Dracula - The Hunters' Journals


Jonathan Harker’s Journal (cont).


24 October.—A whole week of waiting. Daily telegrams to Godalming, but only the same story: “Not yet reported.” Mina’s morning and evening hypnotic answer is unvaried: lapping waves, rushing water, and creaking masts.

Telegram, October 24th.

Rufus Smith, Lloyd’s, London, to Lord Godalming, care of H. B. M.
Vice-Consul, Varna.


Czarina Catherine reported this morning from Dardanelles.”

Notes: Moon Phase: Waxing Crescent

Harker letting us know that nothing new has happened in a week. A telegram lets us know the Czarina Catherine has been spotted.
