Symzonia: Voyage of Discovery
·
Captain Adam Seaborn
74
We
spoke
to
each
other
in
vain:
he
walked
round,
and
surveyed
my
person
with
eager
curiosity.
I
did
the
like
by
him,
and
had
abundant
cause;
for
the
sootiest
African
does
not
differ
more
from
us
in
darkness
of
skin
and
grossness
of
features,
than
this
man
did
from
me
in
fairness
of
complexion
and
delicacy
of
form.
His
arms
were
bare;
his
body
was
covered
with
a
white
garment,
fitted
to
his
shape,
and
hanging
down
to
his
knees.
Upon
his
head
he
wore
a
tuft
of
feathers,
curiously
woven
with
his
hair,
which
afforded
shade
to
his
forehead
and
was
a
guard
for
his
head
against
the
rain.
There
was
no
appearance
of
any
weapon
about
either
him
or
any
of
the
others.
Having
both
satisfied
our
eyes,
I
again
endeavoured
to
make
myself
intelligible
to
him;
and,
by
the
aid
of
signs,
succeeded
so
far
as
to
convince
him
that
I
came
in
peace,
and
meant
no
harm
to
any
one.
He
pointed
to
the
building,
which
I
took
as
an
invitation
to
go
in,
and
walked
towards
the
portico,
with
the
Internal
by
my
side.
The
fair
skinned
people
by
whom
I
was
now
surrounded,
kept
at
a
respectful
distance
from
me.
They
formed
a
circle,
and
sat
down
upon
their
feet,
with
their
bodies
perfectly
upright,
and
invited
me
to
do
the
same.
I
admired
the
firmness
of
knee
and
strength
of
muscle
which
enabled
them
to
make
such
a
posture
easy
and
pleasant,
but
took
my
seat
on
the
floor
cross-legged,
like
a
Turk.
Several
of
the
principal
men
of
the
party
seated
themselves
near
me,
and
moved
nearer
and
further
off,
as
occasion
required,
with
great
facility,
and
without
changing
their
sitting
posture.
