Symzonia: Voyage of Discovery
·
Captain Adam Seaborn
57
Happily,
day
soon
appeared,
and
we
ran
in
with
the
land,
keeping
a
good
look-out,
and
the
leads
constantly
going.
On
nearing
the
coast,
we
found
the
shore
to
be
low
and
sandy.
The
body
of
the
land,
however,
was
high,
with
one
towering
peak
far
inland.
Near
the
sea
it
appeared
to
be
extremely
barren,
but
some
miles
back,
scattered
clumps
of
trees,
and
some
appearances
of
verdure,
afforded
a
more
cheering
prospect.
We
explored
the
coast
of
this
island,
for
such
it
proved
to
be,
for
two
days,
before
we
found
anchorage,
or
a
safe
landing
place.
A
very
heavy
surf
rolled
on
shore,
and
broke
high
on
the
shoals,
which
were
frequent,
and
in
some
places
three
miles
off
the
coast,
so
as
to
make
it
dangerous
to
approach.
At
length
we
found
a
safe
road,
sheltered
by
a
sand
bank
above
water,
about
two
miles
long,
lying
parallel
with
the
shore,
half
a
league
from
it.
There
was
a
fair
passage,
with
15
fathoms
water,
and
good
holding
ground.
Here
we
moored
to
the
great
joy
of
all
on
board,
who,
seeing
firm
land
with
living
things
of
some
kind
moving
about
upon
it,
felt
satisfied
that
they
were
still
in
the
sublunary
world,
and
complained
of
nothing
but
the
excessive
heat.
It
was
near
night
when
we
came
to
anchor;
all
further
research
was
therefore
deferred
until
the
next
day.
On
the
1st
December,
I
landed
for
the
first
time
on
terra
firma
of
the
internal
world,
but
was
greatly
disappointed,
I
must
confess,
to
find
no
indications
of
any
other
inhabitants
than
turtles,
terrapins
of
a
monstrous
size,
some
few
seals,
penguins,
and
numerous
sea
fowl.
The
great
number
of
turtles
was
satisfactory
evidence
to
my
mind,
that
there
were
no
human
beings
on
the
island;
and,
after
a
short
walk
on
the
burning
sand,
I
returned
on
board,
quite
dejected.
