[[File:3778.jpg|left]]Governor Gumpas is sitting in his castle in Narrowhaven when he sees a Narnian ship signalling to the rest of its fleet to make for the cape. No one from Narnia has been to the Lone Islands for over 150 years, and he is not sure if the ships are coming in peace or not. When King Caspian arrives in Narrowhaven and forces his way into Gumpas' chambers, Gumpas has the impudence to tell the Narnian king that he cannot see the governor without an appointment. Lord Bern and Captain Drinian overturn Gumpas' table and Bern speaks roughly to him while Caspian calmly sits in the governor's chair. Caspian calls Gumpas to account for the slave trade he has allowed to flourish on the Lone Islands, and the governor refuses to end it. Gumpas is aghast to learn that the Lone Islands' tribute to Narnia — which has not been paid for 150 years — is due from his own pocket. In the face of Gumpas' sputterings and equivocations, Caspian relieves Gumpas of his post, and the former governor watches as the King makes Lord Bern the Duke of the Lone Islands. Duke Bern then gives Gumpas the choice to leave with or without a flogging. Gumpas leaves ignominiously — but without the flogging.
