A description of the experience
Fate Magazine March, 1960
The following incident occurred in 1929 when Mr. Beggs attempted to save a child from drowning.
Suddenly a mountainous wave broke over me. I went down, down, down, into the quiet depths of the dark water.
. . . It seemed then that a wonderful transition occurred. I was no longer in the water but rather I was high above the water and looking down upon it. The sky, that had been so grey and lowering, was now iridescent with indescribable beauty. There was music that I seemed to feel rather than hear. Waves of ecstatic and delicate colour vibrated around me and lulled me to a sense of peace beyond comprehension.
