Description: Here we see Gulliver pulling enemy ships back to Blefuscu during the war between Lilliput and Blefuscu. Gulliver waded in the water to reach the ships and he attached ropes with hooks to the ships and tied them together to pull them to shore. The Blefuscudians shot arrows at him, and worried for his eyes he pulled out a pair of glasses to protect his eyes, that he had hidden while the Lilliputians took an inventory of his belongings.
