Symzonia: Voyage of Discovery
·
Captain Adam Seaborn
73
Full
twenty
minutes
passed
in
this
suspense;
when
one
of
the
group,
a
man
near
five
feet
high,
came
to
the
threshold
of
the
platform,
and,
raising
his
hand
to
his
forehead,
he
brought
it
down
to
the
point
of
his
nose,
and
waved
it
gracefully
in
salutation,
with
a
slight
inclination
of
the
body,
but
without
actually
pulling
the
nose
as
I
had
done.
At
the
same
time
he
spoke
to
me,
in
a
soft,
shrill,
musical
voice.
His
language
was
as
unintelligible
to
me
as
the
notes
of
a
singing
bird;
but
his
mode
of
salutation
was
not.
I
caught
it
with
the
aptness
of
a
monkey,
returned
his
courtesy
after
his
own
fashion,
and
answered
him
in
English,
with
as
soft
a
whine
as
I
could
affect,
that
my
rude
voice
might
not
offend
his
ears.
Seeing
him
still
in
doubt
whether
it
was
a
mortal
or
a
goblin
that
stood
before
him,
I
bethought
me
to
show
him
that
I
had
some
sense
of
a
Supreme
Being.
I
therefore
fell
on
my
knees,
with
my
hands
and
eyes
upraised
to
heaven,
in
the
attitude
of
prayer.
This
was
distinctly
understood.
It
produced
a
shout
of
joy
which
was
followed
by
the
immediate
prostration
of
the
whole
party,
who
seemed
absorbed
in
devotion
for
a
few
minutes.
They
then
rose,
and
the
one
who
had
first
advanced
came
towards
me.
I
stood
still
to
receive
him,
and
as
he
walked
close
up
to
me,
I
extended
my
hand
to
ascertain
if
a
thing
so
fair
were
tangible.
He
put
out
his
hand,
and
seized
mine
with
a
grip
that
made
me
start;
but
instantly
let
it
go
again,
and
gazed
upon
me.
