The Book of the Damned
·

Six
other
witnesses
sent
letters
to
this
number
of
the
News.
One
mentioned,
but
not
published,
is
a
notion
of
a
strayed
swan.
Always
this
homogeneous-seeing--"a"
badger--"a"
swan--"a"
track.
I
should
have
listed
the
other
towns
as
well
as
those
mentioned
in
the
Times.
A
letter
from
Mr.
Musgrave
is
published.
He,
too,
sends
a
sketch
of
the
prints.
It,
too,
shows
a
single
line.
There
are
four
prints,
of
which
the
third
is
a
little
out
of
line.
There
is
no
sign
of
a
claw-mark.
The
prints
look
like
prints
of
longish
hoofs
of
a
very
young
colt,
but
they
are
not
so
definitely
outlined
as
in
the
sketch
of
February
24th,
as
if
drawn
after
disturbance
by
wind,
or
after
thawing
had
set
in.
Measurements
at
places
a
mile
and
a
half
apart,
gave
the
same
inter-spacing--"exactly
eight
inches
and
a
half
apart."
We
now
have
a
little
study
in
the
psychology
and
genesis
of
an
attempted
correlation.
Mr.
Musgrave
says:
"I
found
a
very
apt
opportunity
to
mention
the
name
'kangaroo'
in
allusion
to
the
report
then
current."
He
says
that
he
had
no
faith
in
the
kangaroo-story
himself,
but
was
glad
"that
a
kangaroo
was
in
the
wind,"
because
it
opposed
"a
dangerous,
degrading,
and
false
impression
that
it
was
the
devil."
"Mine
was
a
word
in
season
and
did
good."
Whether
it's
Jesuitical
or
not,
and
no
matter
what
it
is
or
isn't,
that
is
our
own
acceptance:
that,
though
we've
often
been
carried
away
from
this
attitude
controversially,
that
is
our
acceptance
as
to
every
correlate
of
the
past
that
has
been
considered
in
this
book--relatively
to
the
Dominant
of
its
era.
