23	438	"Who are you? What is that raft?" "I am Ayari," said Ayari.	10
38	1	What Ayari Thought He Saw in the Forest Ayari returned to the campfire.	10
53	200	Ayari, small Ayari, joined the askaris there, thrusting with a stabbing spear through the poles.	10
16	7	I had managed to get my foot on the lower jaw and, with the shovel, pry up the jaw, releasing the hold on the lacerated leg of Ayari, who, bleeding, scrambled back.	10
16	10	Other men, too, to the right of Ayari and to my left, screamed, and struck at it with their shovels.	10
16	16	It hissed more, its tongue sopping at the blood of Ayari in its mouth.	10
16	25	"Are you all right?" I asked Ayari.	10
16	30	"You have had a narrow escape," I told Ayari.	10
16	33	Ayari's leg seemed to buckle under him.	10
16	37	"It is well that I am on the rogues' chain," grinned Ayari.	10
16	41	Ayari was of Schendi, a thief.	10
16	45	Ayari, of Schendi, of course, spoke Gorean.	10
16	53	"Can you work?" asked the askari of Ayari.	10
16	54	Such simple phrases I could now make out, thanks to Ayari's tutoring.	10
16	55	More impressive to me was Ayari's capacity to read the drums, though, I am told, this is not difficult for anyone who can speak the inland speech fluently.	10
16	66	"Can you work?" repeated the askari to Ayari.	10
16	67	"No," said Ayari.	10
16	69	"I have made a speedy recovery," said Ayari.	10
16	73	"Can you dig?" I asked Ayari.	10
16	95	"This is an impressive project," I said to Ayari.	10
16	98	"On the other hand," said Ayari, "I would be content to surrender my part in this noble endeavor to others more worthy than myself".	10
16	102	"Our only hope," said a man to my left, also, like Ayari, from Schendi, "are the hostile tribes".	10
16	103	"That is some hope," said Ayari.	10
16	106	"There are the villages of the Ngao region, on the northern shore," said Ayari.	10
16	113	"Those of Schendi, too," said Ayari, "are not too pleased with the project".	10
16	115	"Yes," said Ayari.	10
16	118	"That is true," said Ayari.	10
16	121	"Lift me up," said Ayari.	10
16	125	"It is nothing," said Ayari.	10
16	129	I lowered Ayari again to the water.	10
16	131	"No," said Ayari.	10
16	136	"It is true," said Ayari, "that we would be much at the mercy of such raiders".	10
16	138	"Yes," said Ayari.	10
16	140	"The men of the work crews are not of their tribes," said Ayari.	10
16	142	Ayari waved at the lines of men behind us.	10
16	147	"There are two obvious ways in which Bila Huruma might be stopped," said Ayari.	10
16	154	"Bila Huruma, in virtue of the discoveries of Shaba," said Ayari, "has claimed all lands in the Lake Ngao region.	10
16	158	"It is basically simple," said Ayari.	10
16	165	"I have been a fraud and charlatan all my life," said Ayari.	10
16	170	"If they are successful," said Ayari, "that will finish organized resistance to Bila Huruma".	10
16	176	"In the arts of politics," said Ayari, complacently, "gold is more insidious than steel".	10
16	178	"War from the forests," said Ayari, "is effective only against an enemy which is weak or humane.	10
16	183	"Perhaps he could be killed," said Ayari.	10
16	185	"Surely," said Ayari.	10
16	187	"Five days ago," said Ayari, "the askaris went east to engage him in battle".	10
16	191	"Why?" asked Ayari.	10
16	195	"Unless it were forced upon him," said Ayari.	10
16	197	"Do not underestimate the efficiency of the askaris of Bila Huruma," said Ayari.	10
16	199	"Listen!" said Ayari.	10
16	202	"Can you make it out?" "Quiet!" said Ayari.	10
16	207	"The forces of Kisu have been met in battle and defeated," said Ayari.	10
16	211	"Look!" said Ayari.	10
16	235	"Kisu! Kisu!" "It is Kisu," said Ayari.	10
18	143	"Are you armed?" asked Msaliti, both in the inland speech, some of which I had learned from Ayari, and in Gorean.	10
19	120	Ayari, with whom I had shared the rogues' chain in the canal, had been generous in his help.	10
19	123	I spoke the inland speech very poorly, but, as would be expected, thanks to Ayari, I could follow a reasonable amount of what was going on.	10
20	8	"It is pretty," said Ayari.	10
20	11	"Now there is something really pretty," said Ayari.	10
20	16	I looked in the direction which Ayari, with his head, had indicated.	10
20	67	Naturally there had been on the raft, besides the girls, a chest of riches for Tende, riches which, according to the askaris, with whom Ayari took pains to be on good terms, would include such things as bolts of cloth, jewelries, cosmetics, coins, and perfumes.	10
20	79	After a time, when the askaris had withdrawn a few yards, I said to Ayari, "Convey my greetings to Kisu".	10
