Narrative Connection
How these two moments in the story relate
Why These Connect
The narrative assertion
"The Daleks abandoning the Mary Celeste after failing to capture the TARDIS crew (Flight Through Eternity) is echoed in their relentless confirmation of the TARDIS's location and deployment of a capture force (Journey into Terror), reinforcing the theme of unstoppable pursuit."

Why This Matters Across Episodes
The longer arc this connection carries
The abandonment of the Mary Celeste serves as a precursor to the Daleks' more sophisticated tactics in Episode 33, where they directly target the TARDIS. Dalek 2's continuity in command underscores this thematic callback.
