Around the sun, almost right overhead at noon a magnificent halo of 22 degrees appeared in a fine cirrus cloud. Hundreds of people stopped in the street and gazed upward in wonderment. Some were seen mounting the roofs of city buildings to get an unobstructed view." "Beginning with the red of the spectrum inside the ring, the colors shaded distinctly through orange, yellow and green to the blue of the sky." "Many people rang up the Observatory and the Meteorological Bureau, asking what was wrong with the sun." "Dr Baldwin, Government Astronomer, stated that the halo was the finest of its kind he had ever seen." "'Such clouds,' he said, 'are generally formed of ice particles, and the sun's light, refracted at certain angles by the tiny ice-needles, appears to the eye as gathered into a ring surrounding the sun at a definite distance." "'On this occasion the cloud was so placed with regard to the sun and the earth that the spectrum colors were clearly visible. This is uncommon, and gave evidence of extraordinary uniformity in all the circumstances of the phenomenon—a happy combination which could only occur once in a long period."]

"'I was convinced,' he declared, 'that great library lay on the western side of certain mound, and I dug there vainly for weeks. After that work was temporarily abandoned. The conviction that the library was there disturbed my mind, and even haunted my sleep. In despair, and grasping a chance of divination, I went alone to the top of the mound and chose a brick of the age of Nebuchadnezzar which lay at my feet, and marked on it an arrow. Then after blindfolding myself and turning round many times to lose my bearings, I threw backwards over my head. The next morning digging was recommenced at the place indicated by the arrow, and within two hours a large nest of valuable literary tablets was found.'" "Professor Langdon also stated that twenty library rooms, which obviously formed a part of Kish College four thousand years ago, had now been excavated, and in his opinion there were no limits to the possibilities of further great discoveries, next year."]

From traces of blood found on the machine it appeared that the pilot, Flight-Lieut. Day, had sustained a slight injury.” “In spite of exhaustive search for four days no trace of the missing officers could be found, and it was not until last month that an airman flying over the desert saw something white gleaming in the sun. It was the skeleton of a man uncovered by the moving sands. A week later another skeleton was found six miles away. They were identified by their teeth.” “The Air Ministry considers it probable that on account of Lieut. Day's injury the officers were prompted to seek assistance at Jalibah Railway Station, about twelve miles north of the spot where the aeroplane landed, but lost their way and died from heat exhaustion.”]

The bombardments occurred with “no respite” each evening from August 25 for three weeks to September. “It appears to be established that the stones are dropped from immediately overhead, not shot laterally, and with such accuracy of aim (if one may suppose that the house be an actual target and not a fortuitous victim) that, of the many thousands, some two or three only have missed the roof and fallen into either the back-yard or the street.” Nagykörös is about 75 kilometers southeast of Budapest; and, the article was contributed by Arthur L. Delisle, an English journalist living in Budapest.]
