On April 2nd, a significant storm pushed the Vigilant further south than its usual course, causing it to sight the derelict Alert.
The Vigilant left Valparaiso, Chile, on March 25th, and arrived in Darling Harbour, Australia, six days after sighting the Alert near Dunedin, New Zealand. Thurston wishes he could undo ever seeing the article, and quotes its contents directly.
The headline declares that a freighter named Vigilant has towed in a disabled but armed yacht named Alert, with one man found dead and one survivor aboard. A picture in the article, from the Sydney Bulletin dated April 18th, 1925, contains the same "hideous stone image" as found in Angell's papers. Several years after discovering the contents of Angell's estate and contemplating the existence of the "Cthulu cult," Thurston encounters a peculiar news item while visiting a friend, a curator of a local museum in Paterson, New Jersey.
