As the captain attempts to finish his business at Martins Beach, a group of swimmers are attacked. The captain and others attempt to rescue the victims but it is too late.

A man touring a Mammoth Cave separates from his guide and becomes lost. His torch expires and he is giving up hope of finding a way out in the pitch dark, when he hears strange non-human footsteps approaching him. Thinking it to be a lost mountain lion or other such beast, he picks up a stone and throws it toward the source of the sound. The beast is hit and crumples to the floor. The guide finds the protagonist, and together they examine the fallen creature with the guides torchlight. The creature mutters in its last breaths and they see its face, discovering that it is in fact a pale, deformed human, who had also become lost in the cave many years ago.

En los cuentos de Lovecraft que se incluyen en este volumen pueden advertirse las huellas de dos generadores claves de su obra: la vida y el sueño.En la primera, ocurrieron hechos que quebraron la continuidad de su biografia con grietas notorias: si bien la muerte de su padre se produjo cuando Howard era apenas un niño, el fallecimiento del abuelo paterno lo despojo no solo de su compañia, sino tambien de un ambito arquitectonico y mental (la casa, la biblioteca, la conversacion), ausencia que siempre considero como una perdida del paraiso. Las visiones oniricas y cosmicas y las alucinaciones son, por otra parte, temas que se repetiran obsesivamente en sus narraciones.
