But the greatest miracle of all was, that the captain’s nature became entirely changed, and to-day a better or a gentler man does not sail out of New York harbor! Concentrate your attention on a single point in the subject’s head; keep it there. Do not let your thoughts wander. Gaze steadily at it, and it alone, gently waving your head and hands over it from right to left, left to right.
