Heving
been
condemned
,
by
nature
and
fortune
,
to
active
and
restless
life
,
in
two
months
after
my
return
,
I
again
left
my
native
country
,
and
took
shipping
in
the
Downs
,
on
the
20th
day
of
June
,
1702
,
in
the
Adventure
,
Captain
John
Nicholas
,
a
Cornish
man
,
commander
,
bound
for
Surat
.
We
had
a
very
prosperous
gale
,
till
we
arrived
at
the
Cape
of
Good
Hope
,
where
we
landed
for
fresh
water
;
but
discovering
a
leak
,
we
unshipped
our
goods
and
wintered
there
;
for
the
captain
falling
sick
of
an
ague
,
we
could
not
leave
the
Cape
till
the
end
of
March
.
We
then
set
sail
,
and
had
a
good
voyage
till
we
passed
the
Straits
of
Madagascar
;
but
having
got
northward
of
that
island
,
and
to
about
five
degrees
south
latitude
,
the
winds
,
which
in
those
seas
are
observed
to
blow
a
constant
equal
gale
between
the
north
and
west
,
from
the
beginning
of
December
to
the
beginning
of
May
,
on
the
19th
of
April
began
to
blow
with
much
greater
violence
,
and
more
westerly
than
usual
,
continuing
so
for
twenty
days
together
:
during
which
time
,
we
were
driven
a
little
to
the
east
of
the
Molucca
Islands
,
and
about
three
degrees
northward
of
the
line
,
as
our
captain
found
by
an
observation
he
took
the
2nd
of
May
,
at
which
time
the
wind
ceased
,
and
it
was
a
perfect
calm
,
whereat
I
was
not
a
little
rejoiced
.
But
he
,
being
a
man
well
experienced
in
the
navigation
of
those
seas
,
bid
us
all
prepare
against
a
storm
,
which
accordingly
happened
the
day
following
:
for
the
southern
wind
,
called
the
southern
monsoon
,
began
to
set
in
.
Finding
it
was
likely
to
overblow
,
we
took
in
our
sprit-sail
,
and
stood
by
to
hand
the
fore-sail
;
but
making
foul
weather
,
we
looked
the
guns
were
all
fast
,
and
handed
the
mizen
.
The
ship
lay
very
broad
off
,
so
we
thought
it
better
spooning
before
the
sea
,
than
trying
or
hulling
.
We
reefed
the
fore-sail
and
set
him
,
and
hauled
aft
the
fore-sheet
;
the
helm
was
hard
a-weather
.
The
ship
wore
bravely
.
We
belayed
the
fore
down-haul
;
but
the
sail
was
split
,
and
we
hauled
down
the
yard
,
and
got
the
sail
into
the
ship
,
and
unbound
all
the
things
clear
of
it
.
It
was
a
very
fierce
storm
;
the
sea
broke
strange
and
dangerous
.
We
hauled
off
upon
the
laniard
of
the
whip-staff
,
and
helped
the
man
at
the
helm
.
We
would
not
get
down
our
topmast
,
but
let
all
stand
,
because
she
scudded
before
the
sea
very
well
,
and
we
knew
that
the
top-mast
being
aloft
,
the
ship
was
the
wholesomer
,
and
made
better
way
through
the
sea
,
seeing
we
had
sea-room
.
When
the
storm
was
over
,
we
set
fore-sail
and
main-sail
,
and
brought
the
ship
to
.
Then
we
set
the
mizen
,
main-top-sail
,
and
the
fore-top-sail
.
Our
course
was
east-north-east
,
the
wind
was
at
south-west
.
We
got
the
starboard
tacks
aboard
,
we
cast
off
our
weather-braces
and
lifts
;
we
set
in
the
lee-braces
,
and
hauled
forward
by
the
weather-bowlings
,
and
hauled
them
tight
,
and
belayed
them
,
and
hauled
over
the
mizen
tack
to
windward
,
and
kept
her
full
and
by
as
near
as
she
would
lie
.
During
this
storm
,
which
was
followed
by
a
strong
wind
west-south-west
,
we
were
carried
,
by
my
computation
,
about
five
hundred
leagues
to
the
east
,
so
that
the
oldest
sailor
on
board
could
not
tell
in
what
part
of
the
world
we
were
.
