In this context, crier has more a desperate tone IMO. It’s the hopeless plaint of the being knowing that the end came, and which surrenders to the absurdity of the situation, but doesn’t want to die alone.
I’m sorry, what? Did the French Navy euthanise the telegraphers? Why would they die? Didn’t they just decommission the usage of telegraphy in favour of more modern communication technologies?
They killed everybody who ever knew Morse, of course, in order to assure the fact that nobody will ever understand it again. It was a harsh decision, but understandable after the events of 1996.

That’s sad, but understandable. The French are scary, in an aspirational way.
