All
through
late
August
he
fortified
himself
with
the
mass
lore
of
cryptography
;
drawing
upon
the
fullest
resources
of
his
own
library
,
and
wading
night
after
night
amidst
the
arcana
of
Trithemius
'
Poligraphia
,
Giambattista
Porta
's
De
Furtivis
Literarum
Notis
,
De
Vigenere
's
Traite
des
Chiffres
,
Falconer
's
Cryptomenysis
Patefacta
,
Davys
'
and
Thicknesse
's
eighteenth-century
treatises
,
and
such
fairly
modern
authorities
as
Blair
,
van
Marten
and
Kluber
's
script
itself
,
and
in
time
became
convinced
that
he
had
to
deal
with
one
of
those
subtlest
and
most
ingenious
of
cryptograms
,
in
which
many
separate
lists
of
corresponding
letters
are
arranged
like
the
multiplication
table
,
and
the
message
built
up
with
arbitrary
key-words
known
only
to
the
initiated
.
The
older
authorities
seemed
rather
more
helpful
than
the
newer
ones
,
and
Armitage
concluded
that
the
code
of
the
manuscript
was
one
of
great
antiquity
,
no
doubt
handed
down
through
a
long
line
of
mystical
experimenters
.
Several
times
he
seemed
near
daylight
,
only
to
be
set
back
by
some
unforeseen
obstacle
.
Then
,
as
September
approached
,
the
clouds
began
to
clear
.
Certain
letters
,
as
used
in
certain
parts
of
the
manuscript
,
emerged
definitely
and
unmistakably
;
and
it
became
obvious
that
the
text
was
indeed
in
English
.
On
the
evening
of
September
second
the
last
major
barrier
gave
way
,
and
Dr
Armitage
read
for
the
first
time
a
continuous
passage
of
Wilbur
Whateley
's
annals
.
It
was
in
truth
a
diary
,
as
all
had
thought
;
and
it
was
couched
in
a
style
clearly
showing
the
mixed
occult
erudition
and
general
illiteracy
of
the
strange
being
who
wrote
it
.
Almost
the
first
long
passage
that
Armitage
deciphered
,
an
entry
dated
November
26
,
1916
,
proved
highly
startling
and
disquieting
.
It
was
written
,
he
remembered
,
by
a
child
of
three
and
a
half
who
looked
like
a
lad
of
twelve
or
thirteen
.
Today
learned
the
Aklo
for
the
Sabaoth
(
it
ran
)
,
which
did
not
like
,
it
being
answerable
from
the
hill
and
not
from
the
air
.
That
upstairs
more
ahead
of
me
than
I
had
thought
it
would
be
,
and
is
not
like
to
have
much
earth
brain
.
Shot
Elam
Hutchins
's
collie
Jack
when
he
went
to
bite
me
,
and
Elam
says
he
would
kill
me
if
he
dast
.
I
guess
he
wo
n't
.
Grandfather
kept
me
saying
the
Dho
formula
last
night
,
and
I
think
I
saw
the
inner
city
at
the
2
magnetic
poles
.
I
shall
go
to
those
poles
when
the
earth
is
cleared
off
,
if
I
ca
n't
break
through
with
the
Dho
--
Hna
formula
when
I
commit
it
.
They
from
the
air
told
me
at
Sabbat
that
it
will
be
years
before
I
can
clear
off
the
earth
,
and
I
guess
grandfather
will
be
dead
then
,
so
I
shall
have
to
learn
all
the
angles
of
the
planes
and
all
the
formulas
between
the
Yr
and
the
Nhhngr
.
They
from
outside
will
help
,
but
they
can
not
take
body
without
human
blood
.
That
upstairs
looks
it
will
have
the
right
cast
.
I
can
see
it
a
little
when
I
make
the
Voorish
sign
or
blow
the
powder
of
Ibn
Ghazi
at
it
,
and
it
is
near
like
them
at
May
Eve
on
the
Hill
.
The
other
face
may
wear
off
some
.
I
wonder
how
I
shall
look
when
the
earth
is
cleared
and
there
are
no
earth
beings
on
it
.
