Legrasse
had
one
point
in
advance
of
Professor
Webb
,
for
several
among
his
mongrel
prisoners
had
repeated
to
him
what
older
celebrants
had
told
them
the
words
meant
.
This
text
,
as
given
,
ran
something
like
this
:
"
In
his
house
at
R'lyeh
dead
Cthulhu
waits
dreaming
.
"
And
now
,
in
response
to
a
general
and
urgent
demand
,
Inspector
Legrasse
related
as
fully
as
possible
his
experience
with
the
swamp
worshippers
;
telling
a
story
to
which
I
could
see
my
uncle
attached
profound
significance
.
It
savoured
of
the
wildest
dreams
of
mythmaker
and
theosophist
,
and
disclosed
an
astonishing
degree
of
cosmic
imagination
among
such
half-castes
and
pariahs
as
might
be
least
expected
to
possess
it
.
On
November
1st
,
1907
,
there
had
come
to
the
New
Orleans
police
a
frantic
summons
from
the
swamp
and
lagoon
country
to
the
south
.
The
squatters
there
,
mostly
primitive
but
good-natured
descendants
of
Lafitte
's
men
,
were
in
the
grip
of
stark
terror
from
an
unknown
thing
which
had
stolen
upon
them
in
the
night
.
It
was
voodoo
,
apparently
,
but
voodoo
of
a
more
terrible
sort
than
they
had
ever
known
;
and
some
of
their
women
and
children
had
disappeared
since
the
malevolent
tom-tom
had
begun
its
incessant
beating
far
within
the
black
haunted
woods
where
no
dweller
ventured
.
There
were
insane
shouts
and
harrowing
screams
,
soul-chilling
chants
and
dancing
devil-flames
;
and
,
the
frightened
messenger
added
,
the
people
could
stand
it
no
more
.
So
a
body
of
twenty
police
,
filling
two
carriages
and
an
automobile
,
had
set
out
in
the
late
afternoon
with
the
shivering
squatter
as
a
guide
.
At
the
end
of
the
passable
road
they
alighted
,
and
for
miles
splashed
on
in
silence
through
the
terrible
cypress
woods
where
day
never
came
.
Ugly
roots
and
malignant
hanging
nooses
of
Spanish
moss
beset
them
,
and
now
and
then
a
pile
of
dank
stones
or
fragment
of
a
rotting
wall
intensified
by
its
hint
of
morbid
habitation
a
depression
which
every
malformed
tree
and
every
fungous
islet
combined
to
create
.
At
length
the
squatter
settlement
,
a
miserable
huddle
of
huts
,
hove
in
sight
;
and
hysterical
dwellers
ran
out
to
cluster
around
the
group
of
bobbing
lanterns
.
The
muffled
beat
of
tomtoms
was
now
faintly
audible
far
,
far
ahead
;
and
a
curdling
shriek
came
at
infrequent
intervals
when
the
wind
shifted
.
A
reddish
glare
,
too
,
seemed
to
filter
through
pale
undergrowth
beyond
the
endless
avenues
of
forest
night
.
Reluctant
even
to
be
left
alone
again
,
each
one
of
the
cowed
squatters
refused
point-blank
to
advance
another
inch
toward
the
scene
of
unholy
worship
,
so
Inspector
Legrasse
and
his
nineteen
colleagues
plunged
on
unguided
into
black
arcades
of
horror
that
none
of
them
had
ever
trod
before
.
The
region
now
entered
by
the
police
was
one
of
traditionally
evil
repute
,
substantially
unknown
and
untraversed
by
white
men
.
There
were
legends
of
a
hidden
lake
unglimpsed
by
mortal
sight
,
in
which
dwelt
a
huge
,
formless
white
polypous
thing
with
luminous
eyes
;
and
squatters
whispered
that
batwinged
devils
flew
up
out
of
caverns
in
inner
earth
to
worship
it
at
midnight
.
They
said
it
had
been
there
before
d'Iberville
,
before
La
Salle
,
before
the
Indians
,
and
before
even
the
wholesome
beasts
and
birds
of
the
woods
.
It
was
nightmare
itself
,
and
to
see
it
was
to
die
.
But
it
made
men
dream
,
and
so
they
knew
enough
to
keep
away
.
The
present
voodoo
orgy
was
,
indeed
,
on
the
merest
fringe
of
this
abhorred
area
,
but
that
location
was
bad
enough
;
hence
perhaps
the
very
place
of
the
worship
had
terrified
the
squatters
more
than
the
shocking
sounds
and
incidents
.
Only
poetry
or
madness
could
do
justice
to
the
noises
heard
by
Legrasse
's
men
as
they
ploughed
on
through
the
black
morass
toward
the
red
glare
and
muffled
tom-toms
.
There
are
vocal
qualities
peculiar
to
men
,
and
vocal
qualities
peculiar
to
beasts
;
and
it
is
terrible
to
hear
the
one
when
the
source
should
yield
the
other
.
Animal
fury
and
orgiastic
license
here
whipped
themselves
to
daemoniac
heights
by
howls
and
squawking
ecstacies
that
tore
and
reverberated
through
those
nighted
woods
like
pestilential
tempests
from
the
gulfs
of
hell
.
Now
and
then
the
less
organized
ululation
would
cease
,
and
from
what
seemed
a
well-drilled
chorus
of
hoarse
voices
would
rise
in
sing-song
chant
that
hideous
phrase
or
ritual
:
"
Ph
