Description: Here we see Gulliver speaking with Pedro de Mendez, the captain of the ship that found Gulliver in New Holland. Pedro de Mendez asked Gulliver to explain his situation, however Gulliver remained quiet, wanting to return to his boat and get away from other people. Pedro de Mendez gave Gulliver food and a bed on the ship. Gulliver would not get undressed, and simply lay on top of the bed. Gulliver had planned to jump ship and swim back to his boat, however a crew member found out about his plan, and Gulliver was chained in the cabin. The same image appears in both the 1839 and 1843 Krabbe editions.
