... | {{Style S-Small capitals|Sir}},—That Madame Blavatskyhas not exaggerated in her description of the fishing alligator pools in India I can, from personal observation, testify. I was a resident of that country for several years, and employed in Government service. During my periodical furloughs I travelled over a wide extent of territory, and saw such pools; and on one occasion, whilst sketching on the shore, I had a very narrow escape of being seized by one of the largest crocodiles I ever saw. I had not the pleasure of knowing Madame Blavatsky whilst in India, but, having met her here, I can safely assert that her conversation evinces an intimate knowledge of that country, its peoples and religions. | ||
