Bio-Data

Denny was born in on May 16, 1877, and his health seems to have been frail from the beginning. H. P. Blavatsky and even the Mahatmas expected Denny to be a strong influence for good, but the expectation was never fulfilled. As his father states in his Autobiography, Denny failed, generally with discredit, in the attempts to make a living.

While young he tried to get a job but was usually dismissed after a short trial. He tried to enter the militia but fail to pass the examination. Then, when the South Africa War broke he went to Cape Town and worked with the force guarding prisoners. He fell in love and married a local lady, without letting his parents know of the fact at the time.

During all this time Denny depended financially on his parents, and when Bottomley swindled A. P. Sinnett out of his entire savings, the difficulty of the situation became acute.

Denny lost his commission as result of bad reports by his superiors, and he returned to England with his wife. (GO ON FROM PAGE 50)
