Symzonia: Voyage of Discovery
·
Captain Adam Seaborn
60
After
two
hours
we
reached
the
place
which
Mr.
Albicore
had
spoken
of,
where
I
found
part
of
the
frame
of
a
vessel
of
some
sort,
of
about
one
hundred
tons
burthen,
the
form
of
which
satisfied
me
that
it
was
no
drift
from
the
external
world.
The
stem
raked
inwards,
instead
of
out,
as
we
construct
them,
giving
the
forward
part
of
the
vessel
the
form
of
a
double
ploughshare;
while
the
broad
bulging
sides
were
admirably
adapted
to
make
the
vessel
sit
firm
on
the
water,
and
prevent
her
oversetting.
But
the
most
singular
part
was
a
piece
of
planking,
which
remained
attached
to
the
frame,
and
which
was
actually
sewed
on
with
a
white
elastic
wire,
resembling
in
appearance
platina,
more
than
any
metal
known
to
us.
I
extracted
some
small
pieces
of
this
singular
metal,
and
with
it
fired
the
imagination
of
my
people,
by
representing
to
them
the
enormous
wealth
we
should
acquire,
could
we
obtain
a
cargo
of
it
to
carry
to
our
country,
where
it
would
be
more
valuable
than
silver;
and
that
the
use
to
which
it
was
applied
was
sufficient
evidence
of
its
being
abundant
where
this
vessel
was
built.
I
named
this
island,
which
was
in
81°
20'
internal
south
latitude,
Token
Island,
considering
its
discovery
as
a
token
or
premonition
of
some
great
things
to
come.
