Description: Here we see Gulliver attempting to hold a yahoo child who appeared to need help. However, the child squirmed and got free. The child was three years old and was playing with other children and fell. In this image we see Gulliver holding the child, with others chasing each other in the background on the right, and a Houyhnhnm on the left. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
