Brobdingnag and his men have reached the falls, where they find a great wall of cliffs stretching all the way up to the horizon. They have to watch for a dragon that might attack them, and they swear to God that they will fend it off if it attacks them. The ship has a bath, and the wind stinks, so they need to get on the lookout. They see a pair of flying dragons in the same airspace as they are, and one of them smells like a ship-eater. They can't stop it, because they're the only ones in the world who can capture the image of the dragon for posterity.
