After fighting with the sea vigorously, he finds himself on Ship-Trap Island. Immediately, he searches for civilization; he comes across a large chateau with a gargoyle used as a knocker. In need of desperate food and rest, Rainsford knocks on the door. A large man opens the door, says nothing, and points his revolver at Rainsford. Down the stairwell, a man named General Zaroff greeted Rainsford. He was an affablecosmopolite. Zaroff tells Rainsford of how a zealous hunter he is. He boasts by saying he always catches his quarry. However, hunting animals bored Zaroff; he hunts humans. Knowing that Rainsford enjoys hunting as much as he does, Zaroff invites Rainsford to hunt with him. Rainsford’s scruples stop him from hunting humans so he declined the invite. Furious, Zaroff becomes unhappy with Rainsford’s decision and decides that he will hunt Rainsford. Can you help Rainsford?
