where they came from, was a puzzle to us. The men had nothing with them; they were naked to the waist. They also produced cocks’ heads alive in a similar manner. They then asked for four bed sheets, which they fixed up in the open, so as to form a kind of cabinet. An old man entered this cabinet, which was taken down a minute afterwards. The old man was then perceived sitting cross-legged in the air, apparently on nothing.