20	83	Ayari spoke to Kisu, and he lifted his head, regarding me disdainfully.	10
20	84	"I have conveyed your greetings to Kisu," said Ayari, speaking to me in Gorean.	10
20	86	"Of course not," said Ayari.	10
20	93	"Have your shovel ready," said Ayari to me, in Gorean.	10
20	100	Ayari conveyed this cheerfully to Kisu.	10
20	108	"I have told him what you said," said Ayari.	10
20	109	The speech of Kisu was closely related to the inland speech, and Ayari had no difficulty in communicating with him.	10
20	140	After a time Kisu turned about and called to Ayari.	10
20	141	Ayari then spoke to me.	10
20	147	"He is Mfalme of Ukungu," said Ayari to me.	10
21	1	What I Saw One Night in the Marsh, While I Was Chained in the Rogues' Cage "Awaken," said Ayari, nudging me.	10
21	10	"I saw the brief glint of a dark lantern, momentarily unshuttered," said Ayari.	10
21	13	"Listen," said Ayari.	10
21	19	"Listen," said Ayari.	10
21	22	"How many vessels?" asked Ayari.	10
21	25	"They could not be askaris," said Ayari.	10
21	31	"How do you judge the draw?" asked Ayari.	10
21	33	"The number of oars suggests length," said Ayari.	10
21	39	"What manner of vessels can they be?" asked Ayari.	10
21	52	"What is wrong?" asked Ayari.	10
21	61	"What is wrong?" asked Ayari.	10
22	15	"There is no escape," said Ayari.	10
22	24	"They might have killed you by now," said Ayari, "but you are strong.	10
22	27	"He carries no key," said Ayari.	10
22	31	"Do not be foolish," said Ayari.	10
22	36	"He does not speak to commoners," said Ayari to me.	10
23	1	Escape; Kisu Pays a Call on Tende "Is she not beautiful?" whispered Ayari.	10
23	9	"That is he," said Ayari, indicating tall Kisu a few places from us.	10
23	58	Ayari, softly, translated the conversation for me.	10
23	194	Ayari, to my right, knew Ushindi well enough to transpose easily into the related Ngao dialect spoken in the Ukungu district, but I did not.	10
23	219	I turned to Ayari.	10
23	221	"How do you propose to do this?" asked Ayari.	10
23	224	"What if some fear to escape?" asked Ayari.	10
23	226	"I am not sure I am in favor of this," said Ayari.	10
23	228	"Not me," said Ayari.	10
23	261	Ayari was near to me.	10
23	291	"They fear raiders," said Ayari.	10
23	313	One after another, I and Kisu, and Ayari, toward the center of the chain, the some forty-five or forty-six prisoners of the cage slipped free.	10
23	315	"Which way shall we go?" asked Ayari.	10
23	317	"You are going west!" said Ayari.	10
23	322	"There will be tools there," said Ayari.	10
23	348	"Askaris!" said Ayari.	10
23	360	"Raiders!" called out, Ayari, pointing backward.	10
23	364	"You will protect us, will you not?" begged Ayari.	10
23	366	"Fighting!" said Ayari.	10
23	372	"Who will stay to protect us?" inquired Ayari.	10
23	375	"There is a relief," said Ayari.	10
23	381	"Hurry," said Ayari.	10
23	391	"We can do it ourselves," said Ayari.	10
23	401	Kisu, I, and Ayari, remained on the island.	10
23	429	"I do not understand why the askaris have not yet returned," said Ayari.	10
23	434	* * * * "Why are you not with the other askaris, fighting in the east?" asked Ayari.	10
23	436	"Who are you? What is that?" "Where is the rogues' chain?" asked Ayari.	10
23	445	He could not see Ayari well.	10
23	448	"One askari," called Ayari, "is not enough to guard so great a personage as the Lady Tende".	10
23	451	"That is all I wanted to know," said Ayari.	10
23	460	The chained slaves who drew the platform and were sitting and crouching forward, on its surface, had, cautioned by Ayari, remained silent.	10
24	7	"It was a good night for them," said Ayari.	10
24	14	"My thanks for your advice, my friend," called out Ayari.	10
24	23	Ayari looked up at the sky.	10
24	27	"It is hopeless," said Ayari.	10
24	33	"What?" asked Ayari.	10
24	37	"What do you see?" asked Ayari.	10
24	39	"There may be numerous such engagements," said Ayari.	10
24	45	"Down!" said Ayari.	10
24	49	"Askaris are returning," said Ayari.	10
24	53	"We are safe now," said Ayari.	10
24	56	"Destroy it," said Ayari.	10
24	59	Ayari nodded, shuddering.	10
24	67	"Raiders!" cried Ayari.	10
24	98	Ayari waded out to the canoe.	10
24	113	Ayari placed the paddles he had found, some six of them, in the canoe.	10
24	139	Ayari grinned, affording me the translation of their remarks.	10
24	140	If I had spoken Ushindi more fluently I could probably have made out their discourse, as Ayari did, for the Ukungu speech is a closely related language.	10
24	164	"We must make haste," said Ayari, taking a position forward in the canoe.	10
