Although she had never been at [[Simla, India\|Simla]] before, she directed us where to go, describing a certain small mill which the Sinnetts, Major Henderson, and even the ''jampanis'' (''palki-wallahs'') affirmed, did not exist. She also mentioned a small Tibetan temple as being near it. We ''reached the spot'' she had described and ''found the mill'' — at about 10 A. M.; and sat in the shade and had the servants spread a collation. Mr. Mahmood had joined our party after the baskets were packed and so when we wanted to have tea we found we were one cup and saucer short. Somebody asked Madame Blavatsky to produce one by magic. She consented; and, looking about the ground here and there, finally called Major Henderson to bring a knife and dig in a spot she pointed to. He found the ground hard and full of small roots of a young cedar tree near by. These he cut through and pulled up to a depth of say 6 inches, when something white was seen in the black soil; it was dug out, and ''lo! a cup decorated in green and gold, exactly matching the others Mrs. Sinnett’s servants had brought.'' Madame told the Major to dig more; he did so, and at last found a saucer to match the cup!
