TheWoWDBIf you find the orb in your bag or realize you did nothing with the quest yet, as I did, and realize you have no idea where to use the orb... you will need to return to the place where you got your abyssal seahorse mount and use it there (47,46)

In 6.1.0 this actually teleports you directly to the cave, and you have to swim back to the quest giver to turn the quest in and advance the quest line.
Use the orb right where you get the quest, it reveals another cave like the "Smuggler's Hole" at Gnaws Boneyard (No coords, mods not enabled yet in beta)

Description
I believe I've located the author of your note, friend. It would seem that he is in desperate need of attention if he is to survive. I shall attune one of my scrying orbs, that you might see him for yourself.
