Symzonia: Voyage of Discovery
·
Captain Adam Seaborn
63
I
was
accordingly
called
from
my
cabin
to
hear
this
wise
determination
of
my
people.
After
hearing
what
they
had
to
say,
I
asked
them
very
coolly,
how
they
intended
to
proceed
when
they
had
thrown
me
overboard?
There
was
no
one
of
them
who
could
determine
the
ship's
place,
who
had
a
sufficient
knowledge
of
astronomy
and
natural
philosophy,
to
account
for
the
extraordinary
phenomena
that
constantly
occurred,
or
who
had
skill
enough
to
ascertain
any
one
point
of
the
compass.
How
then
were
they
to
find
their
way
home
without
my
aid?
Perceiving
that
this
made
a
deep
impression
on
their
minds,
I
proceeded
to
dispel
their
fears,
by
assuring
them
that
I
felt
no
more
disposition
to
perish
in
a
sea
of
utter
darkness
than
they
did,
but
that
so
far
from
my
having
any
apprehension
of
such
an
event,
it
appeared
to
me
that
we
should
find
the
winter
in
that
region
much
more
pleasant
than
at
Seaborn's
Land,
if
we
could
but
discover
land
and
a
harbour,
where
we
could
moor
in
safety;
that
I
had
never
been
in
a
climate
so
perfectly
agreeable
to
my
feelings;
that
the
air
was
so
soft,
so
elastic,
and
temperate,
it
was
a
luxury
to
sit
still
and
inhale
the
sweet
breath
of
heaven;
that
so
far
from
being
in
haste
to
get
out
of
so
salubrious
a
climate,
I
should
be
glad
to
pass
my
days
in
it;
and,
at
all
events,
the
sun
would
be
no
further
north
after
the
expiration
of
a
month,
than
at
the
time
of
our
departure
from
Boneto's
station.
Finally,
I
told
them
that,
should
I
not
make
any
discovery
by
the
1st
of
January,
I
would
then
return
to
Seaborn's
Land,
where,
in
the
quarters
erected
for
Mr.
Boneto's
party,
we
could
all
winter
very
comfortably;
but,
on
the
other
hand,
should
they
persist
in
their
mutinous
course,
I
would
break
my
instruments,
throw
my
books
overboard,
and
leave
them
to
help
themselves
as
they
could.
