The narrator finds an old Australian newspaper (Sydney Bulletin, April 18, 1925) in a museum, showing a picture of a stone idol identical to the one Legrasse found in the swamp., 1, The newspaper article describes the rescue of the steam yacht Alert by the freighter Vigilant. One survivor, Gustaf Johansen, is found aboard with a strange stone idol., 2, Johansen's story (as reported): His ship Emma was attacked by the Alert's hybrid crew. After a battle, Johansen and his men captured the yacht and killed its crew., 3, Johansen and his men discover an unknown island in the Pacific (coordinates given) made of Cyclopean green stone—the sunken city of R'lyeh., 4, The men explore the impossible city with its "wrong" geometry—angles that shouldn't exist, surfaces that shift between concave and convex., 5, They find an enormous carved door. When they push it, the door opens inward, revealing a blackness that seems almost solid., 6, The Thing emerges—Cthulhu itself, a mountain-sized horror with a squid-like head and gelatinous green body. Three men are killed instantly., 7, Johansen and one crewmate escape to the Alert and sail away, but Cthulhu pursues them through the water., 8, In desperation, Johansen turns the ship around and rams Cthulhu, causing the creature to explode like a bursting bladder—but it immediately begins to reform., 9, Johansen is rescued days later, his hair turned white. Briden has gone mad and died. The narrator travels to Oslo to find Johansen, but learns he died from a "freak accident"—papers falling from a window., 10, Johansen's widow gives the narrator her husband's manuscript. After reading it, the narrator realizes the cult still exists, that Cthulhu still lives (reforming in R'lyeh), and that he now knows too much to survive., 11.
