Another document from Scribd.com that is
random and unrelated content:
I will tell its gist enough to show why the sound of the water against the
vessel's sides became so unendurable to me that I stopped my ears with
cotton.
Johansen, thank God, did not know quite all, even though he saw the city
and the Thing, but I shall never sleep calmly again when I think of the
horrors that lurk ceaselessly behind life in time and in space, and of those
unhallowed blasphemies from elder stars which dream beneath the sea,
known and favored by a nightmare cult ready and eager to loose them on
the world whenever another earthquake shall heave their monstrous
stone city again to the sun and air.

Johansen's voyage had begun just as he told it to the vice-admiralty. The


Emma, in ballast, had cleared Auckland on February 20th, and had felt
the full force of that earthquake-born tempest which must have heaved
up from the sea-bottom the horrors that filled men's dreams. Once more
under control, the ship was making good progress when held up by the
Alert on March 22nd, and I could feel the mate's regret as he wrote of her
bombardment and sinking. Of the swarthy cult-fiends on the Alert he
speaks with significant horror. There was some peculiarly abominable
quality about them which made their destruction seem almost a duty, and
Johansen shows ingenuous wonder at the charge of ruthlessness brought
against his party during the proceedings of the court of inquiry. Then,
driven ahead by curiosity in their captured yacht under Johansen's
command, the men sight a great stone pillar sticking out of the sea, and
in S. Latitude 47° 9', W. Longitude 126° 43' come upon a coastline of
mingled mud, ooze, and weedy Cyclopean masonry which can be
nothing less than the tangible substance of earth's supreme terror—the
nightmare corpse-city of R'lyeh, that was built in measureless eons
behind history by the vast, loathsome shapes that seeped down from the
dark stars. There lay great Cthulhu and his hordes, hidden in green slimy
vaults and sending out at last, after cycles incalculable, the thoughts that
spread fear to the dreams of the sensitive and called imperiously to the
faithful to come on a pilgrimage of liberation and restoration. All this
Johansen did not suspect, but God knows he soon saw enough!
I suppose that only a single mountain-top, the hideous monolith-crowned
citadel whereon great Cthulhu was buried, actually emerged from the
waters. When I think of the extent of all that may be brooding down
there I almost wish to kill myself forthwith. Johansen and his men were
awed by the cosmic majesty of this dripping Babylon of elder demons,
and must have guessed without guidance that it was nothing of this or of
any sane planet. Awe at the unbelievable size of the greenish stone
blocks, at the dizzying height of the great carven monolith, and at the
stupefying identity of the colossal statues and bas-reliefs with the queer
image found in the shrine on the Alert, is poignantly visible in every line
of the mate's frightened description.
Without knowing what futurism is like, Johansen achieved something
very close to it when he spoke of the city; for instead of describing any
definite structure or building, he dwells only on the broad impressions of
vast angles and stone surfaces—surfaces too great to belong to anything
right or proper for this earth, and impious with horrible images and
hieroglyphs. I mention his talk about angles because it suggests
something Wilcox had told me of his awful dreams. He had said that the
geometry of the dream-place he saw was abnormal, non-Euclidean, and
loathsomely redolent of spheres and dimensions apart from ours. Now an
unlettered seaman felt the same thing whilst gazing at the terrible reality.
Johansen and his men landed at a sloping mud-bank on this monstrous
Acropolis, and clambered slipperily up over titan oozy blocks which
could have been no mortal staircase. The very sun of heaven seemed
distorted when viewed through the polarizing miasma welling out from
this sea-soaked perversion, and twisted menace and suspense lurked
leeringly in those crazily elusive angles of carven rock where a second
glance showed concavity after the first showed convexity.
Something very like fright had come over all the explorers before
anything more definite than rock and ooze and weed was seen. Each
would have fled had he not feared the scorn of the others, and it was only
half-heartedly that they searched—vainly, as it proved—for some
portable souvenir to bear away.
It was Rodriguez the Portuguese who climbed up the foot of the
monolith and shouted of what he had found. The rest followed him, and
looked curiously at the immense carved door with the now familiar
squid-dragon bas-relief. It was, Johansen said, like a great barn-door; and
they all felt that it was a door because of the ornate lintel, threshold, and
jambs around it, though they could not decide whether it lay flat like a
trap-door or slantwise like an outside cellar-door. As Wilcox would have
said, the geometry of the place was all wrong. One could not be sure that
the sea and the ground were horizontal, hence the relative position of
everything else seemed fantasmally variable.
Briden pushed at the stone in several places without result. Then
Donovan felt over it delicately around the edge, pressing each point
separately as he went. He climbed interminably along the grotesque
stone molding—that is, one would call it climbing if the thing was not
after all horizontal—and the men wondered how any door in the universe
could be so vast. Then, very softly and slowly, the acre-great panel began
to give inward at the top; and they saw that it was balanced.
Donovan slid or somehow propelled himself down or along the jamb and
rejoined his fellows, and everyone watched the queer recession of the
monstrously carven portal. In this fantasy of prismatic distortion it
moved anomalously in a diagonal way, so that all the rules of matter and
perspective seemed upset.
The aperture was black with a darkness almost material. That
tenebrousness was indeed a positive quality; for it obscured such parts of
the inner walls as ought to have been revealed, and actually burst forth
like smoke from its eon-long imprisonment, visibly darkening the sun as
it slunk away into the shrunken and gibbous sky on flapping
membranous wings. The odor arising from the newly opened depths was
intolerable, and at length the quick-eared Hawkins thought he heard a
nasty, slopping sound down there. Everyone listened, and everyone was
listening still when It lumbered slobberingly into sight and gropingly
squeezed Its gelatinous green immensity through the black doorway into
the tainted outside air of that poison city of madness.
Poor Johansen's handwriting almost gave out when he wrote of this. Of
the six men who never reached the ship, he thinks two perished of pure
fright in that accursed instant. The Thing can not be described—there is
