Symzonia: Voyage of Discovery
·
Captain Adam Seaborn
31
"But,
sir,"
rejoined
Mr.
Slim,
"if
this
'icy
hoop'
exists,
how
do
you
expect
to
pass
it?
or,
if
it
is
impassable,
what
use
is
there
in
encountering
the
risk
of
navigating
unknown
and
dangerous
seas,
in
a
high
and
boisterous
latitude?"
"I
mean,
sir,
to
ascertain
whether
it
be
passable
or
not.
I
think
it
probable
that
the
influence
of
the
summer
heat
may
so
far
weaken
it
as
to
admit
of
broad
openings
being
formed
by
the
pressure
of
wind
or
currents,
and
if
I
can
find
an
opening
of
but
a
mile
wide,
I
shall
dash
through
it,
at
all
hazards."
"And
a
pretty
condition
we
shall
be
in,
Capt.
Seaborn,
if
the
ice
closes
the
passage
after
we
have
dashed
through
it!"
replied
Mr.
Slim.
"We
shipped
with
you,
sir,
for
a
sealing
voyage;
not
for
a
voyage
of
discovery."
"You
will
please
to
remember,
Mr.
Slim,
that
I
am
expressly
authorized
by
the
articles,
to
cruize
and
seek
for
seals
wheresoever
I
may
judge
expedient
and
proper,
and
that
any
opposition
to
my
authority
will
involve
the
forfeiture
of
your
share--recollect
that,
Mr.
Slim."
