Symzonia: Voyage of Discovery
·
Captain Adam Seaborn
89
When
such
men
became,
in
the
opinions
of
the
select
worthies,
incorrigible
and
dangerous
to
society,
they
were
transported
to
a
land
far
distant
to
the
north,
the
extreme
limit
of
the
world,
where
a
part
of
the
year
the
heat
is
intense.
There
they
continue
in
their
vicious
course,
pursuing
the
gratification
of
their
sensual
appetites,
and
are
punished
with
diseases
of
body
which
enervate
their
faculties,
inordinate
passions
which
torture
their
minds,
and
fierce
desires
which
are
incapable
of
being
satisfied.--The
influence
of
their
gross
appetites
and
of
the
climate,
causes
them
to
lose
their
fairness
of
complexion
and
beauty
of
form
and
feature.
They
become
dark
coloured,
ill
favoured,
and
mis-shapen
men,
not
much
superior
to
the
brute
creation.
They
retain,
indeed,
said
Surui,
some
of
the
customs
and
manners
of
Symzonia;
and
the
ceremony
of
pulling
the
nose
in
salutation
by
those
who
had
strayed
to
the
"icy
hoop,"
and
were
seen
by
Captain
Ross,
of
whom
I
had
spoken,
was
no
doubt
a
corruption
of
the
graceful
mode
of
salutation
practised
where
I
then
was.
On
my
first
appearance,
they
had
apprehended
that
I
was
of
that
outcast
race;
for
it
had
been
observed
by
those
who
had
conveyed
delinquents
to
the
place
of
exile,
that
the
descendants
of
the
outcasts
were
enlarged
in
stature
and
size,
owing
to
the
grossness
of
their
habits,
and
at
the
same
time
that
they
had
lost
their
strength
and
activity.
One
of
the
pure
race,
it
was
believed,
was
able
to
lift
three
times
as
much
as
any
one
of
the
degenerates,
or
to
leap
three
times
as
high.
Their
suspicions
of
my
being
of
the
outcast
tribe,
were
allayed
by
the
testimony
of
reverence
to
the
Supreme
Being
which
I
had
given,
by
falling
on
my
knees,
and
imploring
the
aid
of
heaven
in
my
embarrassed
situation;
whereby
they
knew
that
I
could
not
be
unworthy
of
their
regard.
