Sitting up reading late into the night our doughty heroine Lady Lautrec-De'ath studied the journal of Lem Finlayson. As it's a rather long volume written in a crabbed hand by a man who clearly had very little literacy.
Hints were made at things he'd seen whilst a sailor. Abandoned islands in the Pacific and the strange idols left. He mentions meeting with degenerate islanders who worshipped a god called Dogn and having to fight them off when they attacked, surely for some sort of cannabilistic rotes.
In the twenties he seemed to be disturbed by the people of Innsmouth and hints at a relationship between them and the tribesmen. He implies that they have taken up the foul worship he saw in the tribesmen. When news of the of the government raid on the town came about a deep sense of relief is conveyed.
After retirement Finlayson shows a restlesness about his new role. Notes indicate that he came across the Kingsport Yacht Club and felt that there was a link to the worship he saw in earlier years. He is particularly worried about Gardiner. His last notes seem to hint of suspicions of some sort of secret cave beneath the club and a great plan involving some mobster. His last note indicates that he feels that he has met some allies and hopefully the menace can be stopped!
