Symzonia: Voyage of Discovery
·
Captain Adam Seaborn
17
On
the
second
day
we
landed
a
sealing
party
of
thirty
men,
under
the
command
of
Mr.
Boneto,
chief
mate,
on
the
Jason
Islands,
which
are
similar
in
their
formation
to
those
I
have
described.
Intending
to
join
this
party
myself
with
the
launch,
and
being
apprehensive
that
if
I
left
the
Explorer
in
West
Point
harbour,
with
but
a
few
men
on
board,
some
Patriot
pirate
might
look
into
that
much
frequented
place,
and,
tempted
by
the
value
of
my
vessel
and
her
defenceless
situation,
deem
it
patriotic
to
take
her
away
to
aid
the
cause
of
liberty,
and
leave
me
to
explore
my
way
home
in
my
boats,
I
proceeded
with
her
to
the
deep
and
intricate
inlet
of
the
sea,
called
States
harbour.
This
spacious,
convenient,
and
secure
harbour,
second
to
none
on
the
face
of
the
globe,
is
one
of
the
indications
that
Providence
formed
this
group
of
Islands
for
the
abode
of
an
enlightened
and
maritime
people.
From
a
spacious
and
deep
bay,
in
which
the
whole
navy
of
Britain
might
moor
in
safety,
a
cove
jets
into
the
land
on
the
left;
and
on
one
side
of
the
cove
there
is
an
opening
through
the
land
like
a
dock-gate,
with
perpendicular
sides
of
solid
rock,
against
which
a
ship
of
the
line
might
lie
with
safety,
as
against
a
pier.
Passing
through
this
opening,
a
harbour
is
found,
extending
at
right
angles
with
the
passage
nearly
two
miles
in
length,
and
about
one-eighth
of
a
mile
in
width.
At
one
end
of
this
interior
basin,
a
large
stream
of
fresh
water
empties
into
it;
at
the
mouth
of
which
fine
fish
in
great
quantities
are
easily
taken
in
the
spring,
and
on
its
banks,
as
also
on
those
of
numerous
smaller
streams,
celery
of
an
excellent
kind
grows
spontaneously.
The
shores
of
this
basin
rise
with
a
very
gentle
ascent.
They
are
not
exposed
to
the
winds
of
the
open
ocean,
and
are
not
much
encumbered
with
tussoc.
There
is
no
high
land
near.
Thousands
of
acres,
well
watered
and
covered
with
grass
fit
for
hay,
exhibit
the
prospect
of
a
succession
of
well-cultivated
meadows.
There
are
plenty
of
hogs
on
the
island
which
forms
this
harbour.
Geese,
as
good
as
our
wild
geese,
are
very
abundant.
We
caught
them
with
ease,
and
in
great
plenty.
