Within ten days of Gulliver’s stay at home, Captain William Robinson comes with a proposal for “a voyage to the East Indies in two months.” Gulliver accept it and justifies this to the reader, “I could not reject this proposal; the thirst I had of seeing the world, notwithstanding my past misfortunes, continuing as violent as ever.”
Gulliver begins his third voyage on August 5, 1706. Their ship reaches Fort St. George. While the captain resolves to attend to his business at Tonquin, he gives the command of a sloop to Gulliver.
A great storm diverts the sloop from its path. Later, they become a victim to two pirates. Gulliver pleads to the Dutchman to set them free, but that only annoys him further. Finally, with the intervention of a Japanese pirate, Gulliver is left alone in the ocean, on a canoe with only about eight days of provisions.
Gulliver remembers seeing a group of islands on his way. He manages to reach one of the islands but finds it rocky and uninhabited. For five days, he explores a new island every day, but without any hope of survival. While taking a stroll on the last island, he is finds a landmass floating in the air. Though baffled at the sight, he makes the inhabitants understand, through signs, his intention to come to their island. Consequently, he is pulled onto the landmass by means of a chain attached to pulleys.
