Symzonia: Voyage of Discovery
·
Captain Adam Seaborn
145
All
assented
to
my
proposal
except
Mr.
Slim,
who
objected
that
an
extra-judicial
oath
would
not
be
binding,
that
it
would
be
a
dereliction
of
duty
on
my
part
to
withhold
from
mankind
the
knowledge
of
the
most
valuable
part
of
the
world,
and
finally,
that
he
was
principled
against
taking
oaths.
Slim
was
not
open
to
persuasion.
There
was
no
moving
him.
He
had
gloated
his
imagination
with
the
figure
he
should
cut
when,
in
consequence
of
having
been
an
officer
with
me
on
this
voyage,
he
should
get
command
of
a
ship
for
a
voyage
to
the
sea
of
wealth,
have
the
merchants
crowding
round
him
to
obtain
the
benefit
of
the
valuable
information
he
possessed,
and
hear
the
delightful
sound
of
'Captain
Slim.'
All
my
other
officers
and
men
took
the
prescribed
obligation,
whereby
they
bound
themselves
not
to
disclose
by
word,
deed,
writing,
or
sign,
any
of
the
discoveries
or
occurrences
of
this
voyage,
after
our
departure
from
off
South
Georgia,
without
my
consent
and
approbation
first
obtained
in
writing.
Slim's
conduct
was
thought
by
all
to
be
very
unreasonable,
and
many
of
the
men
would
willingly
have
thrown
him
overboard:
but,
with
some
difficulty,
I
pacified
them,
and
persuaded
them
that
Slim
would
think
better
of
the
matter
before
we
reached
Canton,
if
not,
I
would,
while
there,
confine
him
to
his
state-room,
and
prevent
his
doing
mischief,
in
the
hope
that
he
would
become
more
rational
on
the
homeward
passage.
This
important
matter
settled,
we
bore
up
for
Canton.
