GULLIVER'S TRAVELS (16) [GULLIVER'S TRAVELS]
GULLIVER'S TRAVELS (16)
Then one day I saw, out at sea, a full size boat floating upside down.
I asked the emperor to lend me some ships and men to help me bring it to shore, so that I could sail home in it.
It took two thousand of the tiny men to help me to turn the boat eight side up once it was ashore.
Then I had to get it ready for the long journey home.
The thickest linen these people had was much thinner than that of our finest handkerchiefs, so two sails were made for me by putting thirteen thicknesses together.
Five hundred workmen were needed to make them.
I made ropes and cables by twisting together as many as thirty of the thickest and strongest of their ropes.
I made oars and masts with the help of the emperor's ship-carpenters.
