Gulliver believes the continent he is on stretches east to the unknown part of America west of California. To the north it reaches the Pacific, less than a hundred and fifty miles from Lagado.
There is a good port there with much trade with the great island of Luggnagg to the north-west. Luggnagg lies about a hundred leagues south-east of Japan. The Japanese emperor and the king of Luggnagg are close allies, so ships often sail between the two islands. Gulliver decided to go home to Europe that way.
He hired two mules and a guide. Then he took leave of Munodi, who had shown him such favour and gave him a generous present as he left.
