Symzonia: Voyage of Discovery
·
Captain Adam Seaborn
75
An
amusing
scene
now
occurred,
while
we
endeavoured
to
communicate
our
thoughts
and
wishes
to
one
another.
I
shoved
up
the
sleeve
of
my
coat,
to
show
them,
by
the
inside
of
my
arm,
(which
was
always
excluded
from
the
sun,)
that
I
was
a
white
man.
I
am
considered
fair
for
an
American,
and
my
skin
was
always
in
my
own
country
thought
to
be
one
of
the
finest
and
whitest.
But
when
one
of
the
internals
placed
his
arm,
always
exposed
to
the
weather,
by
the
side
of
mine,
the
difference
was
truly
mortifying.
I
was
not
a
white
man,
compared
with
him.
I
gave
them
to
understand
that
I
wanted
food
and
drink,
and
immediately
some
delicious
fruits,
and
a
large
bowl
of
excellent
milk,
were
placed
before
me,
which
I
ate
with
much
satisfaction
and
an
eager
appetite,
to
the
great
amusement
of
the
spectators,
who
seemed
astonished
at
the
enormous
quantity
I
took.
I
afterwards
learnt,
that
what
they
set
before
me
was
sufficient
for
ten
of
these
temperate
beings.
The
result
of
this
interview
was
an
understanding
between
us,
that
learning
each
others
languages
would
be
the
first
essential
step
towards
an
intercourse
between
us;
and
for
that
purpose
two
persons
were
promptly
singled
out
from
the
crowd,
who
took
their
seats
by
my
side,
with
a
writing
apparatus,
composed
of
some
very
delicate
white
leaves,
more
like
sheets
of
very
white
ivory
than
like
paper,
and
pencils
which
made
a
deep
green
mark.
