It is customary for Gulliver and his little nurse, Glumdalclitch, to go into the garden together, and she often leaves him for a time to be alone with his thoughts. One day, she goes a little too far and cannot hear Gulliver cry for help when the gardener's little white spaniel picks him up in his mouth and carries him off. The dog carried Gulliver straight to the gardener. However, he was so gentle that Gulliver sustained no injuries, the gardener was mortified, and Glumdalclitch was scolded for leaving Gulliver alone.
Some time later, Gulliver's care is entrusted to a page while Glumdalclitch is ill, and he is taken to the seaside. Leaving Gulliver to rest in his little box, the page must have wandered off, and Gulliver suddenly feels a strong pull at the ring on the top of his box. He feels it lifted high into the air and then moving forward at a high rate of speed. He hears the flapping of wings and assumes that an eagle has picked up his box. A short while later, he is dropped into the ocean.
