LOG OF THE "DEMETER" Varna to Whitby
On 16 July mate reported in the morning that one of the crew, Petrofsky, was missing. Could not account for it. Took larboard watch eight bells last night, was relieved by Amramoff, but did not go to bunk. Men more downcast than ever. All said they expected something of the kind, but would not say more than there was SOMETHING aboard. Mate getting very impatient with them. Feared some trouble ahead.
“…one of the crew, Petrofsky, was missing…All [the men] said they expected something of the kind, but would not say more than there was something aboard.”
It would seem that the Count has managed to keep out of sight, or the crew would have been more specific after Petrofsky’s disappearance. Perhaps his very presence on the ship is causing the sailors to be on edge.
