Symzonia: Voyage of Discovery
·
Captain Adam Seaborn
32
"I
do
recollect
that,
sir;
but
at
the
same
time
I
know,
Capt.
Seaborn,
that
you
have
no
right
to
hazard
all
our
lives,
by
running
into
dangers,
greater
than
were
ever
encountered
by
human
beings,
to
gratify
your
mad
passion
for
discovery,
instead
of
pursuing
the
interest
of
all
concerned,
by
endeavouring
to
find
seals
in
the
usual
manner.
How
will
you
justify
yourself
to
the
world,
to
our
families,
or
to
your
own
conscience,
if
we
should,
after
effecting
a
passage
through
this
'icy
hoop'
you
speak
of,
find
it
closed
against
our
return,
and
be
thus
forever
lost
to
our
wives,
our
children,
and
society?
We
must
in
such
a
case
all
perish,
and
our
blood
would
be
upon
your
head."
A
plague
upon
your
lean
carcass,
thought
I,
how
am
I
to
answer
so
many
impertinent
questions.
I
could
not
tell
him
of
my
belief
of
open
poles,
affording
a
practicable
passage
to
the
internal
world,
and
of
my
confident
expectations
of
finding
comfortable
winter
quarters
inside;
for
he
would
take
that
as
evidence
of
my
being
insane,
and
by
means
of
it
persuade
the
crew
to
dispossess
me
of
my
command,
and
confine
me
to
my
cabin
for
the
remainder
of
the
voyage.
After
knitting
my
brows
a
short
time,
I
replied,
"Mr.
Slim,
you
are
a
sufficiently
capable
officer,
and
can
get
through
with
your
duty
well
enough
when
you
choose
to
do
it,
but
you
don't
know
every
thing;
your
mind
is
too
dense
to
admit
the
rays
of
intelligence.
I
would
have
you
to
know,
Sir,
that
I
command
this
ship,
and
am
not
to
be
thwarted
or
dictated
to
by
any
man.
I
have
noticed
your
rebellious
spirit;
now
mark
me,
Sir,
so
sure
as
I
have
any
more
of
your
opposition
to
my
will,
or
bear
any
more
of
your
murmuring;
the
moment
I
detect
you
in
uttering
one
discouraging
word
in
the
hearing
of
any
of
my
officers
or
men,--I
will
confine
you,
and
carry
you
home
in
irons,
to
take
your
trial
for
conspiring
to
make
a
revolt
in
the
ship,
which
is
death
by
the
law;
remember
that,
and
go
to
your
duty,
Sir."
