POSSIBLE CRYPTID. PERSISTENT RUMOURS OF AN INCURSION HAVE REACHED THE SOCIETY. AFTER TAKING THIS PHOTOGRAPH I HAVE DISPATCHED SAMPLES TO MY ASSISTANTS. AS I CUT THEM I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A FAINT CRY.

SHIP IS DELAYED: STATED REASON ENGINE TROUBLE. BUT I SPENT THE EVENING IN AN ESTABLISHMENT FREQUENTED BY CERTAIN OLD SAILORS AND THEY SAY THAT THIS IS NOT SO. WOULD NOT TELL ME TRUE REASON EVEN AFTER MORE THAN SEVERAL DRINKS, INSTEAD DARKLY MUTTERING IN THE LOCAL DIALECT.
