''The autopsy is proving...unusual," Dr. Rathburn said, his usually cheerful face grim. "Please follow me. I apologize, by the way; it is more than commonly grisly."''

''I followed him into the morgue, where the victim's corpse had been laid on the metal dissection table. "Cause of death--the shovel blow from Donahue, of course. But I found this."''

''Even someone so inexpert in anatomy as I could see immediately that the long gray eel-thing which had entwined itself around the base of the skull and the spinal column was no human organ.''

''"Then Donahue...?" I muttered, still unbelieving.''

''"Probably correct about everything," the doctor replied, covering the corpse again. "Veck's actions were quite possibly controlled by this parasite."''

''"And the 'Master in the Sea' he spoke of?" I asked. "Could it have possibly really use that--thing--to control a human body?"''

''"At this point we can assume nothing," Rathbone replied. "We had better get Donahue out of the cell...and find a way to learn who is already at the 'Master's' beck and call."''
