The "Bloofer Lady"

We have just received intelligence that another child,

missed last night, was only discovered late in the morning

under a furze bush at the Shooter's Hill side of Hampstead Heath,

which is perhaps, less frequented than the other parts.

It has the same tiny wound in the throat as has been noticed

in other cases. It was terribly weak, and looked quite emaciated.

It too, when partially restored, had the common story to tell

of being lured away by the "bloofer lady".