Our
provisions
held
out
well
,
our
ship
was
staunch
,
and
our
crew
all
in
good
health
;
but
we
lay
in
the
utmost
distress
for
water
.
We
thought
it
best
to
hold
on
the
same
course
,
rather
than
turn
more
northerly
,
which
might
have
brought
us
to
the
north-west
part
of
Great
Tartary
,
and
into
the
Frozen
Sea
.
On
the
16th
day
of
June
,
1703
,
a
boy
on
the
top-mast
discovered
land
.
On
the
17th
,
we
came
in
full
view
of
a
great
island
,
or
continent
(
(
for
we
knew
not
whether
;)
;)
on
the
south
side
whereof
was
a
small
neck
of
land
jutting
out
into
the
sea
,
and
a
creek
too
shallow
to
hold
a
ship
of
above
one
hundred
tons
.
We
cast
anchor
within
a
league
of
this
creek
,
and
our
captain
sent
a
dozen
of
his
men
well
armed
in
the
long-boat
,
with
vessels
for
water
,
if
any
could
be
found
.
I
desired
his
leave
to
go
with
them
,
that
I
might
see
the
country
,
and
make
what
discoveries
I
could
.
When
we
came
to
land
we
saw
no
river
or
spring
,
nor
any
sign
of
inhabitants
.
Our
men
therefore
wandered
on
the
shore
to
find
out
some
fresh
water
near
the
sea
,
and
I
walked
alone
about
a
mile
on
the
other
side
,
where
I
observed
the
country
all
barren
and
rocky
.
I
now
began
to
be
weary
,
and
seeing
nothing
to
entertain
my
curiosity
,
I
returned
gently
down
towards
the
creek
;
and
the
sea
being
full
in
my
view
,
I
saw
our
men
already
got
into
the
boat
,
and
rowing
for
life
to
the
ship
.
I
was
going
to
holla
after
them
,
although
it
had
been
to
little
purpose
,
when
I
observed
a
huge
creature
walking
after
them
in
the
sea
,
as
fast
as
he
could
:
he
waded
not
much
deeper
than
his
knees
,
and
took
prodigious
strides
:
but
our
men
had
the
start
of
him
half
a
league
,
and
,
the
sea
thereabouts
being
full
of
sharp-pointed
rocks
,
the
monster
was
not
able
to
overtake
the
boat
.
This
I
was
afterwards
told
,
for
I
durst
not
stay
to
see
the
issue
of
the
adventure
;
but
ran
as
fast
as
I
could
the
way
I
first
went
,
and
then
climbed
up
a
steep
hill
,
which
gave
me
some
prospect
of
the
country
.
I
found
it
fully
cultivated
;
but
that
which
first
surprised
me
was
the
length
of
the
grass
,
which
,
in
those
grounds
that
seemed
to
be
kept
for
hay
,
was
about
twenty
feet
high
.
I
fell
into
a
high
road
,
for
so
I
took
it
to
be
,
though
it
served
to
the
inhabitants
only
as
a
foot-path
through
a
field
of
barley
.
Here
I
walked
on
for
some
time
,
but
could
see
little
on
either
side
,
it
being
now
near
harvest
,
and
the
corn
rising
at
least
forty
feet
.
I
was
an
hour
walking
to
the
end
of
this
field
,
which
was
fenced
in
with
a
hedge
of
at
least
one
hundred
and
twenty
feet
high
,
and
the
trees
so
lofty
that
I
could
make
no
computation
of
their
altitude
.
There
was
a
stile
to
pass
from
this
field
into
the
next
.
It
had
four
steps
,
and
a
stone
to
cross
over
when
you
came
to
the
uppermost
.
It
was
impossible
for
me
to
climb
this
stile
,
because
every
step
was
six-feet
high
,
and
the
upper
stone
about
twenty
.
I
was
endeavouring
to
find
some
gap
in
the
hedge
,
when
I
discovered
one
of
the
inhabitants
in
the
next
field
,
advancing
towards
the
stile
,
of
the
same
size
with
him
whom
I
saw
in
the
sea
pursuing
our
boat
.
He
appeared
as
tall
as
an
ordinary
spire
steeple
,
and
took
about
ten
yards
at
every
stride
,
as
near
as
I
could
guess
.
