Feeling
sad because of our bad lack we reached the
land of Lestrigonas after a few days. I sent a group of
some men to explore the country. They met a girl, the
king’s daughter, who led us to her father Antifatis. He
gulped one of our partners and the others ran to us
scared to death, back to the ship. Then we saw
thousands
of
huge
Lestrigonas
to
emerge
from
everywhere, chasing us and throwing stones to us.
Many of us became meal for those cannibal creatures
and as for me I just managed to save the ship and my
men from death. This was due to the fact that I had
thought of putting the ship to a safe place and not in
the harbor.