He
that
came
with
the
Aklo
Sabaoth
said
I
may
be
transfigured
there
being
much
of
outside
to
work
on
.
Morning
found
Dr
Armitage
in
a
cold
sweat
of
terror
and
a
frenzy
of
wakeful
concentration
.
He
had
not
left
the
manuscript
all
night
,
but
sat
at
his
table
under
the
electric
light
turning
page
after
page
with
shaking
hands
as
fast
as
he
could
decipher
the
cryptic
text
.
He
had
nervously
telephoned
his
wife
he
would
not
be
home
,
and
when
she
brought
him
a
breakfast
from
the
house
he
could
scarcely
dispose
of
a
mouthful
.
All
that
day
he
read
on
,
now
and
then
halted
maddeningly
as
a
reapplication
of
the
complex
key
became
necessary
.
Lunch
and
dinner
were
brought
him
,
but
he
ate
only
the
smallest
fraction
of
either
.
Toward
the
middle
of
the
next
night
he
drowsed
off
in
his
chair
,
but
soon
woke
out
of
a
tangle
of
nightmares
almost
as
hideous
as
the
truths
and
menaces
to
man
's
existence
that
he
had
uncovered
.
On
the
morning
of
September
fourth
Professor
Rice
and
Dr
Morgan
insisted
on
seeing
him
for
a
while
,
and
departed
trembling
and
ashen-grey
.
That
evening
he
went
to
bed
,
but
slept
only
fitfully
.
Wednesday
--
the
next
day
--
he
was
back
at
the
manuscript
,
and
began
to
take
copious
notes
both
from
the
current
sections
and
from
those
he
had
already
deciphered
.
In
the
small
hours
of
that
night
he
slept
a
little
in
a
easy
chair
in
his
office
,
but
was
at
the
manuscript
again
before
dawn
.
Some
time
before
noon
his
physician
,
Dr
Hartwell
,
called
to
see
him
and
insisted
that
he
cease
work
.
He
refused
;
intimating
that
it
was
of
the
most
vital
importance
for
him
to
complete
the
reading
of
the
diary
and
promising
an
explanation
in
due
course
of
time
.
That
evening
,
just
as
twilight
fell
,
he
finished
his
terrible
perusal
and
sank
back
exhausted
.
His
wife
,
bringing
his
dinner
,
found
him
in
a
half-comatose
state
;
but
he
was
conscious
enough
to
warn
her
off
with
a
sharp
cry
when
he
saw
her
eyes
wander
toward
the
notes
he
had
taken
.
Weakly
rising
,
he
gathered
up
the
scribbled
papers
and
sealed
them
all
in
a
great
envelope
,
which
he
immediately
placed
in
his
inside
coat
pocket
.
He
had
sufficient
strength
to
get
home
,
but
was
so
clearly
in
need
of
medical
aid
that
Dr
Hartwell
was
summoned
at
once
.
As
the
doctor
put
him
to
bed
he
could
only
mutter
over
and
over
again
,
'
But
what
,
in
God
's
name
,
can
we
do
?
'
Dr
Armitage
slept
,
but
was
partly
delirious
the
next
day
.
He
made
no
explanations
to
Hartwell
,
but
in
his
calmer
moments
spoke
of
the
imperative
need
of
a
long
conference
with
Rice
and
Morgan
.
His
wilder
wanderings
were
very
startling
indeed
,
including
frantic
appeals
that
something
in
a
boarded-up
farmhouse
be
destroyed
,
and
fantastic
references
to
some
plan
for
the
extirpation
of
the
entire
human
race
and
all
animal
and
vegetable
life
from
the
earth
by
some
terrible
elder
race
of
beings
from
another
dimension
.
He
would
shout
that
the
world
was
in
danger
,
since
the
Elder
Things
wished
to
strip
it
and
drag
it
away
from
the
solar
system
and
cosmos
of
matter
into
some
other
plane
or
phase
of
entity
from
which
it
had
once
fallen
,
vigintillions
of
aeons
ago
.
At
other
times
he
would
call
for
the
dreaded
Necronomicon
and
the
Daemonolatreia
of
Remigius
,
in
which
he
seemed
hopeful
of
finding
some
formula
to
check
the
peril
he
conjured
up
.
