Was that Roger the cabin boy?
I am not aware of the chap's name, but it certainly was not 'Roger the Rabbit' and if you will be so good as to cease treating the matter of the young Lady's demise so disdainfully, I will inform you of the latest developments which are a matter of some interest and concern.
It would appear that 'The Captain's Cabin Boy' has now become embroiled in a matter which has caused HIM some distress, whether or not he has voiced an objection to the manner in which the body was disposed of OR for some other reason (as yet not clear), he became very agitated and was forcibly injected with a sedative (courtesy of the Jewish surgeon) and his presence is no longer quite as visible as it was previously, in fact, his whereabouts is a mystery at the moment.
My contact has expressed his concern that the poor chap, possibly threatening to 'Blow the Whistle' on the whole scenario, may well have suffered the same fate as Carmelle and been 'Lobbed Astern'.
Rocco is distraught, my contact is afraid that there may be repercussions if it becomes known to the Captain that information has leaked out, in fact, both Rocco and my contact are in fear of their lives.
NOT, may I suggest ?, a situation which deserves such cavalier dismissal.
I am going to make it my business to find out more if possible, I am now very interested in the whereabouts of the cabin boy, he is a young chap of about 23 years of age (a little beyond the title of 'Boy') and it is well known on board ship that a certain 'Relationship' has existed between he and the Captain for some time.
Please do be patient, I assure you I am doing my best to avail you of ALL information immediately upon my receiving it.
