When he was at the court of Runjcct Singh, in I83T, a' fakir was thus burried fornix, weeks, a company of soldiers guard s ing tlie place of his interment' to ' prevent untimely resurrsction. ? At; the end of the six weeks- the seals were found' intact; and on remov-j ing he Td otithc boiwhichserved, as a coffin, the white linen bag, in; which the fakir had been placed, was found to be mildewed, r AVhcn the bag wa3 opened, the tempor arily dead man's arms and legs wrere found to be shrivelled and stitf; and his head reclined, corpse--like on his .shoulder. To allap- pearauce he was aa dead as an Egyptian niunim', no pulsation or other evidence of Hie beinj discov erable. 5re was tnen turned over to the manipulations of his sorvant. who made warm applications of various kind and legs gradually returned to tlieir i normal state. He then re moved the wax and cotton witli which the fakir's nostrils and ears had been closed, and alter half an hour t he devotee was able to speak; All of . which Sir Claude vouches for .-. - as an eye-witness, with an air of truthfulness rivaling that of About's clever story Of the man with the broken car.
