My
master
added
,
"
that
he
was
daily
pressed
by
the
Houyhnhnms
of
the
neighbourhood
to
have
the
assembly
's
exhortation
executed
,
which
he
could
not
put
off
much
longer
.
He
doubted
it
would
be
impossible
for
me
to
swim
to
another
country
;
and
therefore
wished
I
would
contrive
some
sort
of
vehicle
,
resembling
those
I
had
described
to
him
,
that
might
carry
me
on
the
sea
;
in
which
work
I
should
have
the
assistance
of
his
own
servants
,
as
well
as
those
of
his
neighbours
.
"
He
concluded
,
"
that
for
his
own
part
,
he
could
have
been
content
to
keep
me
in
his
service
as
long
as
I
lived
;
because
he
found
I
had
cured
myself
of
some
bad
habits
and
dispositions
,
by
endeavouring
,
as
far
as
my
inferior
nature
was
capable
,
to
imitate
the
Houyhnhnms
.
"
I
should
here
observe
to
the
reader
,
that
a
decree
of
the
general
assembly
in
this
country
is
expressed
by
the
word
hnhloayn
,
which
signifies
an
exhortation
,
as
near
as
I
can
render
it
;
for
they
have
no
conception
how
a
rational
creature
can
be
compelled
,
but
only
advised
,
or
exhorted
;
because
no
person
can
disobey
reason
,
without
giving
up
his
claim
to
be
a
rational
creature
.
I
was
struck
with
the
utmost
grief
and
despair
at
my
master
's
discourse
;
and
being
unable
to
support
the
agonies
I
was
under
,
I
fell
into
a
swoon
at
his
feet
.
When
I
came
to
myself
,
he
told
me
"
that
he
concluded
I
had
been
dead
;
"
for
these
people
are
subject
to
no
such
imbecilities
of
nature
.
I
began
this
desperate
voyage
on
February
15
,
1714-15
,
at
nine
o'clock
in
the
morning
.
The
wind
was
very
favourable
;
however
,
I
made
use
at
first
only
of
my
paddles
;
but
considering
I
should
soon
be
weary
,
and
that
the
wind
might
chop
about
,
I
ventured
to
set
up
my
little
sail
;
and
thus
,
with
the
help
of
the
tide
,
I
went
at
the
rate
of
a
league
and
a
half
an
hour
,
as
near
as
I
could
guess
.
My
master
and
his
friends
continued
on
the
shore
till
I
was
almost
out
of
sight
;
and
I
often
heard
the
sorrel
nag
(
(
who
always
loved
me
)
)
crying
out
,
"
Hnuy
illa
nyha
,
majah
Yahoo
;
"
"
Take
care
of
thyself
,
gentle
Yahoo
.
"
My
design
was
,
if
possible
,
to
discover
some
small
island
uninhabited
,
yet
sufficient
,
by
my
labour
,
to
furnish
me
with
the
necessaries
of
life
,
which
I
would
have
thought
a
greater
happiness
,
than
to
be
first
minister
in
the
politest
court
of
Europe
;
so
horrible
was
the
idea
I
conceived
of
returning
to
live
in
the
society
,
and
under
the
government
of
Yahoos
.
For
in
such
a
solitude
as
I
desired
,
I
could
at
least
enjoy
my
own
thoughts
,
and
reflect
with
delight
on
the
virtues
of
those
inimitable
Houyhnhnms
,
without
an
opportunity
of
degenerating
into
the
vices
and
corruptions
of
my
own
species
.
The
reader
may
remember
what
I
related
,
when
my
crew
conspired
against
me
,
and
confined
me
to
my
cabin
;
how
I
continued
there
several
weeks
without
knowing
what
course
we
took
;
and
when
I
was
put
ashore
in
the
long-boat
,
how
the
sailors
told
me
,
with
oaths
,
whether
true
or
false
,
"
that
they
knew
not
in
what
part
of
the
world
we
were
.
"
I
answered
in
a
faint
voice
,
"
that
death
would
have
been
too
great
a
happiness
;
that
although
I
could
not
blame
the
assembly
's
exhortation
,
or
the
urgency
of
his
friends
;
yet
,
in
my
weak
and
corrupt
judgment
,
I
thought
it
might
consist
with
reason
to
have
been
less
rigorous
;
that
I
could
not
swim
a
league
,
and
probably
the
nearest
land
to
theirs
might
be
distant
above
a
hundred
:
that
many
materials
,
necessary
for
making
a
small
vessel
to
carry
me
off
,
were
wholly
wanting
in
this
country
;
which
,
however
,
I
would
attempt
,
in
obedience
and
gratitude
to
his
honour
,
although
I
concluded
the
thing
to
be
impossible
,
and
therefore
looked
on
myself
as
already
devoted
to
destruction
;
that
the
certain
prospect
of
an
unnatural
death
was
the
least
of
my
evils
;
for
,
supposing
I
should
escape
with
life
by
some
strange
adventure
,
how
could
I
think
with
temper
of
passing
my
days
among
Yahoos
,
and
relapsing
into
my
old
corruptions
,
for
want
of
examples
to
lead
and
keep
me
within
the
paths
of
virtue
?
that
I
knew
too
well
upon
what
solid
reasons
all
the
determinations
of
the
wise
Houyhnhnms
were
founded
,
not
to
be
shaken
by
arguments
of
mine
,
a
miserable
Yahoo
;
and
therefore
,
after
presenting
him
with
my
humble
thanks
for
the
offer
of
his
servants
'
assistance
in
making
a
vessel
,
and
desiring
a
reasonable
time
for
so
difficult
a
work
,
I
told
him
I
would
endeavour
to
preserve
a
wretched
being
;
and
if
ever
I
returned
to
England
,
was
not
without
hopes
of
being
useful
to
my
own
species
,
by
celebrating
the
praises
of
the
renowned
Houyhnhnms
,
and
proposing
their
virtues
to
the
imitation
of
mankind
.
"
My
master
,
in
a
few
words
,
made
me
a
very
gracious
reply
;
allowed
me
the
space
of
two
months
to
finish
my
boat
;
and
ordered
the
sorrel
nag
,
my
fellow-servant
(
(
for
so
,
at
this
distance
,
I
may
presume
to
call
him
)
)
,
to
follow
my
instruction
;
because
I
told
my
master
,
"
that
his
help
would
be
sufficient
,
and
I
knew
he
had
a
tenderness
for
me
.
"
In
his
company
,
my
first
business
was
to
go
to
that
part
of
the
coast
where
my
rebellious
crew
had
ordered
me
to
be
set
on
shore
.
I
got
upon
a
height
,
and
looking
on
every
side
into
the
sea
;
fancied
I
saw
a
small
island
toward
the
north-east
.
I
took
out
my
pocket
glass
,
and
could
then
clearly
distinguish
it
above
five
leagues
off
,
as
I
computed
;
but
it
appeared
to
the
sorrel
nag
to
be
only
a
blue
cloud
:
for
as
he
had
no
conception
of
any
country
beside
his
own
,
so
he
could
not
be
as
expert
in
distinguishing
remote
objects
at
sea
,
as
we
who
so
much
converse
in
that
element
.
