Answer:
Horrible smell
Explanation:
It says in the text; 'I was soon put down under the decks, and there I received such a greeting in my nostrils as I had never experienced in my life; so that, with the loathsomeness of the stench, and crying together, I became so sick and low that I was not able to eat, nor had I the least desire to taste anything'
and therefore he is welcomed with a foul stench