I
was
struck
with
the
utmost
fear
and
astonishment
,
and
ran
to
hide
myself
in
the
corn
,
whence
I
saw
him
at
the
top
of
the
stile
looking
back
into
the
next
field
on
the
right
hand
,
and
heard
him
call
in
a
voice
many
degrees
louder
than
a
speaking-trumpet
:
but
the
noise
was
so
high
in
the
air
,
that
at
first
I
certainly
thought
it
was
thunder
.
Whereupon
seven
monsters
,
like
himself
,
came
towards
him
with
reaping-hooks
in
their
hands
,
each
hook
about
the
largeness
of
six
scythes
.
These
people
were
not
so
well
clad
as
the
first
,
whose
servants
or
labourers
they
seemed
to
be
;
for
,
upon
some
words
he
spoke
,
they
went
to
reap
the
corn
in
the
field
where
I
lay
.
I
kept
from
them
at
as
great
a
distance
as
I
could
,
but
was
forced
to
move
with
extreme
difficulty
,
for
the
stalks
of
the
corn
were
sometimes
not
above
a
foot
distant
,
so
that
I
could
hardly
squeeze
my
body
betwixt
them
.
However
,
I
made
a
shift
to
go
forward
,
till
I
came
to
a
part
of
the
field
where
the
corn
had
been
laid
by
the
rain
and
wind
.
Here
it
was
impossible
for
me
to
advance
a
step
;
for
the
stalks
were
so
interwoven
,
that
I
could
not
creep
through
,
and
the
beards
of
the
fallen
ears
so
strong
and
pointed
,
that
they
pierced
through
my
clothes
into
my
flesh
.
At
the
same
time
I
heard
the
reapers
not
a
hundred
yards
behind
me
.
Being
quite
dispirited
with
toil
,
and
wholly
overcome
by
grief
and
dispair
,
I
lay
down
between
two
ridges
,
and
heartily
wished
I
might
there
end
my
days
.
I
bemoaned
my
desolate
widow
and
fatherless
children
.
I
lamented
my
own
folly
and
wilfulness
,
in
attempting
a
second
voyage
,
against
the
advice
of
all
my
friends
and
relations
.
In
this
terrible
agitation
of
mind
,
I
could
not
forbear
thinking
of
Lilliput
,
whose
inhabitants
looked
upon
me
as
the
greatest
prodigy
that
ever
appeared
in
the
world
;
where
I
was
able
to
draw
an
imperial
fleet
in
my
hand
,
and
perform
those
other
actions
,
which
will
be
recorded
for
ever
in
the
chronicles
of
that
empire
,
while
posterity
shall
hardly
believe
them
,
although
attested
by
millions
.
I
reflected
what
a
mortification
it
must
prove
to
me
,
to
appear
as
inconsiderable
in
this
nation
,
as
one
single
Lilliputian
would
be
among
us
.
But
this
I
conceived
was
to
be
the
least
of
my
misfortunes
;
for
,
as
human
creatures
are
observed
to
be
more
savage
and
cruel
in
proportion
to
their
bulk
,
what
could
I
expect
but
to
be
a
morsel
in
the
mouth
of
the
first
among
these
enormous
barbarians
that
should
happen
to
seize
me
?
Undoubtedly
philosophers
are
in
the
right
,
when
they
tell
us
that
nothing
is
great
or
little
otherwise
than
by
comparison
.
It
might
have
pleased
fortune
,
to
have
let
the
Lilliputians
find
some
nation
,
where
the
people
were
as
diminutive
with
respect
to
them
,
as
they
were
to
me
.
And
who
knows
but
that
even
this
prodigious
race
of
mortals
might
be
equally
overmatched
in
some
distant
part
of
the
world
,
whereof
we
have
yet
no
discovery
.
Scared
and
confounded
as
I
was
,
I
could
not
forbear
going
on
with
these
reflections
,
when
one
of
the
reapers
,
approaching
within
ten
yards
of
the
ridge
where
I
lay
,
made
me
apprehend
that
with
the
next
step
I
should
be
squashed
to
death
under
his
foot
,
or
cut
in
two
with
his
reaping-hook
.
And
therefore
,
when
he
was
again
about
to
move
,
I
screamed
as
loud
as
fear
could
make
me
:
whereupon
the
huge
creature
trod
short
,
and
,
looking
round
about
under
him
for
some
time
,
at
last
espied
me
as
I
lay
on
the
ground
.
