Through his narratives, Auldjo captures the vibrant landscapes, people, and experiences he encountered, providing readers with insights into the sights and societal dynamics of the era. At the start of the journal, Auldjo prepares for departure aboard H.M.S. Actæon, detailing the emotional farewells at the port of Naples amid a stormy setting. He describes the crew and their camaraderie, as well as their collective excitement for the journey ahead. The narrative flows as he recounts their experiences at sea, with highlights including their passing under the cliffs of Capri and the majestic sight of Stromboli, while also addressing the challenges of sea sickness and interactions among the crew.
