Chapter Four: Dismissing Zadok's tale as lunatic fantasy, the narrator returns to town to catch the Arkham bus, only to find it experiencing engine trouble - despite making good time on its last run.

Later, as he lies in bed trying to sleep, he starts to hear strange noises, whispered voices, and then the quiet fumbling of someone trying to enter his room ...

Chapter Three: The narrator manages to lure Innsmouth's nonagenarian drunkard, Zadok Allen, into conversation.