no language for such abysms of shrieking and immemorial lunacy, such
eldritch contradictions of all matter, force, and cosmic order. A mountain
walked or stumbled. God! What wonder that across the earth a great
architect went mad, and poor Wilcox raved with fever in that telepathic
instant? The Thing of the idols, the green, sticky spawn of the stars, had
awaked to claim his own. The stars were right again, and what an age-
old cult had failed to do by design, a band of innocent sailors had done
by accident. After vigintillions of years great Cthulhu was loose again,
and ravening for delight.
Three men were swept up by the flabby claws before anybody turned.
God rest them, if there be any rest in the universe. They were Donovan,
Guerrera and Angstrom. Parker slipped as the other three were plunging
frenziedly over endless vistas of green-crusted rock to the boat, and
Johansen swears he was swallowed up by an angle of masonry which
shouldn't have been there; an angle which was acute, but behaved as if it
were obtuse. So only Briden and Johansen reached the boat, and pulled
desperately for the Alert as the mountainous monstrosity flopped down
the slimy stones and hesitated floundering at the edge of the water.
Steam had not been suffered to go down entirely, despite the departure of
all hands for the shore; and it was the work of only a few moments of
feverish rushing up and down between wheels and engines to get the
Alert under way. Slowly, amidst the distorted horrors of that
indescribable scene, she began to churn the lethal waters; whilst on the
masonry of that charnel shore that was not of earth the titan Thing from
the stars slavered and gibbered like Polypheme cursing the fleeing ship
of Odysseus. Then, bolder than the storied Cyclops, great Cthulhu slid
greasily into the water and began to pursue with vast wave-raising
strokes of cosmic potency. Briden looked back and went mad, laughing
shrilly as he kept on laughing at intervals till death found him one night
in the cabin whilst Johansen was wandering deliriously.
But Johansen had not given out yet. Knowing that the Thing could surely
overtake the Alert until steam was fully up, he resolved on a desperate
chance; and, setting the engine for full speed, ran lightning-like on deck
and reversed the wheel. There was a mighty eddying and foaming in the
noisome brine, and as the steam mounted higher and higher the brave
Norwegian drove his vessel head on against the pursuing jelly which
rose above the unclean froth like the stern of a demon galleon. The awful
squid-head with writhing feelers came nearly up to the bowsprit of the
sturdy yacht, but Johansen drove on relentlessly.
There was a bursting as of an exploding bladder, a slushy nastiness as of
a cloven sunfish, a stench as of a thousand opened graves, and a sound
that the chronicler would not put on paper. For an instant the ship was
befouled by an acrid and blinding green cloud, and then there was only a
venomous seething astern; where—God in heaven!—the scattered
plasticity of that nameless sky-spawn was nebulously recombining in its
hateful original form, whilst its distance widened every second as the
Alert gained impetus from its mounting steam.
That was all. After that Johansen only brooded over the idol in the cabin
and attended to a few matters of food for himself and the laughing
maniac by his side. He did not try to navigate after the first bold flight,
for the reaction had taken something out of his soul. Then came the
storm of April 2nd, and a gathering of the clouds about his
consciousness. There is a sense of spectral whirling through liquid gulfs
of infinity, of dizzying rides through reeling universes on a comet's tail,
and of hysterical plunges from the pit to the moon and from the moon
back again to the pit, all livened by a cachinnating chorus of the
distorted, hilarious elder gods and the green, bat-winged mocking imps
of Tartarus.
Out of that dream came rescue—the Vigilant, the vice-admiralty court,
the streets of Dunedin, and the long voyage back home to the old house
by the Egeberg. He could not tell—they would think him mad. He would
write of what he knew before death came, but his wife must not guess.
Death would be a boon if only it could blot out the memories.
That was the document I read, and now I have placed it in the tin box
beside the bas-relief and the papers of Professor Angell. With it shall go
this record of mine—this test of my own sanity, wherein is pieced
together that which I hope may never be pieced together again. I have
looked upon all that the universe has to hold of horror, and even the skies
of spring and the flowers of summer must ever afterward be poison to
me. But I do not think my life will be long. As my uncle went, as poor
Johansen went, so I shall go. I know too much, and the cult still lives.
Cthulhu still lives, too, I suppose, again in that chasm of stone which has
shielded him since the sun was young. His accursed city is sunken once
more, for the Vigilant sailed over the spot after the April storm; but his
ministers on earth still bellow and prance and slay around idol-capped
monoliths in lonely places. He must have been trapped by the sinking
whilst within his black abyss, or else the world would by now be
screaming with fright and frenzy. Who knows the end? What has risen
may sink, and what has sunk may rise. Loathsomeness waits and dreams
in the deep, and decay spreads over the tottering cities of men. A time
will come—but I must not and can not think! Let me pray that, if I do not
survive this manuscript, my executors may put caution before audacity
and see that it meets no other eye.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project


Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without


widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating


charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States.
Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable
effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these
requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not
received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or
determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit
www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we


have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any
statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside
the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project


Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™


concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with
anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project
Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed


editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the
U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility:
www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including


how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe
to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
