Symzonia: Voyage of Discovery
·
Captain Adam Seaborn
139
These
manuscripts
were
the
only
articles
that
I
brought
away
from
Symzonia,
except
the
handful
of
pearls
given
to
me
by
the
pearl-wash
maker,
which,
being
concealed
in
my
breeches
pocket,
and
the
fact
of
my
possessing
them
being
known
only
to
the
workman,
I
thought
I
might
venture
to
smuggle,
notwithstanding
the
Best
Man's
confidential
reliance
on
my
integrity.
This
deviation
from
what
was
expected
of
me,
will,
I
trust,
be
excused
by
my
external
friends,
when
they
remember
that
I
have
been
much
addicted
to
commerce,
and
consider
the
force
of
habit,
and
the
security
with
which
the
operation
could
be
performed.
Soon
after
our
arrival
at
Token
Island,
the
sun
was
visible
for
a
short
interval
at
noon,
nearly
over
head.
The
remainder
of
the
twenty-four
hours
we
had
a
very
bright
light
from
the
reflection
of
the
sun
and
moon
from
the
rim
of
the
polar
opening.
Both
those
luminaries
being
now
in
the
equator,
their
rays
fell
perpendicularly
upon
the
rim
of
the
opening,
and
being
bent
in
by
refraction,
were
visible
at
Token
Island
at
noon.
This
direct
and
constant
influence
of
the
sun,
the
reflected
rays
being
very
powerful,
rendered
it
very
hot,
early
as
it
was
in
the
season.
Therefore,
as
I
was
eager
and
impatient
to
rejoin
Mr.
Boneto
and
his
party,
and
to
ascertain
what
success
he
had
had
in
sealing,
as
well
as
to
have
several
months
of
light,
that
my
whole
crew
might,
if
necessary,
be
employed
to
complete
a
lading
for
the
ship,
we
stayed
but
twenty
days
at
Token
Island.
In
this
time
we
procured
a
considerable
quantity
of
tortoise
shell,
and
then
proceeded
direct
for
Seaborn's
Land.
