Gulliver's Journey
My
father
had
a
small
estate
in
Nottinghamshire
:
I
was
the
third
of
five
sons
.
He
sent
me
to
Emanuel
College
in
Cambridge
at
fourteen
years
old
,
where
I
resided
three
years
,
and
applied
myself
close
to
my
studies
;
but
the
charge
of
maintaining
me
,
although
I
had
a
very
scanty
allowance
,
being
too
great
for
a
narrow
fortune
,
I
was
bound
apprentice
to
Mr.
James
Bates
,
an
eminent
surgeon
in
London
,
with
whom
I
continued
four
years
.
My
father
now
and
then
sending
me
small
sums
of
money
,
I
laid
them
out
in
learning
navigation
,
and
other
parts
of
the
mathematics
,
useful
to
those
who
intend
to
travel
,
as
I
always
believed
it
would
be
,
some
time
or
other
,
my
fortune
to
do
.
When
I
left
Mr.
Bates
,
I
went
down
to
my
father
:
where
,
by
the
assistance
of
him
and
my
uncle
John
,
and
some
other
relations
,
I
got
forty
pounds
,
and
a
promise
of
thirty
pounds
a
year
to
maintain
me
at
Leyden
:
there
I
studied
physic
two
years
and
seven
months
,
knowing
it
would
be
useful
in
long
voyages
.
Soon
after
my
return
from
Leyden
,
I
was
recommended
by
my
good
master
,
Mr.
Bates
,
to
be
surgeon
to
the
Swallow
,
Captain
Abraham
Pannel
,
commander
;
with
whom
I
continued
three
years
and
a
half
,
making
a
voyage
or
two
into
the
Levant
,
and
some
other
parts
.
When
I
came
back
I
resolved
to
settle
in
London
;
to
which
Mr.
Bates
,
my
master
,
encouraged
me
,
and
by
him
I
was
recommended
to
several
patients
.
I
took
part
of
a
small
house
in
the
Old
Jewry
;
and
being
advised
to
alter
my
condition
,
I
married
Mrs.
Mary
Burton
,
second
daughter
to
Mr.
Edmund
Burton
,
hosier
,
in
Newgate-street
,
with
whom
I
received
four
hundred
pounds
for
a
portion
.
But
my
good
master
Bates
dying
in
two
years
after
,
and
I
having
few
friends
,
my
business
began
to
fail
;
for
my
conscience
would
not
suffer
me
to
imitate
the
bad
practice
of
too
many
among
my
brethren
.
Having
therefore
consulted
with
my
wife
,
and
some
of
my
acquaintance
,
I
determined
to
go
again
to
sea
.
I
was
surgeon
successively
in
two
ships
,
and
made
several
voyages
,
for
six
years
,
to
the
East
and
West
Indies
,
by
which
I
got
some
addition
to
my
fortune
.
My
hours
of
leisure
I
spent
in
reading
the
best
authors
,
ancient
and
modern
,
being
always
provided
with
a
good
number
of
books
;
and
when
I
was
ashore
,
in
observing
the
manners
and
dispositions
of
the
people
,
as
well
as
learning
their
language
;
wherein
I
had
a
great
facility
,
by
the
strength
of
my
memory
.
The
last
of
these
voyages
not
proving
very
fortunate
,
I
grew
weary
of
the
sea
,
and
intended
to
stay
at
home
with
my
wife
and
family
.
I
removed
from
the
Old
Jewry
to
Fetter
Lane
,
and
from
thence
to
Wapping
,
hoping
to
get
business
among
the
sailors
;
but
it
would
not
turn
to
account
.
After
three
years
expectation
that
things
would
mend
,
I
accepted
an
advantageous
offer
from
Captain
William
Prichard
,
master
of
the
Antelope
,
who
was
making
a
voyage
to
the
South
Sea
.
We
set
sail
from
Bristol
,
May
4
,
1699
,
and
our
voyage
was
at
first
very
prosperous
.
It
would
not
be
proper
,
for
some
reasons
,
to
trouble
the
reader
with
the
particulars
of
our
adventures
in
those
seas
;
let
it
suffice
to
inform
him
,
that
in
our
passage
from
thence
to
the
East
Indies
,
we
were
driven
by
a
violent
storm
to
the
north-west
of
Van
Diemen
's
Land
.
By
an
observation
,
we
found
ourselves
in
the
latitude
of
30
degrees
2
minutes
south
.
Twelve
of
our
crew
were
dead
by
immoderate
labour
and
ill
food
;
the
rest
were
in
a
very
weak
condition
.
On
the
5th
of
November
,
which
was
the
beginning
of
summer
in
those
parts
,
the
weather
being
very
hazy
,
the
seamen
spied
a
rock
within
half
a
cable
's
length
of
the
ship
;
but
the
wind
was
so
strong
,
that
we
were
driven
directly
upon
it
,
and
immediately
split
.
Six
of
the
crew
,
of
whom
I
was
one
,
having
let
down
the
boat
into
the
sea
,
made
a
shift
to
get
clear
of
the
ship
and
the
rock
.
