Description
-
Here Gulliver is transported to the capital of Lilliput on a large gurney. The Emperor of Lilliput wanted Gulliver to be moved from the shore to the capital city and he asked for a large gurney to be built. The gurney was built to be seven feet long, four feet wide, and three inches thick, with twenty-two wheels. The gurney was attached to eighty ropes pulled by fifteen-hundred horses. Gulliver was given medicine to make him sleep while they made the journey from the shore to the capital. They reached the capital after a day and a half of marching – stopping overnight. During the night, five-thousand men stood guard.
