Suddenly some voice is heard above Skavinski, "Here, old man! Get up! What's the matter?" The old man opens his eyes, and looks with wonder at the person standing before him. The remnants of the dream-visions struggle in his head with reality. At last the visions pale and vanish. Before him stands Johnson, the harbor guide. "What's this?" asked Johnson; "are you sick?"

I have been beside him when he has been in trance and I have felt the room throb with heightened vibration." One of the "dream-visions" which William Sharp experienced shortly before his last illness, is headed "Elemental Symbolism," and was recorded by him in these beautiful words: "I saw Self, or Life, symbolized all about me as a limitless, fathomless and lonely sea.
For a full half hour those pale lambent figures were moving ghost-like about the church, while the white-veiled throng before the altar gradually diminished until at last it disappeared: fading from sight a little at a time, softly as dream-visions of things beautiful melt away.
