Rudolf Erich Raspe: Gulliver revived, London 1786 (R5)

As soon as everything in his stomach was afloat, we manned a few boats, who rowed themselves and us into the world. The daylight, after, as near as we could judge, a fortnightʼs confinement in total darkness, cheered our spirits surprisingly. When we had all taken our leave of this capacious animal, we mustered just a fleet of Thirty-five ships, of all nations.

We left the two masts in his mouth, to prevent others being confined in the same horrid gulf of darkness and filth.

R5, S. 201f.
