Symzonia: Voyage of Discovery
·
Captain Adam Seaborn
112
When
this
terrific
engine
was
completed,
Fultria
proposed
to
exterminate
the
enemy
at
once;
whereupon
all
the
Good
and
many
of
the
Wise
men
objected
to
so
barbarous
a
proceeding.
They
contended
that
it
would
be
contrary
to
the
practice
of
civilized
nations,
and
taking
an
unjustifiable
advantage
of
the
enemy,
by
using
means
of
warfare
not
resorted
to
by
civilized
men,
and
not
much
better
than
poisoning
them
secretly.
They
could
not
consent
to
such
unheard
of
barbarity;
at
best
it
was
justifying
the
means
by
the
end,
and
doing
evil
that
good
might
come;
but
it
was
better
to
suffer
wrong
than
to
do
wrong.
Fultria,
on
hearing
these
objections
to
the
use
of
the
means
of
emancipation
which
he
had
provided
with
so
much
labour
and
ingenuity,
ascended
the
platform,
and
addressed
the
Best
Man
in
Council
in
defence
of
his
engine
and
his
views.
I
found
his
speech
on
record,
it
having
been
carefully
preserved,
notwithstanding
the
lapse
of
many
centuries.
I
translated
it
with
the
aid
of
Surui,
but
our
language
is
not
sufficiently
nervous
to
convey
the
sentiments
of
this
enlightened
man
with
the
energy
and
conciseness
of
the
original
language.
I
endeavoured
to
put
down
the
substance
of
it
in
English,
but
it
cannot
be
expected
that
a
sailor
should
do
such
justice
to
a
fine
specimen
of
Symzonian
eloquence
as
might
be
done
by
some
of
our
professed
belles
lettres
scholars,
who
pass
their
lives
in
studying
the
arrangement
of
words
and
in
admiring
the
elegance
and
dignity
of
their
compositions.
