- During the trip...
- Arriving at the hospital in Baltimore(supposedly) unconscious, Poe wakes up trembling until the next day.
- His behavior is followed by imaginary shapes, constant talking, as well as constant delirium as to where he left his luggage.
- He constantly yells, and finally calms down, then dies.
