Describe Gullivers experiencei. in New HollandiiAt the port town of Xamoschi

When Gulliver reached Xamoschi, he pretended to be a Dutch trader in order to reach Europe along with Dutch traders. He had to conceal his identity as historically, Japan had closed its doors to European traders except those from Holland. The king of Luggnagg had referred him. Hence, he was treated as a guest of honour. The Emperor of Japan granted him his wish of travelling to Europe without trampling on the crucifix as a gesture of hospitality. Though suspecting him to be a Christian, he allowed him to go to Nangasac and board the Dutch ship to Europe.
