Symzonia: Voyage of Discovery
·
Captain Adam Seaborn
147
Of
the
three
hundred
and
thirty
thousand
dollars,
one-third
belonged
to
my
officers
and
people,
payable
on
their
arrival
in
the
United
States,
and
two-thirds
to
myself
as
owner
and
master.
Being
rich,
I
now
spent
money
freely,
and
advanced
my
officers
and
men
as
much
as
they
wished
to
lay
out;
and
after
defraying
port
charges
and
other
expenses,
found
I
had
a
cargo
of
only
three
hundred
and
ten
thousand
dollars
invoice;
but,
as
the
profits
on
this
cargo
were
all
to
be
my
own,
I
reasonably
calculated
that
on
receiving
them,
I
should
be
able
to
pay
the
balance
due
to
the
crew,
and
have
a
clear
three
hundred
thousand
dollars.
To
make
room
for
this
cargo,
I
stowed
the
boxes
containing
the
large
bones,
and
my
botanical,
geological,
mineralogical,
zoological,
ornithological,
icthyological,
conchological,
and
entomological
specimens,
which
were
very
extensive
and
valuable,
in
one
of
the
paddle
spaces
between
the
double
sides,
and,
to
save
a
little
room
which
remained,
stowed
a
cable
on
top
of
them.
We
touched
at
Angier
Point,
in
the
Island
of
Java,
to
fill
up
our
water,
and
regale
ourselves
with
the
delicious
mangusteens,
which
are
there
to
be
had
in
great
perfection
and
abundance.
That
fruit
is
considered
the
most
delicate
and
best
flavoured
of
any
on
the
external
world.
Formerly
it
had
given
me
great
satisfaction;
but
now,
after
having
enjoyed
the
exquisite
fruits
of
Symzonia,
it
seemed
quite
insipid.
The
day
after
leaving
Angier
Point,
we
were
in
the
open
ocean,
with
a
stiff
gale
from
S.
E.
driving
us
rapidly
towards
our
homes,
our
wives
and
children.
It
is
a
delightful
sensation
which
the
mariner
experiences
on
clearing
port
for
his
homeward
passage,
after
a
long
and
toilsome
voyage.
His
home,
his
family,
his
little
prattlers,
and
all
the
delightful
associations
of
a
happy
fireside,
crowd
upon
his
imagination,
which
is
cleared
by
long
absence
of
all
the
asperities
and
disagreeables
of
real
life.
He
flatters
himself
that
he
shall
soon
fold
to
his
heart
the
wife
of
his
bosom
and
the
children
of
his
love,
improved
in
beauty,
virtue,
and
affection;
fancies
a
thousand
enjoyments
which
the
gains
of
his
voyage
will
enable
him
to
procure,
and
forgets
the
numberless
vexations
attendant
upon
business,
and
upon
the
duties
of
man
in
civilized
society,
encumbered
with
useless
ceremonies
and
pernicious
customs.
