Aleister Crowley |
Location: London.
- Crowley,
with the help of
Elaine Simpson, successfully captures the Second Order Vault and expels
Maud Cracknell whom they find inside.
She immediately sends a telegram to E. A. Hunter to "Come at
once to Blythe Road, something awful has happened".
When E. A. Hunter
arrives he finds Crowley in possession of the room having
apparently changed all the locks. At that point Crowley
declares "We have taken possession of headquarters by the
authority of
MacGregor Mathers.
Florence Farr
later shows up with a constable who was powerless to eject
Crowley from the premises since the landlord was not
available to verify who had ownership.