We
rowed
,
by
my
computation
,
about
three
leagues
,
till
we
were
able
to
work
no
longer
,
being
already
spent
with
labour
while
we
were
in
the
ship
.
We
therefore
trusted
ourselves
to
the
mercy
of
the
waves
,
and
in
about
half
an
hour
the
boat
was
overset
by
a
sudden
flurry
from
the
north
.
What
became
of
my
companions
in
the
boat
,
as
well
as
of
those
who
escaped
on
the
rock
,
or
were
left
in
the
vessel
,
I
can
not
tell
;
but
conclude
they
were
all
lost
.
For
my
own
part
,
I
swam
as
fortune
directed
me
,
and
was
pushed
forward
by
wind
and
tide
.
I
often
let
my
legs
drop
,
and
could
feel
no
bottom
;
but
when
I
was
almost
gone
,
and
able
to
struggle
no
longer
,
I
found
myself
within
my
depth
;
and
by
this
time
the
storm
was
much
abated
.
The
declivity
was
so
small
,
that
I
walked
near
a
mile
before
I
got
to
the
shore
,
which
I
conjectured
was
about
eight
o'clock
o'clock
in
the
evening
.
I
then
advanced
forward
near
half
a
mile
,
but
could
not
discover
any
sign
of
houses
or
inhabitants
;
at
least
I
was
in
so
weak
a
condition
,
that
I
did
not
observe
them
.
I
was
extremely
tired
,
and
with
that
,
and
the
heat
of
the
weather
,
and
about
half
a
pint
of
brandy
that
I
drank
as
I
left
the
ship
,
I
found
myself
much
inclined
to
sleep
.
I
lay
down
on
the
grass
,
which
was
very
short
and
soft
,
where
I
slept
sounder
than
ever
I
remembered
to
have
done
in
my
life
,
and
,
as
I
reckoned
,
about
nine
hours
;
for
when
I
awaked
,
it
was
just
day-light
.
I
attempted
to
rise
,
but
was
not
able
to
stir
:
for
,
as
I
happened
to
lie
on
my
back
,
I
found
my
arms
and
legs
were
strongly
fastened
on
each
side
to
the
ground
;
and
my
hair
,
which
was
long
and
thick
,
tied
down
in
the
same
manner
.
I
likewise
felt
several
slender
ligatures
across
my
body
,
from
my
arm-pits
to
my
thighs
.
I
could
only
look
upwards
;
the
sun
began
to
grow
hot
,
and
the
light
offended
my
eyes
.
I
heard
a
confused
noise
about
me
;
but
in
the
posture
I
lay
,
could
see
nothing
except
the
sky
.
In
a
little
time
I
felt
something
alive
moving
on
my
left
leg
,
which
advancing
gently
forward
over
my
breast
,
came
almost
up
to
my
chin
;
when
,
bending
my
eyes
downwards
as
much
as
I
could
,
I
perceived
it
to
be
a
human
creature
not
six
inches
high
,
with
a
bow
and
arrow
in
his
hands
,
and
a
quiver
at
his
back
.
In
the
mean
time
,
I
felt
at
least
forty
more
of
the
same
kind
(
(
as
I
conjectured
)
)
following
the
first
.
I
was
in
the
utmost
astonishment
,
and
roared
so
loud
,
that
they
all
ran
back
in
a
fright
;
and
some
of
them
,
as
I
was
afterwards
told
,
were
hurt
with
the
falls
they
got
by
leaping
from
my
sides
upon
the
ground
.
However
,
they
soon
returned
,
and
one
of
them
,
who
ventured
so
far
as
to
get
a
full
sight
of
my
face
,
lifting
up
his
hands
and
eyes
by
way
of
admiration
,
cried
out
in
a
shrill
but
distinct
voice
,
Hekinah
degul
:
the
others
repeated
the
same
words
several
times
,
but
then
I
knew
not
what
they
meant
.
I
lay
all
this
while
,
as
the
reader
may
believe
,
in
great
uneasiness
.
At
length
,
struggling
to
get
loose
,
I
had
the
fortune
to
break
the
strings
,
and
wrench
out
the
pegs
that
fastened
my
left
arm
to
the
ground
;
for
,
by
lifting
it
up
to
my
face
,
I
discovered
the
methods
they
had
taken
to
bind
me
,
and
at
the
same
time
with
a
violent
pull
,
which
gave
me
excessive
pain
,
I
a
little
loosened
the
strings
that
tied
down
my
hair
on
the
left
side
,
so
that
I
was
just
able
to
turn
my
head
about
two
inches
.
But
the
creatures
ran
off
a
second
time
,
before
I
could
seize
them
;
whereupon
there
was
a
great
shout
in
a
very
shrill
accent
,
and
after
it
ceased
I
heard
one
of
them
cry
aloud
Tolgo
phonac
;
when
in
an
instant
I
felt
above
a
hundred
arrows
discharged
on
my
left
hand
,
which
,
pricked
me
like
so
many
needles
;
and
besides
,
they
shot
another
flight
into
the
air
,
as
we
do
bombs
in
Europe
,
whereof
many
,
I
suppose
,
fell
on
my
body
,
(
(
though
I
felt
them
not
)
)
,
and
some
on
my
face
,
which
I
immediately
covered
with
my
left
hand
.
