Symzonia: Voyage of Discovery
·
Captain Adam Seaborn
140
It
was
so
early
in
the
season
that
the
temperature
of
the
air
changed
rapidly,
as
we
issued
from
the
internal
cavity,
and
approached
the
polar
region
of
the
external
world.
On
the
first
of
October,
we
experienced
cold
disagreeable
weather,
with
slight
falls
of
sleet
and
snow;
but
the
sun
was
constantly
above
the
horizon,
and
we
pursued
our
course
without
delay.
October
2d,
we
saw
World's-end
Cape,
to
the
great
joy
of
all
on
board,
and
especially
of
Mr.
Slim,
who
could
scarcely
express
his
ecstacies.
The
following
day
we
anchored
in
the
harbour
off
Mr.
Boneto's
station,
which,
out
of
compliment
to
him,
I
named
Boneto's
Harbour.
We
found
the
buildings,
stores,
and
a
large
quantity
of
seal-skins
carefully
stacked,
all
in
good
condition,
but
no
person
on
the
island.
I
was
immediately
denominated
a
murderer,
my
men
being
certain
that
the
whole
party
had
been
frozen
to
death,
or
that
the
mammoth
animals
had
crossed
on
the
ice
during
winter,
and
destroyed
them
all,
so
ready
are
seamen
to
put
the
worst
construction
on
every
thing,
and
to
censure
their
commander.
Slim
was
"nothing
loth"
to
forward
this
idea,
a
sight
of
the
great
quantity
of
valuable
furs
in
which
he
was
to
share
in
no
degree
softening
his
malignity.
As
there
were
no
dead
bodies,
bones,
or
boats,
to
be
seen,
I
was
not
alarmed
for
the
safety
of
the
men,
and
had
no
doubt
but
they
were
absent
on
a
sealing
excursion.
The
appearance
of
the
boats
under
sail
soon
confirmed
my
opinion.
We
were
presently
joined
by
Mr.
Boneto,
who,
with
his
party,
had
passed
the
winter
very
comfortably.
