After much doing about nothing, he decided to put on the fresh clothes left for him, and came out on deck.

He reluctantly took a drop from the cordial and instantly began feeling better. Caspian had luckily brought with him her cordial and dagger, so she took the cordial to the boys' cabin to help her cousin. Lucy decided to go tend to Eustace, who was suffering from seasickness. The voyage had already taken the ship beyond the Seven Isles, and was now bound for the Lone Islands, beyond which no one had ever been. However, Reepicheep's purpose was to sail to Aslan's own land.

Miraz had sent all these men out to sea after the death of Caspian's father. Caspian had left Narnia in the care of Trumpkin during this voyage, the purpose of which was to locate the Seven Noble Lords, find them, and if any of them died then avenge their deaths. The children, except for Eustace, were introduced to the captain of the ship, the Lord Drinian, and then sat down with Caspian to discuss what had happened since their last visit to Narnia (one year had passed in England while three had passed in Narnia). Caspian offered his cabin to Lucy while he, Edmund and Eustace would share a cabin. He greeted Lucy politely, but threatened Eustace for his lack of courtesy.

The mouse turned out to be Reepicheep, hero of the Second Battle of Beruna. Eustace groaned when a large mouse stepped from a nearby cabin and addressed Lucy. Caspian was entertained by Eustace's cries to be let off from the ship, and ordered wine for the three. The rescuer turned out to be King Caspian X, whom the Pevensies had helped restore to the throne of Narnia. Someone from the ship jumped into the water and brought Lucy alongside to have her lifted up, followed by Edmund, and finally the completely miserable Eustace. Eustace walked in and began teasing them again about Narnia when suddenly, much to their surprise, the waves and ship seemed to be moving! Suddenly the three of them were drawn into the painting and found themselves floating beside the magnificent ship. The adventure began when Edmund and Lucy were looking at a painting in Lucy's room, and remarked how Narnian the ship in the picture looked. The youngest of the Pevensies, Edmund and Lucy, were staying at Eustace's house, and were not fond of their cousin because of the way he teased them about Narnia and how they talked about it. The story began with the introduction of Eustace Clarence Scrubb, an unpleasant boy who was the cousin of the Pevensie children.
