Symzonia: Voyage of Discovery
·
Captain Adam Seaborn
47
All
fears
of
the
consequences
of
wintering
in
this
region
were
now
done
away.
Where
trees
could
live,
I
could
live.
I
determined
to
erect
a
secure
establishment
for
my
sealing
party,
and
pursue
my
discoveries
as
far
as
practicable.
While
the
wood-cutting
was
going
on,
I
did
not
venture
far
from
the
river--I
had
not
forgotten
the
big
tracks.
I
was
always
on
shore
with
the
party,
to
be
ready
for
events,
taking
the
people
all
on
board
with
me
when
I
wanted
a
four
hours'
nap.
I
employed
myself
in
searching
for
curiosities,
collecting
geological,
mineralogical,
and
ornithological
specimens,
sea
fowl
and
land
birds
being
very
numerous
in
this
country,
and
in
gathering
plants
to
enrich
my
hortus
siccus,
for
the
benefit
of
the
learned
when
I
should
return
home.
My
researches
were
rewarded
by
the
discovery
of
some
enormous
bones,
possibly
of
a
whale,
which
being,
according
to
very
high
authority,
no
fish,
might
at
some
former
period
have
got
on
shore
in
this
high
latitude,
after
the
fashion
of
the
other
visitants
from
the
internal
world.
As
they
were
very
large,
I
called
them
mammoth
bones
of
course,
had
them
all
carefully
taken
on
board,
and
packed
in
boxes,
as
an
invaluable
acquisition
to
the
scientific
world.
On
the
third
day
a
cry
of
terror
called
my
attention.
I
saw
the
men
all
running
for
the
boats,
and
thought
it
best
to
follow
their
example.
We
had
all
got
into
the
boats,
and
shoved
off
into
deep
water,
before
I
could
ascertain
the
cause
of
the
alarm,
when
the
appearance
of
an
enormous
animal
on
the
ground
we
had
left
answered
my
inquiries.
The
huge
beast
walked
to
the
edge
of
the
water
at
a
moderate
pace,
and
stopped
to
survey
us
new
comers
with
great
composure.
I
ordered
Jack
Whiffle,
who
was
an
excellent
marksman,
to
give
him
a
shot
from
a
three-pounder,
mounted
in
the
bow
of
the
launch,
and
at
the
same
time
gave
him
a
volley
of
musketry.
Whether
the
shot
took
effect
or
not,
could
not
be
discovered.
He
returned
to
the
woods
without
haste
or
fright,
and
thus
deprived
me
of
the
pleasure
of
securing
his
skin
and
skeleton,
for
the
examination
of
the
learned,
and
the
benefit
of
Scudder's
Museum.
