The ancient and heart-aching force draw me to the new wreck I spotted from across the harbour. I was drawn to its hold & there the only thing I found was a large crate, its unknown scent wanting me to rip it open. I needed a crowbar or tool of some kind. Captain tied to the wheel, and nothing more than a crate containing silver sand and soil.

24 July. Whitby - Lucy met me at the station, & we drove up to the house in which they have rooms. This is a lovely place. The little river, the Esk, runs through a deep valley, which broadens out as it comes near the harbour.
DLG ITM_5
Between the abbey & the town there is a church, round which is a big graveyard, all full of tombstones. This is to my mind the nicest spot in Whitby, for it lies right over the town, & has a full view of the harbour & all up the bay to where the headland called Kettleness stretches out into the sea. It descends so steeply over the harbour that part of the bank has fallen away, & some of the graves have been destroyed. In one place part of the stonework of the graves stretches out over the sandy pathway far below.
DLG ITM_6
The harbour lies below me. It is nice at high water; but when the tide is out it shoals away to nothing, & here is merely the stream of the Esk, running between banks of sand, with rocks here and there.
DLG ITM_7
Right over the town is the ruin of Whitby Abbey, which was sacked by the Danes, and which is the scene of part of "Marmion", where the girl was built up in the wall. It is a most noble ruin, of immense size, and full of beautiful and romantic bits; there is a legend that a white lady is seen in one of the windows.
DLG ITM_8
High tide had come by the time I reached rocks of the shoreline. Outside the harbour on this side there rises for about half a mile a great reef, the sharp edge of which runs straight out from behind the south lighthouse. At the end of it is a buoy with a bell, which swings in bad weather, and sends in a mournful sound on the wind. They have a legend here that when a ship is lost bells are heard out at sea.
DLG ITM_9
Once the tide was in the harbour filled with ships & boats of all sizes. Chatter in both English & languages I didn't understand filled both the quayside & the vessels mooring up.

{sequence
- I walked a while on the soft Whitby Sands. Scandalously I took off my shoes - {shk}Please do not tell anyone dear reader{shk}, for I shall be locked away in a dungeon or some such place of correctitude for my wanton disregard of civil behaviour befitting a {wvy}lady{wvy}.
- I decided to return to the guest rooms in the town as the sky fell heavy over the sea & the stillness of the air on the shore became quite oppressive.
- Before I arrived at the guest house the sky had turned an ominous shade of crimson. It was not something I had ever witnessed before & was unsettling in its unnaturalness. That night I watched from my window as the storm raged. The sea, running mountains high, threw skywards with each wave mighty masses of white foam, which the tempest seemed to snatch at and whirl away into space. Late on, as it subsided, I saw lights on the shore near the church across the harbour, & resolved to find out what was happening there.

Approaching the abbey by lantern light I was startled by an immense dog that rushed by me and disappeared into the darkness. A little shaken, I continued my walk down to the shore by the church.
DLG ITM_c
I arrived at the place where I had seen the lights from across the harbour. Here a large group of men were clambering over a ruined schooner caught out in the storm & pitched up unceremoniously on The Sear an hour or so before I arrived. Their looks were confused, & I overheard talk of the dead captain tied to the wheel bearing a crucifix & no-one else aboard. The cargo they mentioned was unusual to me - silver sand and earth. "Where that huge dog is now, & how it survived that ungodly storm I will never no," one of them said with unease in his voice. I stayed until it was light, & then headed to the station to meet my fiance Jonathan, who I was expecting on the early train.

As I waited at the station for Jonathan, I could not take my mind off the storm & shipwreck, & it filled me with a great unease. I now know why, but at that time I did not know that it was because Dracula had landed at Whitby on that very night. [THE END] Adapted from Mina Murray's journal.
