Description: Here we see Gulliver and the Sorrel Nag building a boat that Gulliver would use to leave the Country of the Houyhnhnms. The Council of the Houyhnhnms told his master that Gulliver either had to live with the yahoos or return to Europe but could not live with the Houyhnhnms any longer. Gulliver was shocked by this, and decided he had to leave rather than live with the yahoos. Gulliver was given two months to build a boat to leave the country. The same image appears in both the 1839 and 1843 Krabbe editions.
