(Brotzanin II had been one of the ships with which Seth had been connected in his Denmark life. The II, he told us now, meant that this was the second ship by that name. It had been a Danish frigate—a warship before coming into Seth’s hands as a merchantman. Seth owned it in 1631-32, and used it in the spice trade.

(Seth’s data on this test was this: “... we shall give the impression of a rock or stone that can be held in the hand, that has a connection with the water, that is speckled, and gray, with an indentation on it... the word nondescript as applying to the Gallagher object.”
(Without indulging in wishful thinking, Jane and I thought we saw some points of similarity in the above data and a miniature teapot, namely the fact that the test object could be held in the hand, had a connection with water, and an indentation. Since this was Jane’s first such attempt with the Gallaghers, I was curious as to what Seth would say. He now told me that the rock or stone impression was his error, and not Jane’s, or Ruburt’s.
(Seth said he was not careful enough in sorting out his own impressions. He picked up accurately enough that the test object could be held in the hand, had a connection with water and an indentation—the opening in the teapot—but erred in the rock or stone terminology, the color and the word nondescript. Bill indicated the color of the teapot in his sketch, saying the object is anything but nondescript. Seth said Ruburt transmitted accurately enough the data he gave. He also said that we would conduct a series of tests with the Gallaghers, involving objects, and that they would be successful.)
