And that's how I met Doctor Newbury. It's a wonder he did not make me fly back to shore and go home on the spot! But he was kind and curious to a fault.

At first, I did not know what to make of his inquisitive nature. Usually I was the one asking questions! Little did I know how much of a spectacle I would become to those I had yet to meet.

The crew took to me well enough, I suppose. I began to wonder if Mr. Whitten would ever adjust to me!
