Symzonia: Voyage of Discovery
·
Captain Adam Seaborn
118
That
these
islanders
were
a
distinct
people,
who
were
regardless
of
the
rights
of
others,
being
governed
by
cupidity,
whereby
they
had
become
detestable
to
all
the
rest
of
the
externals,
and
to
my
nation
in
particular,
to
so
great
a
degree,
that
our
Wise
men
(who
have
the
control
in
the
government,
the
Good
and
Useful
being
held
in
but
little
estimation
by
the
wise
and
the
useless
in
my
country)
had
repeatedly
ordained
a
non-intercourse,
in
the
vain
hope
of
bringing
these
supposed
descendants
of
the
Belzubians
to
a
sense
of
justice;
and
that
we
were
at
this
time
only
secure
from
their
attacks,
by
an
invention
for
blowing
them
into
the
air,
if
they
ventured
to
assail
our
shores;
that
the
book
which
had
misled
the
Wise
man
was
written
by
one
of
this
people,
and
had
no
reference
to
my
country.
Before
I
had
completed
my
work
to
my
satisfaction,
I
received
the
agreeable
intelligence,
that
the
Best
Man,
supported
by
all
the
Good
and
most
of
the
Useful
of
his
council,
had
ordered
the
name
of
the
Wise
man
who
made
the
proposition,
to
be
erased
from
the
list
of
Worthies,
as
a
cruel
monster,
for
seriously
proposing
the
infliction,
upon
strangers
who
had
voluntarily
thrown
themselves
upon
the
hospitality
of
the
country,
of
penalties
enacted
only
to
render
the
consequences
of
the
return
of
the
outcasts
too
frightful
to
be
encountered
by
them.
This
was
the
only
unpleasant
occurrence
during
my
stay.
The
days
flew
on
with
astonishing
rapidity,
so
agreeably
were
they
passed.
The
Symzonians
slept
but
about
three
hours
in
the
four-and-twenty,
and
considered
me
a
very
gross
and
sluggish
being
because
I
could
not
do
without
six
hours
sleep.
With
the
exception
of
this
short
interval,
every
moment
was
occupied
in
conversation,
study,
observation,
or
amusement.
Statistics,
geography,
botany,
ærology,
geology,
mineralogy,
zoology,
ornithology,
ichthiology,
conchology,
and
entomology,
in
turn
demanded
and
received
my
attention.
