MD3PAD 172-174

[Toby G Levy]

        Mason asks the ghost of Rebekah for help with astronomic
problems. She laughs them off. She tells him to "belong" to the earth
and everything will be revealed.

vw#50: telluric - Of or relating to Earth; terrestrial.

        Rebekah assures Mason there is nothing he needs to do for her
and then disappears.

vw#51: crepuscle - twilight.

        Mason attempts conversation with Maskelyne, but he is morose.
Maskelyne now denies the existence of Dieter, the german soldier, and
Mason is very puzzled.

        The wind is starting to really get to Mason. He fears for his
sanity. He decides to flee to the leeward side of the album and flags
down a small craft off shore.  A voice coming out of nowhere suggests he
be dropped off at "Break-neck," and the ship operator consents to take
him for an exorbitant fee.
