We knew that soon we should come to Mandaroon. We made a meal, and Mandaroon appeared. Then the captain commanded, and the sailors loosed again the greater sails, and the ship turned and left the stream of Yann and came into a harbour beneath the ruddy walls of Mandaroon. WE KNEW THAT SOON WE SHOULD COME TO MANDAROON WE MADE A MEAL AND MANDAROON APPEARED THEN THE CAPTAIN COMMANDED AND THE SAILORS LOOSED AGAIN THE GREATER SAILS AND THE SHIP TURNED LEFT AND LEFT THE STREAM OF YON AND CAME INTO A HARBOR BENEATH THE RUDDY WALLS OF MANDAROON
re where the frail affectionate gods whom the heathen love were being humbly invoked; so I bethought me, instead, of Sheol Nugganoth, whom the men of the jungle have long since deserted, who is now unworshipped and alone; and to him I prayed. And upon us praying the night came suddenly down, as it comes upon all men who pray at evening and upon all men who do not; yet our prayers comforted our own souls when we thought of the Great Night to come. And so Yann bore us magnificently onwards, for he was elate with molten snow that the Poltiades had brought him from the Hills of Hap, and the Marn and Migris were swollen with floods; and he bore us in his full might past Kyph and Pir, and we saw the lights of Goolunza. Soon we all slept except the helmsman, who kept the ship in the mid-stream of Yann. When the sun rose the helmsman ceased to sing, for by song he cheered himself in the lonely night. When the song ceased we suddenly all awoke, and another took the helm, and the helmsman slept. O A JEALOUS GOD THERE WHERE THE FRAIL AFFECTIONATE GODS WHOM THE HEATHEN LOVE WERE BEING HUMBLY INVOKED SO I BETHOUGHT ME INSTEAD OF SHIEL NEWGANOTH WHOM THE MEN OF THE JUNGLE HAVE LONG SINCE DESERTED WHO WAS NOW UNWORSHIPPED AND ALONE AND TO HIM I PRAYED AND UPON US PRAYING THE NIGHT CAME SUDDENLY DOWN AS IT COMES UPON ALL MEN WHO PRAY AT EVENING AND UPON ALL MEN WHO DO NOT YET OUR PRAYERS COMFORTED OUR OWN SOULS WHEN WE THOUGHT OF THE GREAT NIGHT TO COME AND SO JAN BORE US MAGNIFICENTLY ONWARDS FOR HE WAS ELATE WITH MOLTEN SNOW THAT THE POLTIETES HAD BROUGHT HIM FROM THE HILLS OF HAP AND THE MARNE AND MEGRIS WERE SWOLLEN WITH FLOODS AND HE BORE US IN HIS FULL MIGHT PAST KEITH AND PIER AND WE SAW THE LIGHTS OF GUULENZA SOON WE ALL SLEPT EXCEPT THE HELMSMAN WHO KEPT THE SHIP IN THE MID STREAM OF YAWN WHEN THE SUN ROSE THE HELMSMAN CEASED TO SING FOR BY SONG HE CHEERED HIMSELF IN THE LONELY NIGHT WHEN THE SONG CEASED WE SUDDENLY ALL AWOKE AND ANOTHER TOOK THE HELM AND THE HELMSMAN SLEPT
