How did Gulliver reach England from Blefuscu?

      After a boat had been constructed and fitted for Gulliver with help from the Blefuscudian king, and it had been stocked with adequate provisions, the author set sail. After sailing about four leagues northward, the wind being at southeast and he saw a small island about half a league to the northwest where he cast anchor on the lee side of the island and took some refreshment and went to rest. He woke up at the crack of the dawn, steered the same course that he had done the day before, and about three in the afternoon, saw a sail steering to the southeast. The author hailed, her and made all the sail he could to catch her. It was an English ship that slackened its sails to enable the author to come up. The vessel was of an English merchantman returning from Japan to England. Its captain was Mr. John Biddel of Deptford, a very civil man, and an excellent sailor who treated Gulliver very well till they reached England.
