The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Call of Cthulhu by H. P. Lovecraft: eddying and foaming in the noisome brine, and as the steam mounted
higher and higher the brave Norwegian drove his vessel head on
against the pursuing jelly which rose above the unclean froth
like the stern of a daemon galleon. The awful squid-head with
writhing feelers came nearly up to the bowsprit of the sturdy
yacht, but johansen drove on relentlessly. There was a bursting
as of an exploding bladder, a slushy nastiness as of a cloven
sunfish, a stench as of a thousand opened graves, and a sound
that the chronicler could not put on paper. For an instant the
ship was befouled by an acrid and blinding green cloud, and then
there was only a venomous seething astern; where - God in heaven!
