The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Dracula by Bram Stoker: His horror turned to despair, and in a steady voice he said,
"You had better come too, captain, before it is too late. He is there!
I know the secret now. The sea will save me from Him, and it is all
that is left!" Before I could say a word, or move forward to seize him,
he sprang on the bulwark and deliberately threw himself into the sea.
I suppose I know the secret too, now. It was this madman who had got
rid of the men one by one, and now he has followed them himself.
God help me! How am I to account for all these horrors when I get
to port? When I get to port! Will that ever be?
4 August.--Still fog, which the sunrise cannot pierce, I know
there is sunrise because I am a sailor, why else I know not.
