Present: Professor Van Helsing, Lord Godalming, Dr.Seward, Mr.Quincey Morris, Jonathan Harker, Mina Harker.
Dr.Van Helsing described what steps were taken during the day to discover on what boat and whither bound Count Dracula made his escape.
"As I knew that he wanted to get back to Transylvania, I felt sure that he must go by the Danube mouth, or by somewhere in the Black Sea, since by that way he come.

It was a dreary blank that was before us.
_Omne ignotum pro magnifico_; and so with heavy hearts we start to find what ships leave for the Black Sea last night.

He was in sailing ship, since Madam Mina tell of sails being set.

These not so important as to go in your list of the shipping in the Times, and so we go, by suggestion of Lord Godalming, to your Lloyd's, where are note of all ships that sail, however so small.

There we find that only one Black Sea bound ship go out with the tide.
