Hi all
I found this article in an Australian paper, the Port Phillip Herald of 11 November 1889
Sadly the scan of the original is so bad that it is impossible to decipher. The caption to the illustration reads: STUART CUMBERLAND'S DREAM PORTRAIT OF JACK THE RIPPER
Any attempts at decipherment welcome!

Chris Scott; The last portion of the article seems to be;
"The last thing I remember was looking at my wife,..... I then fell asleep. Eventually....every aisle,and I appeared to be walking along a ...street, the.. of which however I was unable to . distinctly...owing to the darkness..While proceeding on my way. I looked....glancing up,observed,a tall stranger rapidly approaching me. In his right hand the stranger held a large carpet bag, which apparently he had considerable difficulty in carrying. As he passed he turned his head toward me, and I immediately recognised him as the "...?.."of my two previous dreams. In vain I tried to..him;he ......I was totally unable to move. Just then I awoke, struggling violently and completely exhausted. The time by my watch was 11 minutes past 5.
Hope this helps a bit

Stuart C. Cumberland was a famous British mind-reader. The term "Cumberlandism" describes a phenomenon which mimics telepathy, allowing one to discover that which another knows by mere physical touching of the other. As it happens, I have an autograph of Mr. Cumberland which is for sale. |
