Description: Gulliver waved his arms at the floating island of Laputa and got the attention of a few Laputans and soon a crowd assembled to see Gulliver. They lowered a chair down then raised Gulliver up to the island on the chair using a pulley system, as is seen here. Gulliver is raised up over the rocks and arrives on Laputa. The same image appears in the 1843 Krabbe edition.
