'
Stop
them
,
stop
them
!
'
he
would
shout
.
'
Those
Whateleys
meant
to
let
them
in
,
and
the
worst
of
all
is
left
!
Tell
Rice
and
Morgan
we
must
do
something
--
it
's
a
blind
business
,
but
I
know
how
to
make
the
powder
...
It
has
n't
been
fed
since
the
second
of
August
,
when
Wilbur
came
here
to
his
death
,
and
at
that
rate
...
'
122
But
Armitage
had
a
sound
physique
despite
his
seventy-three
years
,
and
slept
off
his
disorder
that
night
without
developing
any
real
fever
.
He
woke
late
Friday
,
clear
of
head
,
though
sober
with
a
gnawing
fear
and
tremendous
sense
of
responsibility
.
Saturday
afternoon
he
felt
able
to
go
over
to
the
library
and
summon
Rice
and
Morgan
for
a
conference
,
and
the
rest
of
that
day
and
evening
the
three
men
tortured
their
brains
in
the
wildest
speculation
and
the
most
desperate
debate
.
Strange
and
terrible
books
were
drawn
voluminously
from
the
stack
shelves
and
from
secure
places
of
storage
;
and
diagrams
and
formulae
were
copied
with
feverish
haste
and
in
bewildering
abundance
.
Of
scepticism
there
was
none
.
All
three
had
seen
the
body
of
Wilbur
Whateley
as
it
lay
on
the
floor
in
a
room
of
that
very
building
,
and
after
that
not
one
of
them
could
feel
even
slightly
inclined
to
treat
the
diary
as
a
madman
's
raving
.
123
Opinions
were
divided
as
to
notifying
the
Massachusetts
State
Police
,
and
the
negative
finally
won
.

There
were
things
involved
which
simply
could
not
be
believed
by
those
who
had
not
seen
a
sample
,
as
indeed
was
made
clear
during
certain
subsequent
investigations
.
Late
at
night
the
conference
disbanded
without
having
developed
a
definite
plan
,
but
all
day
Sunday
Armitage
was
busy
comparing
formulae
and
mixing
chemicals
obtained
from
the
college
laboratory
.
The
more
he
reflected
on
the
hellish
diary
,
the
more
he
was
inclined
to
doubt
the
efficacy
of
any
material
agent
in
stamping
out
the
entity
which
Wilbur
Whateley
had
left
behind
him
--
the
earth
threatening
entity
which
,
unknown
to
him
,
was
to
burst
forth
in
a
few
hours
and
become
the
memorable
Dunwich
horror
.
125
Monday
was
a
repetition
of
Sunday
with
Dr
Armitage
,
for
the
task
in
hand
required
an
infinity
of
research
and
experiment
.
Further
consultations
of
the
monstrous
diary
brought
about
various
changes
of
plan
,
and
he
knew
that
even
in
the
end
a
large
amount
of
uncertainty
must
remain
.
By
Tuesday
he
had
a
definite
line
of
action
mapped
out
,
and
believed
he
would
try
a
trip
to
Dunwich
within
a
week
.
Then
,
on
Wednesday
,
the
great
shock
came
.
Tucked
obscurely
away
in
a
corner
of
the
Arkham
Advertiser
was
a
facetious
little
item
from
the
Associated
Press
,
telling
what
a
record-breaking
monster
the
bootleg
whisky
of
Dunwich
had
raised
up
.
Armitage
,
half
stunned
,
could
only
telephone
for
Rice
and
Morgan
.
Far
into
the
night
they
discussed
,
and
the
next
day
was
a
whirlwind
of
preparation
on
the
part
of
them
all
.
126
Armitage
knew
he
would
be
meddling
with
terrible
powers
,
yet
saw
that
there
was
no
other
way
to
annul
the
deeper
and
more
malign
meddling
which
others
had
done
before
him
.
127
Friday
morning
Armitage
,
Rice
,
and
Morgan
set
out
by
motor
for
Dunwich
,
arriving
at
the
village
about
one
in
the
afternoon
.
The
day
was
pleasant
,
but
even
in
the
brightest
sunlight
a
kind
of
quiet
dread
and
portent
seemed
to
hover
about
the
strangely
domed
hills
and
the
deep
,
shadowy
ravines
of
the
stricken
region
.
Now
and
then
on
some
mountain
top
a
gaunt
circle
of
stones
could
be
glimpsed
against
the
sky
.
From
the
air
of
hushed
fright
at
Osborn
's
store
they
knew
something
hideous
had
happened
,
and
soon
learned
of
the
annihilation
of
the
Elmer
Frye
house
and
family
.
Throughout
that
afternoon
they
rode
around
Dunwich
,
questioning
the
natives
concerning
all
that
had
occurred
,
and
seeing
for
themselves
with
rising
pangs
of
horror
the
drear
Frye
ruins
with
their
lingering
traces
of
the
tarry
stickiness
,
the
blasphemous
tracks
in
the
Frye
yard
,
the
wounded
Seth
Bishop
cattle
,
and
the
enormous
swaths
of
disturbed
vegetation
in
various
places
.
The
trail
up
and
down
Sentinel
Hill
seemed
to
Armitage
of
almost
cataclysmic
significance
,
and
he
looked
long
at
the
sinister
altar-like
stone
on
the
summit
.

At
length
the
visitors
,
apprised
of
a
party
of
State
Police
which
had
come
from
Aylesbury
that
morning
in
response
to
the
first
telephone
reports
of
the
Frye
tragedy
,
decided
to
seek
out
the
officers
and
compare
notes
as
far
as
practicable
.
This
,
however
,
they
found
more
easily
planned
than
performed
;
since
no
sign
of
the
party
could
be
found
in
any
direction
.
There
had
been
five
of
them
in
a
car
,
but
now
the
car
stood
empty
near
the
ruins
in
the
Frye
yard
.
129
The
natives
,
all
of
whom
had
talked
with
the
policemen
,
seemed
at
first
as
perplexed
as
Armitage
and
his
companions
.
Then
old
Sam
Hutchins
thought
of
something
and
turned
pale
,
nudging
Fred
Farr
and
pointing
to
the
dank
,
deep
hollow
that
yawned
close
by
.
