PREVIEW OF TRAGEDY

Perhaps you have experienced strange previews of future events. These premonition, or coincidences, as you prefer, are often startling and very realistic.

One such alarming glimpse into the future was experienced by the wife of a Swedish industrialist.

One night in 1939, Mrs. Axel Wenner-Gren started up the stairs on her way to bed. It was past midnight, and most of the lights had been extinguished. Only at the landing at the top of the stairs was it still bright. Suddenly a figure appeared before her on the top stair. It was a man, drenched to the skin, as though he had been swimming. In his arms he held the body of a child. Across the child's forehead was a deep cut, which was bleeding.

Mrs. Wenner-Gren screamed, and the figures vanished. Upset and shaken, she described the apparition to her husband. He decided that she was suffering from nerves and suggested that they go off on a trip on their yacht, the Southern Cross.

Shortly afterward, on the night of September 3, the yacht went to the aid of the Athenia, one of the first ships to be torpedoed in World War II. The very first person to come aboard the yacht was a drenched man, holding out before him the body of a dying child with a deep gash across the forehead. The figures were the ones Mrs. Wenner-Gren had seen at the head of her stairs, at home!
