"Albert Francis Makepeace Elliott was an unusual man for his time. The second son of a middling wealthy Bristol tobacco merchant he was a well educated man, and as a qualified physician could have made a decent living in any reasonable sized town in the country. Yet for reasons he preferred to keep to himself he’d chosen instead to offer his services to the government, and take his expertise to the far side of the world."

And so Chapter 2 gets under way, or rather is promoted from its original position of Chapter 5. It's surprising how often that kind of thing happens, at least it still surprises me, though I really ought to be used to it by now. His name might well change but I suspect his character could well play a leading role during the voyage, and that being so I felt it might be prudent to introduce him a little earlier than originally intended.
