At the end of July, Lucy and Mina travel to the coastal town of Whitby for a holiday. Mina is thrilled with the quaint old town, which features a ruined abbey and a graveyard with a view of the ocean which Mina and Lucy adopt as their favorite spot. They meet Mr. Swales, a talkative old man with a supply of opinions and tales about the area. He amuses the women with a long speech on the lies told by tombstones.
Back in London, Dr. Seward continues to observe his patient, Renfield. Seward watches the madman carefully snare dozens of flies; when the doctor complains, Renfield uses the flies to catch spiders; next the spiders are used to catch swallows. Finally Renfield asks Dr. Seward for a kitten, but the doctor refuses, enraging Renfield. The next day Seward finds the swallows gone, except for a few feathers. When Renfield vomits up a bunch of feathers, Seward concludes that the madman has eaten the birds, and that his madness is a compulsion to consume as many animal lives as possible.
By now Mina has received the first of the letters Harker wrote under Dracula's orders, and she is worried by the uncharacteristic shortness of the note. Lucy has developed a habit of sleepwalking, which also worries Mina, but she assumed it's just Lucy's anxiousness to get married. On August 6th, a storm is seen approaching the coast and Mina goes out for a walk. She meets old Mr. Swales, who seems frightened and warns her that something strange and deadly is coming in the approaching storm. A coast guard passes by, and points out to her a strange ship, which he says is Russian, drifting without direction and ignoring the incoming storm.
