Symzonia: Voyage of Discovery
·
Captain Adam Seaborn
33
Slim
had
some
prudence,
and
was
a
great
lover
of
pelf;
he
did
not
relish
the
idea
of
forfeiting
his
share;
he
kept
his
tongue
between
his
teeth;
but
his
lank,
expressive
features
spoke
horrible
things.
This
comes
of
taking
more
officers
than
there
is
duty
for,
thought
I,
as
he
left
the
cabin;
that
fellow
will
give
me
trouble
enough
before
I
get
rid
of
him;
there
is
nothing
like
constant
hard
work
to
keep
men
out
of
mischief.
But
I
had
not
much
time
for
reflection,
for
Will
Mackerel,
my
fourth
mate,
whose
birth
adjoined
my
cabin,
had
overheard
all
that
passed
in
my
interview
with
Slim,
and
as
soon
as
he
was
out
of
the
way
bolted
into
my
cabin,
without
much
ceremony.
Will
was
a
hearty,
frank,
thorough
bred
sailor;
doffing
his
hat
to
his
commander
was
the
only
point
of
etiquette
he
was
acquainted
with,
and
he
thought
it
degrading
to
perform
that
ceremony
to
any
other
person.
Will
reverenced
his
commander
when
he
found
him
to
be
a
good
sailor,
a
skilful
navigator,
and
a
kind
hearted
man.
He
commenced
with,
"Captain
Seaborn,
that
fellow's
insolence
is
unsufferable;
he
has
spoken
more
mutiny
to
your
face,
in
your
own
cabin,
in
ten
minutes,
than
all
the
rest
of
the
ship's
company
would
dare
to
think
of,
in
the
forecastle,
the
whole
voyage.
I
would
not
give
a
rope
yarn
for
a
sailor
who
would
not
go
wherever
the
captain
had
courage
to
lead
the
way.
I
would
not
put
up
with
it;
there
is
but
one
Slim
in
the
ship,
and
we'll
heave
him
overboard,
if
you
say
the
word;
at
least,
I'd
clap
the
ruffles
[1]
on
him,
and
keep
him
out
of
harm's
way
the
rest
of
the
voyage."
