Symzonia: Voyage of Discovery
·
Captain Adam Seaborn
37
While
this
was
going
on,
I
swept
the
horizon
with
my
spy
glass,
and
soon
discovered
in
the
S.
W.
directly
to
wind-ward,
a
low
range
of
broken
land.
The
moment
I
fixed
my
glass
upon
it,
every
eye
was
turned
in
that
direction:
some
sprang
into
the
rigging,
some
ran
to
the
mast
head,
and
the
joyful
cry
of
land
ho!
land!
dispelled
the
mutinous
disposition
of
the
crew.
Sixty-five
fathoms,
soft
ooze,
was
the
report
of
soundings;
a
delightful
indication
of
an
extensive
body
of
land,
with
large
rivers
depositing
their
sediment
on
the
bottom
of
the
deep.
We
soon
approached,
and
observed
the
coast
to
range
about
S.
E.
and
N.
W.
as
far
as
the
eye
could
reach
from
the
mast
head.
I
called
the
attention
of
my
officers
to
this
circumstance,
and
observed
to
them
that
the
broad
opening
which
we
had
found
in
the
'icy
hoop'
could
now
be
easily
accounted
for.
We
had
noticed
that
the
prevailing
wind
was
from
the
S.
W.
with
strong
gales,
the
influence
of
which
was
continually
forcing
the
ice
to
the
eastward;
but
this
body
of
land,
ranging
from
the
S.
E.
to
the
N.
W.
stopped
the
ice
to
the
westward
of
it,
while
that
to
the
eastward
was
driven
away,
leaving
a
clear
passage
to
leeward
of
the
land.
From
the
westerly
winds
prevailing
all
the
year
round,
this
must
always
be
the
case,
unless
the
'immutable
laws
of
matter
and
motion,'
and
the
relation
between
'cause
and
effect'
should
be
changed.
