When Gulliver came to
know from a friendly lord about the conspiracy being hatched against him by the
Emperor and some of his ministers, he felt alarmed and angered. He was also
told by the lord that certain articles of impeachment had been framed against
him. There had been held several secret meetings to decide Gulliver's fate. It
had been finalized that Gulliver would be punished by blinding, followed by
starvation to death.
Gulliver felt resentment on the secret plan to harm him. He even thought of wreaking havoc on the kingdom of Lilliput, but decided against it. Gulliver decided to sneak away to Blefuscu, by wading across the channel that divided it from Lilliput.
Gulliver went to that side of the island, seized a large man of war, tied a a cable to the prow, and lifting up the anchors, he stripped himself, out his clothes into the vessel, an drawing it after him, between wading and swimming, arrived the royal port of Blefuscu. Thus Gulliver escaped the punishment for high treason.
