Symzonia: Voyage of Discovery
·
Captain Adam Seaborn
65
But
here
I
experienced
a
mortifying
instance
of
the
vanity
of
human
pretensions,
however
well
they
may
appear
to
be
founded.
The
stranger,
although
she
did
not
appear
to
have
half
as
much
sail
in
proportion
to
her
hull
as
the
Explorer,
went
within
four
points
of
the
wind
so
rapidly,
that
in
two
hours
she
could
not
be
seen
from
the
mast
head.
I
was
now
at
a
loss
how
to
proceed.
The
strange
sail
was
standing
about
N.
W.
when
first
seen,
but
she
might
be
outward
bound,
and
in
that
case,
by
steering
that
course
we
should
miss
the
desired
land;
on
the
other
hand,
the
course
we
had
been
steering
might
carry
us
to
the
northward
of
our
object,
and
pursuing
the
vessel
in
the
direction
in
which
she
was
last
seen
might
lead
to
an
equally
unfortunate
result.
Will
Mackerel
was
of
opinion,
that
the
Internals,
on
seeing
so
strange
a
looking
vessel
as
ours,
would
run
for
the
nearest
land,
and
that
we
ought
to
follow
her.
I
resolved
at
last
to
steer
S.
E.
for
two
days,
and
if
not
successful,
to
return
to
the
same
place,
and
steer
two
days
to
the
N.
W.
There
proved
to
be
no
occasion
for
so
much
trouble;
for
at
the
moment
I
had
decided
what
to
do,
the
lookout
at
the
mast
head
called
out
'land
ho!'
The
sun
was
now
just
setting,
which
immediately
brought
on
the
darkest
period
of
the
night;
and
some
heavy
black
clouds
occasioned
by
the
vicinity
of
the
land,
threatened
stormy
weather.
We
therefore
stood
back
upon
our
track,
to
wait
the
return
of
bright
light,
that
I
might
approach
the
inhabited
country
of
the
Internal
World
for
the
first
time
under
favour
of
the
brightest
smile
of
heaven.
