...Loewenstein habitually described as his "flying offices." In the crew's compartment were Pilot Ronald Drew and Mechanic Robert F. Little. In the "office" flew British Stenographer Miss Edith Clarke and French Stenographer Mlle. Paule Bidalon. Also on board were Valet Frederick Baxter Backster and Secretary J. O. Hodgson. Three mighty engines thrashed the air around the plane into a 300 mile an hour gale, thrusting the Fokker across the English Channel at 100 miles per hour...

Vivian himself whimpered, "No matter where I go or what I do, there is always the reference to the fact that I was the germ...
...American Society for Psychical Research, founded by Sir William Barrett and Dr. Hodgson and maintained for many years with distinguished ability by Dr. James Hyslop, appears to have fallen on evil days and no longer to be actuated by pure and disinterested motives. For this reason, Dr. McDougall explained, it has been thought necessary in the interests of science to found another society which shall be committed to no dogma or hypothesis and whose business shall be to investigate and record facts by scientific methods and with the help of special sciences and of photography...
