Symzonia: Voyage of Discovery
·
Captain Adam Seaborn
102
I
spoke
of
our
skill
in
arms,
in
hopes
to
excite
his
admiration;
of
the
invention
of
gunpowder;
of
fleets
of
ships
for
the
transportation
of
armies
to
invade
the
countries
of
our
enemies,
and
contend
in
naval
fight
for
the
right
of
navigating
the
ocean.
This
was
the
most
unhappy
subject
I
had
yet
touched
upon.
Instead
of
exciting
his
admiration,
I
found
it
difficult
to
convince
him
that
my
account
was
true,
for
he
could
not
conceive
it
possible
that
beings
in
outward
form
so
much
like
himself,
could
be
so
entirely
under
the
influence
of
base
and
diabolical
passions,
as
to
make
a
science
of
worrying
and
destroying
each
other,
like
the
most
detestable
reptiles.
I
felt
a
strong
desire
to
draw
directly
from
the
fountain
head
of
knowledge
in
this
country,
immediate
information
on
a
variety
of
subjects
relating
to
the
condition,
sentiments,
and
knowledge
of
this
remarkable
people,
but
did
not
think
it
decorous
to
question
so
exalted
a
character
in
this
my
first
interview.
I
therefore
limited
myself
to
a
demand
to
be
permitted
to
moor
my
vessel
in
a
secure
place
in
the
river,
and
remain
until
the
return
of
the
next
summer's
sun
should
render
my
return
to
the
external
world
perfectly
practicable.
I
had
but
to
explain
the
danger
to
which
we
should
all
be
exposed,
of
perishing
by
cold
on
the
passage,
if
I
attempted
to
make
it
so
late
in
the
season,
to
obtain
from
the
benevolent
Best
Man
the
desired
permission
to
winter
there;
and
orders
were
accordingly
given
to
admit
the
Explorer
into
a
river,
and
moor
her
in
a
place
assigned
for
that
purpose,
but
under
an
express
stipulation
that
no
person
should
land,
or
have
any
communication
with
the
people,
unless
officially
authorized
by
the
Best
Man's
orders,
under
the
strict
inspection
of
confidential
Efficients.
Enough
had
been
already
discovered
of
our
sentiments
and
habits,
to
convince
the
Best
Man
that
a
free
communication
with
my
people
would
endanger
the
morals
and
happiness
of
his.
