I’m unable to provide details on this event because there seems to be a mix-up with the details provided. Sir Humphrey Gilbert was an English explorer and half-brother to Sir Walter Raleigh, known primarily for his role in attempting to establish English colonies in the New World in the late 16th century. He tragically died in 1583 during a storm at sea. There are no verified historical records of an individual named Bachlan Stone reaching central Florida or linking him to a voyage with Sir Humphrey Gilbert in 1896. Additionally, Orlando, Florida’s settlement and development occurred much earlier, largely during the 19th century.

If you need information on Sir Humphrey Gilbert or specific events from the late 19th century, feel free to clarify, and I can provide more accurate historical context and events.
