We Heard the sound of horses far yet , we had a look with our glass, and saw out four men on horseback , pursuing some gypsies who carried the box. But then suddenly they had the place full of gypsies. They fired and the gypsies took their knives no attack.
In the middle of this I could see that Jonathan jumped into the c
art , raised the great box and flew it over the wheels to the ground meanwhile Morris was fighting the Gypsies. One of them cut him , and I saw him bleeding. Just then the lid of the box was moved backwatch.
It was then what we also fired from out side to help our Friends. We were now nearly. By this time the gypsies seeing themselves covered b the Winchesters had given in and made no further resistance.
The sun was almost down and the whole grup ran away. I saw the Count lying within the box, just like a waken image. At that instant Jonathan cut off his head, while Morris knife plunged into his heart.
It was like a miracle , the whole body crumbled into that and passed from our sight .Then the man was in the box , there was in the face such a look of peace , as I could have never imagined.
Mr Morris fell to the ground . We flew to him. Wich a sigh he took my hand with a feble effort he smiled at me and said.
I am only happy to have been of service . Oh god ...! he cried pointing to me. It was worth for this to die !Look ! Her forehaed is clean. The curse has passed away!
And to our most bitter grief, with a smile and in silence, a brave gentleman died.-

Dracula.-
We have come to understand that sunrise and sunset are to Mina times of peculiar freedom when her old self can be manifiested without any controlling forcé. Tonight taking her husband hands in hers, she began...
We are all here together in freedom for perhaps the last time!Then I shall tell you plaintly what I want. You must all promise me, even you, my beloved husband, that if the time should come, you will kill me.
One by one, even Jonathan with inmense sorrow in his heart, made our promise to her with our eyes full of tears.
No news yet of the ship we waited for The Count is escaping from us.
A telegram came announcing the arrival of the ship in Galazt.
Now we are well equipped for our persecution, Lord Goddming and Jonathan have a lovely steam launch ready to stars. Dr S and Mr M have half a dozen good horses.
We have all the maps and appliances of various kinds that can he had Van H and I are to leave by train tonight for Veresti Where we are to buy a carriage to drive to the Borgo Pass. We shall drive ourselves we can trust no one. We have all got arms even me, a large revolver. The weather is getting colder every hour and there are snow flurries wich come and go.
It took all my courage to say goodbye to my Darling. We may never meet again.
Madam Mina has been so drowsy all day that she was not like herself. She deeps all the time. She has done literally nothing all day long , she has lost her appetite. She makes no countries into her diary. At sunset I tried to hypnotize her, but with no effect.
I begin to fear that the fatal spell of the place was upon her.
Some Wheeling figures of mist and snow came closer, but keeping out of the Holy Circle I made. Then They began to materialize into the same three woman that Jonathan saw in the room.They smiled at por Mina and said Come to us, sister.
God be thanked she is not yet, one of them for I saw the horror in her eyes. At the first coming of the dawn these horrid figures in the whirling mist and snow.
When I left Madam Mina sleeping within the Holy Circle, I took my way at least to do my terrible work. I knew that there were at least three graves to find. So I searched and I found them. These females laid so full of life and beauty that I shuddered.Before the spell could be wrought upon me, I had nerved myself to my wild work.
There was one great tomb more lordly tan all the rest. Huge it was and nobly decorated. On it was but one Word...Drácula. This then was the home of the Un K Vampire to whom so many more were due.
After I finished my horrible task, before leaving the Castle. I fixed its entrances so that never more can the Count enter there.
When I stepped into the circle, Madam Mina woke up from her sleep. She tells me that she knows our Friends are close.

Dracula.-
I was wakened up by Mina. She said to me hurriendly...Go, call The Professor. I want to see him at once, Why. I asked.
I have an idea I suppose it must have come in th night and matured without me knokwing it. He must hypnotize me before the dawn and then I shall be able to speak. Go quickly, dear. the time is getting close.
Two or three minutes later Van H was in the room and Mr Morris and Lord G were with Dr S at the door. She explained her idea to Van H and he began his work. Gradually her eyes closed. When Mina opened her eyes, she did not seem to be the same woman.
Where are you ? The answer came in a neutral way. I do not Know. Sleep has no place it can call its own. For several minutes there was silence. Mina sat rigid and the Professor stod staring at her fixelly. The rest of us hardly dared to breathe.
What do you see?
I can see nothing. It is all dark.
What do you hear?
The lapping of wáter. I can hear some men outside.
Then you are on a ship?
Oh yes...The answer came quick.
What are you doing ?
I am still, oh so still. It is like death...
By this time the sun had risen, Dr V h placed his hands on Mina shoulders and laid her head down softly on her pillow.
There is not a momento to lose. It may not be yet too late...
He must have taken his last earth box on board a ship, and he leaves the land to his castle. Let s follow him.-

