Onboard SS ERIN 0430 08NOV17:

The messenger on watch entered the crew berthing compartment and quietly awakened the junior steward. The junior steward quickly got up and dressed. He left the berthing compartment and stopped for a cup of Java before preparing the shower for Señora Blanco. He was annoyed about having to rise so early, but Señora Blanco was a very demanding passenger. She insisted that she get the first shower ahead of her fellow passengers. He knocked on her door at 0500. He waited patiently outside her door to escort her to the shower and stand guard outside while she showered. She opened the door promptly at 0515 and the steward respectfully greeted her and escorted her to the shower. He guarded the door as she entered the shower room. The time was now 0520 [two hours after the death of Seaman Martins]. Within seconds, the steward could hear the Señora screaming as if someone was trying to kill her. Not thinking of the propriety of entering the shower room with a married woman inside, he instinctively rushed in to protect a woman in trouble. He saw a man dressed all in black moving so quickly he could barely see him. The intruder climbed the wall as if he were a giant insect and started walking on the ceiling! Suddenly, Señora Blanco stopped breathing and the man just disappeared! He looked down to see the (now dead) woman bleeding on the floor of the shower. he felt someone land upon him and push him aside to exit the room, but the steward could no longer see the killer. It was as if he was invisible! He felt the man push him aside, but could not see him! It was like some bizarre nightmare!

Afraid, to touch the naked woman, he left the room and raised the alarm. Within minutes, the messenger and Second Mate entered the shower room and were stunned at what they saw. The messenger threw up while the Second Mate examined the obviously dead woman. It looked like she had been strabbed a dozen times by a madman! It was if Jack the Ripper had found another victim. The Second Mate ordered the messenger to summon the Captain and the Ship's Doctor.

The Ship's Doctor arrived first and examined the body. He quickly determined that she was dead and covered the body with towels and her robe. When the Captain arrived, the Dictor stopped him at the door and said, "You don't want to see this, Sir". "What happened" the Captain responded as he stepped back from the door. "Señora Blanco was apparently strabbed by a madman, but I can't tell what kind of weapon was used. I've never seen wounds like this before. It's just horrible."

Looking at the Second Mate, the Captain demanded "Who did this?"

The Second Mate responded " I don't know. The Junior Steward was standing guard outside when she started screaming. He entered the shower room and observed the killer who pushed him aside while fleeing the room. he was unable to get a good look at the killer. He quickly raised the alarm, but the woman was dead before the doctor arrived."

"Okay, I want Sam [the Junior Steward] secured until I can question him privately" the Captain replied.

The Doctor then interrupted with " Captain, I would like to have Dr. Lorenz look at the woman's body. He may be able to explain the unusual wounds inflicted."

"NO! I want this kept secret from everyone except the crew that already know what happened. I want the body moved and this room cleaned up before any of the other passengers wake up!"

Everyone looked at the Captain and responded "YES SIR!"

Looking at the doctor, the Captain asked " Was she raped?"

"No sir."
