'To Númenor!' said Mithadan, turning in the chair to look at the stranger. 'Have I been asleep that long that we are bound to rescue the hobbits before the Isle sinks?' He shook his head and frowned. 'Child! Rose! are they alright? I must see them!'

He started to stand but the man in the doorway stopped him. 'Sit, Mithadan. Rest easy. Child and Rose are as well as they can be in Beleriand among the hobbits. We are on our way to Númenor to see how we can rescue the hobbits once they are imprisoned there. None of the crew knows the land, and they knew not if you had any knowledge of it or if you did, would be up and able to share it.'

'Do I know you?' asked Mithadan, looking closely at the now approaching man. 'It seems I must, for your presence is familiar to me, though I do not recognize your form. Perhaps, though, you were one of those in my dreams and that is how I know you.'

'No, I have never met you - in Middle-earth or in dreams.' He regarded Mithadan with a kind look in his eyes. 'I am called Ancalimon. I had heard the companions might need some help, and I have come to lend mine.'
