Symzonia: Voyage of Discovery
·
Captain Adam Seaborn
58
The
day
was
passed
in
fishing,
and
in
collecting
turtles
and
terrapins,
for
sea
stock.
In
the
evening,
Mr.
Slim,
who
was
wide
awake
to
his
interest,
suggested
to
me
that
we
might
obtain
a
good
quantity
of
tortoise
shell
from
this
island,
as
the
turtles
brought
on
board
were
of
the
hawksbill
kind,
the
shell
of
which
sells
for
a
high
price.
I
gave
him
permission
to
land
the
following
day,
with
ten
men,
and
see
what
he
could
do
in
that
way.
The
next
morning
I
was
quite
sick,
in
consequence
of
the
heat,
and
of
my
disappointment
in
not
finding
an
inhabited
country,
after
encountering
so
many
hazards,
and
exerting
so
much
enterprise
and
perseverance.
Being
thus
compelled
to
remain
on
board,
I
permitted
Albicore
to
land
with
four
men,
to
ramble
along
shore,
and
see
if
he
could
make
any
discoveries.
In
the
evening
Slim
reported
that
he
had
not
been
able
to
effect
much,
owing
to
the
excessive
heat,
which
compelled
him,
with
his
party,
to
take
refuge
under
an
awning,
formed
with
the
boats'
sails,
for
full
half
the
day.
Albicore
stated
that
he
had
been
eight
or
ten
miles
along
the
shore,
but
had
seen
nothing
strange.
