Post 2:

This holiday has proved to be far more stressful than relaxing; both Mrs. Rogers and General Macarthur have died since my last journal entry. I am now, as is everyone else, convinced that these incidents along with Mr. Marston's death aren't coincidence. There is a murderer on the island! One of us is possessed by a devil! We found out about the General's death today just as we were about to start luncheon. It quite spoiled the meal. Afterwards, we had a meeting that was instigated by Mr. Wargrave. He revealed that Lombard, Mr. Blore, and the Doctor had searched the island this morning for the murderer, whom they believe is U. N. Owen. But in their search they were unsuccessful; there are only the seven of us left on the island. Wargrave explained what the evidence concluded in saying, "Mr. Owen is one of us..." It was a haunting but logical discovery. He summed up by saying that none of us could or should escape the others' suspicion. Then he went ahead and practically accused me of being U. N. Owen! As if I, a faithful follower of Jesus Christ, would condemn myself like that! It's absurd! But I do believe he is right and that we should be on our guard and not rule anyone out without proof. I fear they suspect me because of the fact that I was alone with Mrs. Rogers when she had fainted while they looked for the voice that we now know was recorded on the Swan Song record. I am most suspicious of Mr. Lombard, for he is neither a law-abiding or God-abiding creature. Over all I'm feeling quite rattled from the day's events. But I need to keep faith. I will survive as long as I continue to live out God's will.
