Symzonia: Voyage of Discovery
·
Captain Adam Seaborn
66
After
a
few
hours
the
clouds
dispersed,
and
the
reflected
light
became
sufficiently
strong
to
enable
us
to
see
dangers
several
miles,
but
not
to
admit
of
a
clear
distant
view.
We
therefore
drew
slowly
in
with
the
land,
to
be
ready
to
run
in
to
the
nearest
harbour
during
the
next
interval
of
sunshine.
When
near
the
shore,
we
again
hove
to
with
the
ship's
head
off
shore.
With
my
night
glass
I
could
discern
buildings
and
moving
objects
on
the
land,
which
assured
me
that
the
country
was
inhabited.
I
walked
the
deck
with
impatient
yet
pleasing
anxiety.
I
was
about
to
reach
the
goal
of
all
my
wishes;
to
open
an
intercourse
with
a
new
world
and
with
an
unknown
people;
to
unfold
to
the
vain
mortals
of
the
external
world
new
causes
for
admiration
at
the
infinite
diversity
and
excellence
of
the
works
of
an
inscrutable
Deity;
to
give
to
them
fresh
motives
for
adoration,
and
hopes
of
continued
advancement
in
discovering
the
infinite
works
of
God.
My
imagination
became
fired
with
enthusiasm,
and
my
heart
elated
with
pride.
I
was
about
to
secure
to
my
name
a
conspicuous
and
imperishable
place
on
the
tablets
of
History,
and
a
niche
of
the
first
order
in
the
temple
of
Fame.
I
moved
like
one
who
trod
on
air;
for
whose
achievements
had
equalled
mine?
The
voyage
of
Columbus
was
but
an
excursion
on
a
fish
pond,
and
his
discoveries,
compared
with
mine,
were
but
trifles;
a
summer
sea
and
a
strip
of
land,
where
common
sense
must
have
convinced
any
man
of
ordinary
capacity
that
there
must
be
land,
unless
Providence
were
in
that
one
instance
more
wasteful
of
its
works
than
in
all
its
other
doings.
His
was
the
discovery
of
a
continent,
mine
of
a
new
World!
