Symzonia: Voyage of Discovery
·
Captain Adam Seaborn
16
The
dry
white
tussoc
grass
of
preceding
years
hangs
round
the
top
of
the
bog
like
a
broad
frill;
while
the
fresh
green
growth,
which
waves
over
the
top
like
a
tuft
of
lofty
feathers,
gives
the
whole,
when
viewed
from
a
distance,
the
aspect
of
an
extensive
field
of
indian
corn.
The
root
of
the
fresh
tussoc
is
pleasant
to
the
palate,
being
much
like
the
meat
of
a
chestnut,
and
it
affords
an
abundance
of
excellent
feed
to
the
hogs,
that
enjoy
an
elysium
here.
Within
this
border
of
tussoc,
and
from
it
to
the
steep
ascent
of
the
mountains,
a
region
of
grass
intervenes,
which
has
the
appearance
of
a
rich
upland
meadow.
It
grows
about
knee
high,
and
extends
as
far
as
the
rise
of
the
land
is
moderate.
Beyond
it,
short
mountain
grass
and
a
few
heath
plants
are
found
contending
with
fragments
of
granite,
and
with
the
polar
blasts
to
which
the
lofty
summit
of
the
mountain
is
exposed.
It
was
delightful,
after
a
confinement
on
ship-board,
to
ramble
over
this
sequestered
and
pleasant
scene;
to
chase
the
wild
hogs
from
their
tussoc
covert
to
the
rising
grounds,
where
they
were
sure
victims
of
the
spear
or
the
bullet;
and
to
invade
from
above
the
retreats
of
the
gigantic
albatross,
in
the
cliffs
of
perpendicular
rocks,
a
thousand
feet
above
the
sea.