Dracula.-
Lord Arthur and Q arrived. They had found twelve boxes in the place and had destroyed them all. Our work was not over, and would never be until we find the missing box.
We all could hear a key soflty inserted in the lock of the hall door. The slow, careful steps came along the hall. The Count was evidently prepared for some surprise. Suddenly he leaped into the room. There was something pantherlike in the movement. The first to act was Harker who trew himself before the door leading into the room. We all advanced upon him. It was a pity that was we had not better organized a plan of attack.
The expression of the Count s face was so hellish that for a momento I feared for Harker. I moved forward with a protective impulse holding the Crucifix and Wafer in my left hand. It would be imposible to describe the expression of hate and anger on his face He threw himself out of he window. We ran over and saw him spring unhurt from the ground. He turned and spoke to us.
You think to baffle me .You shall be sorry You think you have left me without a place to rest, but I have more. I have spread them over centuries and time is on my side. Your girls are mine already. And through them you shall also be mine, to be my jackals when I want to feed.
The first to speak was the Professor...we have learnt something he fears us. For if not, why did he run away?
With sad hearts we came back to my house where we found Mr H waiting us, and we told her eveything which had happened.
J, she said and the world sounded like music on her lips it was full of love and tenderness. J dear, and you all my true Friends I know that you might fight. That you must destroy. But this is not a work of hate. That por soul who has wrought all this misery is the saddest case of all. You must be pitiful to him, too.

We entered Carfax without any trouble and found all things the same as on the first occasion.We opened the coffins. The earth smelled sickly but we did not seem to mind. The Professor took from his bag a piece of the Sacred Wafer and he laid it reverently on the earth. One by one we treated in the same way each of the great boxes and left them as we had found them to all appearnce. As we passed across the lawn on our way to the station to cath our train, we could see the front of the asylum. I looked eagerly and in the window of my own room saw Mina.She was waving her hand. I might no see her again, How much I love her.
Picadilly 12 30 o clock. We could enter the house thanks to Arthur and Quincey acquaintances. None even suspected that Lord Godalming was not the real owner, and the pólice sent a man to open the door to him. While they both were leaving to the third addreess, we moved to explore the house, All keeping together in case of attack, for we did not know if the Count might be in the house.
In the dinning room wich was at the back of the Wall, we found eight boxes. It was evident to us that the Count was not at present in the house and we proceeded to search for any of his effects.

Dracula.-
Mina is so good and brave that we all felt that our hearts were strenghened to work and endure for her.
We began to discuss what we were to do. As usual Van had thought ahead of everyone else and had prepared everyhing with an exact ordering.
It was finally agreed that before starting for Picadilly, the second house of the Count, we should destroy the Count lair close at hand.
Breakfast was ready, We tried to be cheerful and encourage each other and Mina was the brightest and most cheerful of us. When we finished, the Professor said to my wife.
Now, Madam Mina, you are in any case quite safe here until the sunset.But before we go, let me see you armed against personal attack. I have prepared your chamber so that he may not enter. Now let me guard yourself. On your forehead I touch this piece of Sacred Wafer in the name of the Father . the Son and...
There was a fearful scream wich almost froze our hearts to hear. As he had placed the Wafer on Mina forehead it had burned into the skin as though it had been a piece of White hot metal-I t was a horrible burn.

One of my patients got serously wounded,He said that the Count had visited his house. I fear for Mina!I woke Van, Arthur and Q. Outside the Harkers s doors we paused. We opened the door. What I saw appalled me. On the bed beside the window laid J Harker, his face flushed and breathing heavily as though in a stupor.K on the near edge of the bed facing outwards was his wife. By her side stood the Count. His right hand gripped her by the back of the neck, forcing her to face down on his bosom. Her White nighdress was smeared with blood. As we burst into the room, The Count turned his face and his eyes flamed red with devilish passion.
The Professor had gained his feet and was holding towards him an envelope wich contained the Sacred Wafer. The Count stopped as we advanced lifting our crucifixes. The moonlight suddenly failed and later, we saw nothing but a faint vapour.
For a few seconds and then full consciousness seemed to burst upon him at once and he started up.
In God name what does this mean?Harker cried out...Mina, dear what is it?What does all that blood mean?My god...Help her with a quick movement he jumped from bed and began to put on his clothes. What has happened?Tell me about it !He cried without pausing. Dr Van do something to sabe her. It cannot have gone too far yet. Guard her while I look for him!His wife seized hold of him and cried out...No, Jonathan you must not leave me. I have suffered enough tonight. God knows!
Van H and I tried to calm them both. The Professor held up his Golden crucifix and said with wonderful calmness. Do not fear, my dear. We are here and while this is close to you no foul thing can approach. You are safe tonight can approach. You are safe tonight and we must be calm and take counsel together.
Unclean, unclean...I must touch him or Kiss him no more, she cried.
To this her husband spoke out resolutely, nonsense, Mina. He put out his arms and folded to his breast.
Then Mina told us what happened to her, how she saw the mist again all over the room, how she tried to awake Jonathan, but she could not, how the Count took her blood.Her husband was broken and she suddenly stopped for it was too hard for her to go on with the next part of her terrible story...
He pulled open his shirt, and with his long Sharp nails opened a vein in his breast, he seized my neck and presssed my mouth to the wound so that I must swallow some to his...What have I done to deserve such a fate? God pity me !
