Thoughts through Space – Sir Hubert Wilkins and Harold M Sherman
Sherman's report of the 22nd includes:
"You following the Mackenzie River in flight-weather, fog, snow-further delay-down at town with old stone fort- Aklavik goal. Radio not perfectly satisfactory as yet. (This was so. We were having trouble with our radio.) Another plane following- it takes additional supplies.
Now you seem to be thinking consciously and strongly of me for the moment-10 minutes to 12 pm. Safety factor-no unnecessary risks-no hazards undertaken only on actual flights in search of the Russian fliers-feel some impending action after delay or stopover on flight north of Edmonton. French-Canadian man of French descent talks to you quite excitedly-you have meal with this man – gives you some delicacies to eat. Color white flashes, followed by blue-something having blue color associated with you this day. "
At Fort Resolution I was met by the doctor-a Frenchman who persuaded me to stay at his house. He had studied in Paris, and was most excited to talk with someone who had been in Paris recently, as I had been. His wife prepared a delicious meal, and we celebrated with wine and the usual French delicacies. I was wearing on that flight a new bright blue parka, and was pleased with it - although I did not give it intentionally "strong" thought.
Sherman had no means of knowing of the delay or stop-over we had made at Fort Resolution. It was intended and assumed that we would make a non-stop flight to Aklavik. He had made many "hits" and the accuracy of his "hits" was arresting. His note that night of my "strong" thoughts directed toward him at 10 minutes to 12 pm, might have been the direct reaction to my thoughts, for it was at about that time that the police officer had left my room. This indicates that "cooperation" was sometimes effective, although Sherman had picked up impressions of incidents of which I had not thought during our "appointment," but which I had broadcast in the interval between appointments.
