Since the ram-ships of the enemy had not yet struck their masts, it would be only a matter of moments before we were sighted. - (Raiders of Gor, Chapter 14, Sentence #92)

With twelve ships I began to approach the treasure fleet from the southeast. Although I had had the masts, with their yards, taken down and lashed to the decks, and the sails stored below, I had the flutists and drummers, not uncommon on the ram-ships of Thassa, strike up a martial air. Then, rather bravely, the music drifting over the water, our oars at only half of maximum beat, we moved across the gleaming waters toward the large fleet. Since the ram-ships of the enemy had not yet struck their masts, it would be only a matter of moments before we were sighted. From the stern castle of the Dorna, then, with a long glass, that of the builders, I observed, far across the waters, the masts of the ram-ships, one by one, lowering. I could hear, moreover, their war trumpets, carrying from one ship to the other, signaling fleet movements. Message flags, doubtless repeating the message of the trumpets, were being run from the decks on their halyards to the heights of the stem castles. - (Raiders of Gor)
