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.

Was it Master Bates that lobbed it astern?

Also, was Seaman Staines involved in this?

For goodness's sake have patience my friend, there is more yet I am sure

I hope not!

Having just received a telephone call (rather than a text message) from my contact aboard ship, I can inform you that the whereabouts of the cabin boy has been discovered, he is heavily sedated in the very same cabin as was poor Carmelle on the eve of her demise.

My contact has vowed that both he and Rocco are going to remain vigilant throughout the night lest some foul fate may befall the unfortunate chap.

They have not been able to ascertain just what the situation with him is, nor can they be sure that the problem is a lack of loyalty to his Captain although Rocco did witness the action of sedation by the Jewish surgeon since he physically restrained the cabin boy in order to effect it's administration.

Rocco did not grasp just what the cabin boy was saying when he held him down due to the fact that Rocco is also Columbian (as was Carmelle) and does not fully understand Turkish, he does vouch for the fact that the Captain was extremely annoyed at the time and that he punched the cabin boy several times ( quite usual among Turks and their servants or lovers) which incapacitated the cabin boy somewhat.

That which has been reported so far is an accurate account of events even though it was taken from text messages, the safety or fate of my contact, Rocco and the cabin boy are now quite clearly a matter of grave concern and I have made arrangements with some associates of mine to act with some alacrity.

Later tonight we intend to put to sea and draw near to the cruise ship, we will be in communication with my contact and, if instructed will mount a rescue bid.

Failing that, we will follow the ship's wake and lay off unless instructed otherwise, this latter action will obviously be more time consuming and I may be absent for a few days.

Fear not fellow forumers, you will be informed of any developments just as soon as the opportunity presents itself.

The Israelis are experienced at boarding ships, perhaps they can help but beware of Turks weilding iron bars!

Turks or no Turks, they will probably just shoot everyone with automatic rifles and then claim that they were attacked with forks and spoons.

Well folks, as promised, I am now about to give you the latest news on the outcome of my seaborne trip.

We departed Larnaca Marina late on Saturday night and did not make contact with the cruise ship until late evening Suinday, we were reluctant to make too close an approach since it may have compromised the security of my contact and Rocco.

As it transpired, Rocco decided to remain on board (for reasons I will explain) whereas my contact felt it would be better for him to leave (if possible).

Upon his signal. we made a close approach and he lowered himself overboard and dropped into the sea, quite a dangerous manoeuvre since the ship was in motion (fortunately not at speed) and we had to act swiftly to haul him aboard before the turbulence of the ship's wake engulfed him.

What a tale he has to tell !!, the reason for the Captain's assault on the cabin boy was not because of any fear that he would 'Blow the Whistle' on what he had witnessed regarding the disposal of Carmelle's body, it was because the Captain had learned of a liaison between the 'Turkish Physician' (who was initially airlifted aboard) and the cabin boy, apparently they were known to each other BEFORE the Captain became enamoured with the lad and the Captain was terribly distressed to learn that they had indulged each others desires whilst the problem with Carmelle was his main concern.

As for the 'Turkish Physician', he managed to escape the wrath of the Captain by proposing (with the Jewish Surgeon) a scheme which would prove to be financially beneficial to the three of them.

As we knew, (from earlier communications) the cabin boy was heavily sedated in the actual cabin where poor Carmelle had passed away, despite the efforts to save her by the 'Jewish Surgeon' (and at the time when the 'Turkish Physician was with the cabin boy) BUT, what we did not know at the time was that the proposal made by the 'Turkish Physician' necessitated the cabin boy being heavily sedated for a particular reason.

The 'Turkish Physician' had discovered that the eminent 'Jewish Surgeon' was in fact renowned for his skills for 'Plastic Surgery' and it was THAT discovery which sowed the seeds of an abominable plan in the 'Turkish Physician's' mind.

It was HE that informed the Captain of his liaison with the cabin boy, HE that suggested that the Captain should administer severe punisment upon the unfortunate chap and, HE that proposed that the cabin boy should be sedated and placed in the cabin which had been arranged as an operating theatre.

The 'Turkish Physician' had previously approached the 'Jewish Surgeon' and proposed that they (in the event of not being able to save Carmelle') should sever the breasts of the beautiful young Lady and 'Graft' them onto the back of the cabin boy !!, the financial benefits of such a proposal need no explanation (particularly on a Turkish ship) and the deal was done.

Rocco has decided to stay on board, he has been told of why there was so much blood on the sheets poor Carmelle's body was swathed in, he can at least savour some of the charms of his lost love when the cabin boy is ready for service, The 'Jewish Surgeon' is in with a shout for a percentage of the 'Take' (I believe they are still arguing about WHAT percentage), The 'Turkish Physician' is contented with HIS interests in the arrangement and the Captain was heard to remark that he was looking forward to running a 'Happy Ship'.

As to the cabin boy, HE will have HIS work cut out being the focus of attention on such 'Happy Voyages' envisaged by the Captain, my contact is lucky to have escaped. (IMHO)
