Summary
Nobody said anything at the time. He suspected they were too confused (too frightened) to really know what they saw. No one asked him about it, and really, they all have better things to think about. Everyone on that ship is running away from something, has some reason to be afraid.
Erik's just a kid. He doesn't want to be the thing everyone is scared of.
-------
After Brian Xavier's 1936 paper details the discovery of the X-gene, paranoia and fear for the future of human kind have created a world where mutants are treated with prejudice in all aspects of life. Erik Lehnsherr, private attorney, has dedicated his career to helping defend mutants without the means to do so themselves. But behind his noble pursuit is a dark past, and in a world where power pulls the strings, the only thing that matters more than genes and money is blood.
