First off, theyre mermaids, a lot of people would be freaking out at that. Mermaids being cursed isnt that far fetched an idea when mermaids themselves dont exist but suddenly appear on your ship. Hes a sailor, and a sailor of over 20 years hears a lot of stories. Hes superstitous enough to try and prevent them from being taken on board. I assume he attacks John Naples while hes carrying one of the mermaids down to the Lazarette to prevent them from doing so, otherwise, youre right, it doesnt make any kind of sense to arbitrarily kill a random Seaman. He does this out of desparation, as he believes it will doom them all.

Finally, when hes in the lazarette, I cant speak to a mans intention, but him being on a doomed ship, stuck in a room with cursed mermaids, he probably wanted to get out of there as fast as possible or find something to kill the mermaids. He escapes his binds and then searches the room for means of escape, with the only object there being the chest, so he searches it and curiously finds the shell, which he picks up and kills him.
