Napoleonic Dread - Royal Navy Captain

Extract from the diary of captain Thomas Cochrane, on board of HMS Arab, 08. June 1803 "I do not like the task that has been assigned to me. It reeks of the Admiral's doings. We're at war again, and me and my ship would be of better use hunting French merchants! Instead, we are to take aboard and escort a civilian, an explorer and naturalist, no doubt to aid him on his quest to find and capture some small creature that the Royal Society has heard rumours of. Henry Slater is his name. What is peculiar though is that the good doctor even with his special connections was not able to find out anything about Mr. Slater. Either he is a nobody, or his real identity is intentionally kept a secret. I intend to press him on that. Not peculiar at all unfortunately is the goal of our expedition: some small rock off the coast of Portugal, far away from any trade lines and without any significance for the war effort. I expect two weeks of sizzling in the sun while Mr. Slater and no doubt the doctor explore the island." File also comes supported.
