Once aboard the ship, Count Orlok begins to pick one sailor off after another, until only the Captain and his first-mate remain alive.
Sensing foul-play, the first-mate disappears below deck to open the coffins and is confronted by Orlok, and makes for an escape. He makes it to the deck and retreating in horror, falls overboard into the sea.
I'd like to think a first mate would know where the edge of a ship was, even if he is being stalked by the undead!
It's a bit short, isn't it?
Very short
a) His role in the film is small, and his death occurs quite fast compared to the rest of the deaths in the film.
b) Instead of just copy+pasting most of the text from the other deaths I just tried to keep it all original.
Oh well, poor Matrose.
