Symzonia: Voyage of Discovery
·
Captain Adam Seaborn

CHAPTER
VI.
The
Author
departs
from
Token
Island,
in
search
of
an
internal
continent.--Wind,
weather,
and
other
phenomena
of
the
internal
seas.--Great
alarm
of
the
crew.--Discovery
of
an
inhabited
country.
We
were
soon
under
weigh
again,
and
steered
due
north,
as
well
to
seek
for
a
new
region
of
land,
as
to
get
into
a
more
temperate
climate;
it
being
obvious
that
the
internal
equator
must
correspond
in
phenomena
to
the
external
pole,
and
consequently
the
more
we
approached
the
former,
and
receded
from
the
latter,
the
cooler
we
should
find
the
weather.
Soon
after
leaving
the
island,
the
weather
became
exceedingly
unpleasant;
the
atmosphere
was
loaded
with
dense
black
clouds,
and
we
were
annoyed
with
torrents
of
rain,
together
with
very
vivid
lightning
and
heavy
thunder.
We
lay
to
the
greater
part
of
three
days,
thinking
it
imprudent
to
run
into
unexplored
seas
in
dark
weather.
The
fourth
day
it
brightened
up
a
little,
when
we
pushed
on
to
the
northward.
After
two
days
of
unsettled
weather,
we
were
favoured
with
a
fine
westerly
wind,
blowing
steady
and
pleasant
like
a
trade
wind,
which
continued
during
the
remainder
of
this
passage.
For
three
days
more
we
continued
steering
to
the
northward,
when
we
found
the
weather
delightfully
pleasant.
We
had
the
direct
rays
of
the
sun
nearly
one
fourth
part
of
the
time,
and
its
reflected
light
the
remainder.
This
last
was
the
most
pleasant,
being
something
between
sunshine
and
bright
moonlight,
without
the
glare
of
the
one
or
the
indistinctness
of
the
other.
Satisfied
with
the
climate,
I
determined
to
keep
in
it,
and
run
before
the
wind
due
east,
until
I
discovered
land,
or
circumnavigated
this
part
of
the
globe.
