Symzonia: Voyage of Discovery
·
Captain Adam Seaborn
138
Here
it
may
be
well
to
explain
the
cause
of
the
astonishing
velocity
of
the
Symzonian
vessels,
which
enabled
the
one
we
had
seen
on
approaching
the
coast
to
avoid
us
so
easily.
It
appears
that
the
Symzonians,
in
ancient
times,
apprehensive
that
the
Belzubians
might
send
armed
ships
to
the
coast
to
capture
their
vessels
and
carry
away
their
people,
devised
a
plan
for
accelerating
their
motion,
by
means
of
a
number
of
tubes
which
perforated
the
after
part
of
the
vessel
under
water,
through
which
air
was
forced
with
extreme
violence
by
the
agency
of
a
curious
engine,
of
which
I
could
not
obtain
a
particular
description.
This
rush
of
air
against
the
water
forces
the
vessel
forward
with
amazing
rapidity.
Every
vessel
going
far
from
the
coast
must
be
furnished
with
one
of
these
engines,
but
they
are
used
only
on
emergencies.
The
wreck
of
the
vessel
I
had
seen
on
Token
Island
was
not
of
Symzonian
construction,
and
the
metal
with
which
it
was
fastened
was
unknown
in
that
country.
It
was
the
opinion
of
the
Wise
men
that
it
must
have
been
of
Belzubian
origin,
for
that
people
sometimes
extended
their
voyages
to
Token
Island
to
obtain
turtles,
which
they
eat.
On
the
passage
to
Token
Island
I
had
very
interesting
employment
in
examining
my
Symzonian
literary
treasures,
and
in
extracting
and
translating
some
of
the
most
remarkable
articles.
The
volumes
which
I
had
been
permitted
to
bring
away
comprised
a
full
account
of
all
the
science
and
useful
knowledge
of
Symzonia;
and
in
consequence
of
having
this
copious
fountain
to
draw
from,
at
pleasure,
I
had
less
occasion
to
depend
on
my
written
memoranda
of
the
many
curious
and
interesting
facts
and
circumstances
which
fell
under
my
observation
whilst
on
shore.
