1 Telegram, Van Helsing, Antwerp, to Seward, Carfax.
2 They have now gone off to Carfax, with means to get into the house.
3 We broke house at Carfax, but we had night and a walled park to protect us.
4 We entered Carfax without trouble and found all things the same as on the first occasion.
5 I shall try to see the carter who took away the boxes from Carfax when Renfield attacked them.
6 I expected to see him in some shape go back to Carfax; but he evidently sought some other lair.
7 I went back to Smollet, and asked him if he could tell us if any other boxes had been taken from Carfax.
8 He is as yet only suspicious; and he went from Carfax first to the place where he would suspect interference least.
9 Of one thing I am now satisfied: that all the boxes which arrived at Whitby from Varna in the Demeter were safely deposited in the old chapel at Carfax.
10 I ran back at once, told the watchman to get three or four men immediately and follow me into the grounds of Carfax, in case our friend might be dangerous.
11 We know from the inquiry of Jonathan that from the castle to Whitby came fifty boxes of earth, all of which were delivered at Carfax; we also know that at least some of these boxes have been removed.
12 I remembered my experience of the investigation and purchase of Carfax, and I could not but feel that if I could find the former owner there might be some means discovered of gaining access to the house.
13 By good fortune, the men who did the teaming were waiting for work, and the official at once sent them over, sending also by one of them the way-bill and all the papers connected with the delivery of the boxes at Carfax.
14 As to the disposal of forces, it was suggested by the Professor that, after our visit to Carfax, we should all enter the house in Piccadilly; that the two doctors and I should remain there, whilst Lord Godalming and Quincey found the lairs at Walworth and Mile End and destroyed them.
