Key (borrowed) – a torn page from Dr. Barton’s journal, 1809.

 

Arrival – Late afternoon, appeared to be close to sunset, the weather was nice, the water was calm, and I assumed it to be late summer. Prior to our departure (since I knew our arrival would likely be on the ocean), Mr. Franklin had been covered and secured to a reflective raft. Upon arrival, which was indeed on the water, I stepped out from underneath Mr. Franklin’s cover and attached the raft to the frigate's ladder (thankfully we were close enough to do so). I then stood atop Mr. Franklin, maneuvered myself to the ladder, and climbed aboard. 

 

Scent/s – After sunset. Once on deck, the crew quickly gathered around me. I feigned amnesia and claimed to have been caught in the ship's ladder after falling overboard. One sailor laughed and said I must be a "lubber" (meaning an inexperienced sailor). I was then taken to see Dr. Barton who asked me countless questions and gave me a thorough examination. Before returning me to "my duties," Dr. Barton prepared a concoction of lemon and lime juice, which I was told would prevent scurvy. The liquid's fragrance reminded me of a sunny, warm island, so I did not hesitate to drink it. As a ploy to capture the uplifting scent, I told the doctor that I was a bit queasy and asked if I could continue to rest for a few minutes more. He agreed, poured me a cup of ginger tea, and left the room. Interestingly, the aroma of ginger merged with the lemon and lime, and created a smell more akin to a mixed cocktail; a scent that was most appealing.  [ Custom-coated fabric (SX1) collected the scent in 4 minutes, 12 seconds (conditions: cool and damp). ]
