Symzonia: Voyage of Discovery
·
Captain Adam Seaborn
130
I
was
petrified
with
confusion
and
shame,
on
hearing
my
race
thus
described
as
pestiferous
beings,
spreading
moral
disease
and
contamination
by
their
intercourse,
and
by
thus
seeing
all
my
hopes
of
unbounded
wealth
at
once
laid
prostrate;
and
I
did
not
recover
from
the
despondency
which
overwhelmed
me,
till
I
recollected
that
Mr.
Boneto
would
no
doubt
have
a
full
cargo
of
seal
skins
ready
against
my
return
to
Seaborn's
Land,
which
would
ensure
me
a
handsome
fortune.
Any
attempt
to
dissuade
the
Best
Man
from
his
purpose,
or
to
obtain
a
revocation
of
the
decree,
I
knew
would
be
altogether
vain.
I
therefore
endeavoured
to
soften
the
judgment
he
had
formed
of
the
externals,
by
representing
the
books,
from
which
the
Wise
men
and
himself
had
drawn
their
opinions,
to
be
the
works
of
the
islanders
whom
I
had
described
to
him
as
the
supposed
descendants
of
the
Belzubians,
and
that
they
were
only
re-printed
in
my
country
as
they
had
been
in
his;
that
we
professed
to
be
much
more
enlightened
than
those
islanders,
and
styled
ourselves
emphatically
the
most
enlightened
people
on
the
face
of
the
earth,
by
which
we
meant
no
disrespect
to
the
Symzonians,
the
face
of
the
earth
being
the
outside
of
it
only,
and
we
were
not
sufficiently
enlightened,
when
the
declaration
was
made,
to
know
that
there
existed
any
such
people;
and
that
there
were
many
people
amongst
us
who
would
eagerly
emulate
the
purity
and
goodness
of
the
Symzonians,
could
they
but
have
the
benefit
of
their
example,
and
behold
the
happiness
which
attended
their
course
of
life.
I
specified
one
numerous
class
in
particular,
who
were
remarkable
for
simplicity
of
habits,
active
benevolence,
and
good
will
towards
mankind.
