Symzonia: Voyage of Discovery
·
Captain Adam Seaborn
55
The
re-appearance
of
the
stars,
and
the
refreshing
coolness
of
the
night
air
delighted
my
people.
At
daylight
we
made
sail,
and
set
the
paddles
in
motion.
At
noon
we
had
the
sun
nearly
overhead,
and
the
declination
being
20°
5´
S.
Slim
was
positive
that
we
were
in
latitude
28°
S.
and
wondered
why
the
compass
would
not
traverse.
The
next
day
we
had
a
vertical
sun,
as
I
had
predicted,
and
the
weather
as
warm
as
I
had
ever
known
it
at
sea,
with
a
fine
breeze.
No
one
knew
which
way
we
were
steering
but
myself;
and
Slim's
opinion
confidently
expressed
that
we
were
near
the
equator,
and
must
soon
make
the
continent
of
Asia,
Africa,
America,
or
the
Asiatic
islands,
served
to
quiet
the
apprehensions
of
the
men
for
their
own
safety,
and
at
the
same
time
to
awaken
their
solicitude
for
the
situation
of
Mr.
Boneto's
party,
whom
they
said
I
had
barbarously
left
to
perish
by
the
frosts
of
a
polar
winter,
on
Seaborn's
Land.
The
next
day
we
observed
the
sun
to
the
south
of
us,
and
nearly
over
head,
and
the
compass
began
to
traverse
imperfectly.
We
had
a
regular
recurrence
of
day
and
night,
though
the
latter
was
very
short,
which
I
knew
was
occasioned
by
the
rays
of
the
sun
being
obstructed
by
the
rim
of
the
earth,
when
the
external
side
of
the
part
we
were
on
turned
towards
the
sun.
The
nights
were
not
dark,
when
no
clouds
intervened
to
obstruct
the
rays
of
the
sun,
reflected
from
the
opposite
rim,
and
from
a
large
luminous
body
northward,
in
the
internal
heavens,
which
reflected
the
sun
as
our
moon
does,
and
which
I
judged
to
be
the
second
concentric
sphere,
according
to
Capt.
Symmes.
This
gave
us
very
pleasant
nights,
but
not
quite
clear
enough
to
render
sailing
through
untried
seas
entirely
safe.
