I had set our course for the Cove of Harpalos, where resentment of Cos and a judicious gift to the harbor authorities, as before, I conjectured, would do much to give us a relatively secure anchorage. - (Avengers of Gor, Chapter 14, Sentence #8)

Earlier, in the vicinity of Nicosia, on Chios, prior to beaching on Daphna, we had mounted shearing blades and rams. The Dorna, a formidable ship of war, fifty-oared, capable of a devastating strike, commanded by Tab, was in our lee. We were a day from Daphna, following our destruction of the raider fleet. I had set our course for the Cove of Harpalos, where resentment of Cos and a judicious gift to the harbor authorities, as before, I conjectured, would do much to give us a relatively secure anchorage. I supposed that the search for us, which we had earlier evaded, it turning up nothing for the raiders, was unlikely to be resumed, at least at that place, no more than at dozens of other inlets and coves which had been examined in vain. Too, if raiders or allies of raiders managed to muster a ship or ships, we might always, well warned by lookouts posted, depart or, if it seemed to our advantage, meet them at sea. "I did not note that island on our voyage to Daphna," said Thurnock. - (Avengers of Gor)
