As it got late and dark, land was sighted. The crew makes there way to the land. Prendick and Montgomery had dinner with the Captain's mate. After the captain vented his wrath, he went below deck and passed out on his cabin floor. Montgomery seems pretty bummed about London, and Prendick tries to satisfy him with as much news and gossip as he can remember. Prendick also wonders about the beasts on board, but he doesn't say his concerns in fear of angering him. Prendick thanks him for saving his life, and Montgomery verges on revealing his past, alluding to how he lost his head for a couple of minutes on a dark foggy night. But Montgomery eventually decides not to share his story, and Prendick respects it and leaves it at that. Prendick's eyes meet with M'lings and he goes to sleep that night with bad dreams due to the "bestial glow in them".
