clothes and those of the drowned woman were long. / That her “jupe” short. / 14th—Genest repeats that could be no doubt of the identification of the clothes. That the body was, ac to the surgeons who had again examined it, that of Marg. G., and if it appeared to be that of a young woman of 20, that was because Marg. had been accustomed to work that had developed her muscles and bones. Difference in color of hair not mentioned.

Mail 20-5-4 / That morning of 19th at 8:50 o'clock in Cunard Street, Camberwell, several persons saw flashes of light and heard a sharp report, and luminous objects seen to fall to the pavement. In an interview, Mr. Edwin Whittaker, of Gladstone House, Peckham-grove, says that he investigated and found 3 bright red stain upon the pavement several yards apart in the garden of no. 27 Cunard street. From the center of each spot he collected little bright yellow fragments of substance which he held in his hand. They did not seem to be hot, but he soon felt a sharp pain and found brown marks upon his palm. Said that ab 12 hours later the marks were still upon Mr W's palm and that he still felt the pain. “The bright red stain on the edge of the paving stone was also visible, but the chips of yellow material have crumbled into powder which under the microscope has a golden and copper color. [IX; 823.1 to 823.5. (London Daily Mail, September 20, 1907, p. 5 c. 4.) “Was It a Meteor?” Bolton Evening News, September 20, 1907, p. 3 c. 6. “Three bright star-like objects fell from heavens into a street in Camberwell, yesterday. and their impact the street was followed by three sharp detonations or pistol-like reports, and a tremendous flash of light. A Mr. Whitaker, Peckham-grove. who walking down street the time, told a London 'Star' reporter that certain of the paving stones had the appearance of being scorched, and, in each instance, there was an indentation in the stones, whilst in one case there were clear traces of the granite block having been chipped or broken. Mr. Whitaker picked up a number of small chrome-coloured lumps, which have the appearance of rusty iron, but are far from being so heavy as the same bulk of ironstone would be. After holding these particles for some time, he was amazed to find they were burning his hand, and for three hours afterwards suffered considerable pain, both from the front and back of his hand, which be likens to a knife being plunged into his hand.”]

At 5 p.m. at Thurles, in Tipperary, clear weather—suddenly a fall of black water from the sky. During this afternoon there was a fall of black rain at Roscrea. That night black rain over an area 110 miles wide. In some places the fall of soot was great. At Lynburg, near Mullinger, the deposit choked the half-inch pipe of a recently cleaned tank. In some places seems to have fallen no rain-soaked, but as “smuts”. Sheep were blackened—trees with black foliage. / Upon the afternoon of Oct 9, another black cloud came to Birr from E.S.E. At 3 p.m. darkness—lamps lighted—rain, but not black. But the cloud moved in a northwesterly direction and ab. 4 p.m. discharged black at Rathcabbin, ab 7 miles from Birr. This afternoon at Killart, 15 miles east of Birr, fell black rain with a disagreeable odor. Reported from several plaes in Westmeath. / It fell at Croagh, 12 miles from Limerick, at 2 p.m. So is Limerick between Birr and Wales? It fell 12 miles west of Westport. He ends, “Thus we have [here] evidence of a soot-laden cloud, originating probably in South Wales, crossing the channel and the whole of Ireland and disgorging its soot into the Atlantic." / What evidence, I don't know. / All soot in Wales not supply the phe of Oct 8th alone.