When
this
shower
of
arrows
was
over
,
I
fell
a
groaning
with
grief
and
pain
;
and
then
striving
again
to
get
loose
,
they
discharged
another
volley
larger
than
the
first
,
and
some
of
them
attempted
with
spears
to
stick
me
in
the
sides
;
but
by
good
luck
I
had
on
a
buff
jerkin
,
which
they
could
not
pierce
.
I
thought
it
the
most
prudent
method
to
lie
still
,
and
my
design
was
to
continue
so
till
night
,
when
,
my
left
hand
being
already
loose
,
I
could
easily
free
myself
:
and
as
for
the
inhabitants
,
I
had
reason
to
believe
I
might
be
a
match
for
the
greatest
army
they
could
bring
against
me
,
if
they
were
all
of
the
same
size
with
him
that
I
saw
.
But
fortune
disposed
otherwise
of
me
.
When
the
people
observed
I
was
quiet
,
they
discharged
no
more
arrows
;
but
,
by
the
noise
I
heard
,
I
knew
their
numbers
increased
;
and
about
four
yards
from
me
,
over
against
my
right
ear
,
I
heard
a
knocking
for
above
an
hour
,
like
that
of
people
at
work
;
when
turning
my
head
that
way
,
as
well
as
the
pegs
and
strings
would
permit
me
,
I
saw
a
stage
erected
about
a
foot
and
a
half
from
the
ground
,
capable
of
holding
four
of
the
inhabitants
,
with
two
or
three
ladders
to
mount
it
:
from
whence
one
of
them
,
who
seemed
to
be
a
person
of
quality
,
made
me
a
long
speech
,
whereof
I
understood
not
one
syllable
.
But
I
should
have
mentioned
,
that
before
the
principal
person
began
his
oration
,
he
cried
out
three
times
,
Langro
dehul
san
(
(
these
words
and
the
former
were
afterwards
repeated
and
explained
to
me
)
)
;
whereupon
,
immediately
,
about
fifty
of
the
inhabitants
came
and
cut
the
strings
that
fastened
the
left
side
of
my
head
,
which
gave
me
the
liberty
of
turning
it
to
the
right
,
and
of
observing
the
person
and
gesture
of
him
that
was
to
speak
.
He
appeared
to
be
of
a
middle
age
,
and
taller
than
any
of
the
other
three
who
attended
him
,
whereof
one
was
a
page
that
held
up
his
train
,
and
seemed
to
be
somewhat
longer
than
my
middle
finger
;
the
other
two
stood
one
on
each
side
to
support
him
.
He
acted
every
part
of
an
orator
,
and
I
could
observe
many
periods
of
threatenings
,
and
others
of
promises
,
pity
,
and
kindness
.
I
answered
in
a
few
words
,
but
in
the
most
submissive
manner
,
lifting
up
my
left
hand
,
and
both
my
eyes
to
the
sun
,
as
calling
him
for
a
witness
;
and
being
almost
famished
with
hunger
,
having
not
eaten
a
morsel
for
some
hours
before
I
left
the
ship
,
I
found
the
demands
of
nature
so
strong
upon
me
,
that
I
could
not
forbear
showing
my
impatience
(
perhaps
against
the
strict
rules
of
decency
)
)
by
putting
my
finger
frequently
to
my
mouth
,
to
signify
that
I
wanted
food
.
The
hurgo
(
for
so
they
call
a
great
lord
,
as
I
afterwards
learnt
)
)
understood
me
very
well
.
He
descended
from
the
stage
,
and
commanded
that
several
ladders
should
be
applied
to
my
sides
,
on
which
above
a
hundred
of
the
inhabitants
mounted
and
walked
towards
my
mouth
,
laden
with
baskets
full
of
meat
,
which
had
been
provided
and
sent
thither
by
the
king
's
orders
,
upon
the
first
intelligence
he
received
of
me
.
I
observed
there
was
the
flesh
of
several
animals
,
but
could
not
distinguish
them
by
the
taste
.
There
were
shoulders
,
legs
,
and
loins
,
shaped
like
those
of
mutton
,
and
very
well
dressed
,
but
smaller
than
the
wings
of
a
lark
.
I
ate
them
by
two
or
three
at
a
mouthful
,
and
took
three
loaves
at
a
time
,
about
the
bigness
of
musket
bullets
.
They
supplied
me
as
fast
as
they
could
,
showing
a
thousand
marks
of
wonder
and
astonishment
at
my
bulk
and
appetite
.
I
then
made
another
sign
,
that
I
wanted
drink
.
They
found
by
my
eating
that
a
small
quantity
would
not
suffice
me
;
and
being
a
most
ingenious
people
,
they
slung
up
,
with
great
dexterity
,
one
of
their
largest
hogsheads
,
then
rolled
it
towards
my
hand
,
and
beat
out
the
top
;
I
drank
it
off
at
a
draught
,
which
I
might
well
do
,
for
it
did
not
hold
half
a
pint
,
and
tasted
like
a
small
wine
of
Burgundy
,
but
much
more
delicious
.