24	226	"Look," said Ayari, after a time, looking back.	10
24	228	"Yes," said Ayari, "four of them, tharlarion".	10
24	272	Ayari moved toward the bow of the canoe, half standing, to try to balance the weight.	10
24	283	Ayari, seizing one of the paddles, and I, then moved the canoe forward.	10
24	287	Ayari, his paddle discarded, was reaching into the cylindrical basket of dried fish, torn open, which had been among the supplies of the canoe.	10
24	300	Ayari then threw bits of fish into the water, where the tharlarion must swim to them, to obtain them.	10
24	387	"Yes, Master!" Ayari and I, and the two bare-breasted, lovely white slaves, property girls, each of us now with a paddle, not speaking, propelled the long canoe quietly eastward.	10
25	1	We Reach the Sill; I am not Pleased with a Slave "Look," said Ayari, in the bow of the long canoe, pointing forward.	10
26	14	"Surely, by now," said Ayari, speaking from the bow, "we must be near the Ua".	10
26	26	"Look!" said Ayari, pointing off to the left.	10
26	31	"The lake is dividing," said Ayari.	10
26	65	"I do not even think there are men in these countries," said Ayari.	10
26	70	"No," said Ayari.	10
27	1	The Fishing Village; A Slave Begs to be Touched; Ayari Acquires Information They were scampering about on the scaffolding, it extending far out into the river.	10
27	11	"We are friends!" called Ayari, speaking in Ushindi.	10
27	17	"They are not overly friendly," observed Ayari.	10
27	26	"It is no use," said Ayari.	10
27	40	"Do you see him?" I called out to Ayari.	10
27	41	"He is safe," said Ayari.	10
27	47	"He swims like a fish," said Ayari.	10
27	69	"But a nice trick," said Ayari.	10
27	82	"Where is Ayari?" I asked Kisu.	10
27	283	* * * * It was late when Ayari returned to the hut.	10
27	291	"Quite so," said Ayari.	10
27	296	"They would not say," said Ayari.	10
27	301	"I think so," said Ayari.	10
28	1	The Box in the River "There!" said Ayari.	10
28	21	"Doubtless from one of the vessels of Shaba," said Ayari.	10
29	122	So, too, were Ayari and Kisu.	10
30	6	On the shore, each with a rope, one extending from the bow, one from the stern, stumbled Ayari and Alice.	10
30	7	Ayari held the bow rope and Alice the rope extending from the stern.	10
30	26	Ayari and Alice kept the lines taut.	10
31	28	"Friends! Friends!" * * * * Ayari was a remarkable man.	10
31	29	I doubt that anyone in the village knew more than a few dozen words of Ushindi, but Ayari, with his Ushindi, his gestures, his quick wit and a stick, with which he drew in the dust of the village, not only conducted his trading in a brisk and genial fashion but managed to gather valuable information...	10
31	30	"Shaba was here," said Ayari.	10
31	32	"The chief says only 'long ago,'" said Ayari.	10
31	36	"Of course," said Ayari, "and doubtless Shaba and his men set themselves to learn something of the speech of this village".	10
31	40	"Yes," grinned Ayari.	10
31	51	"Shaba, did he not," I asked, "went upriver?" "Yes," said Ayari.	10
31	58	"Did the chief, or the others," I asked Ayari, "say anything about the 'things,' or whatever they were, which were mentioned at the fishing village, about which the fishermen were reluctant to speak".	10
31	59	"I asked them," said Ayari.	10
31	64	"Of course not," said Ayari.	10
32	3	Ayari struggled with the bow.	10
32	8	"This is impossible," said Ayari.	10
32	10	"I am tired," said Ayari.	10
32	12	"Very well," said Ayari.	10
32	20	"I can go no further," said Ayari.	10
32	56	Ayari was lying on his back, looking up at the sky.	10
33	1	What We Saw from the Height of the Falls; Tende Dances; We Enter Again Upon the River; I Anticipate the Surrender of the Blond-Haired Barbarian We thrust the canoe upward, Kisu and I at the stern, Ayari and the girls hauling on ropes at the forequarter.	10
33	93	"She was to have been your companion! I took her away from you! I made her mine! I now exhibit her naked before you as my slave!" "He cannot see you or hear you!" shouted Ayari.	10
33	105	"Is she free?" asked Ayari.	10
33	107	"Have her put her arms over her head, wrists back to back," said Ayari.	10
33	111	"I have seen it done in Schendi," said Ayari.	10
33	182	"What of the remains of the fire?" asked Ayari.	10
33	185	"But it will mark our trail," said Ayari.	10
33	194	Ayari and Alice entered the canoe.	10
35	42	Considering Ayari and myself, and Alice and Janice, it was clearly the most sensible choice for a common medium of communication.	10
36	1	Wreckage; Again We Move Upriver "There," said Ayari, pointing.	10
36	7	"It could have been washed downriver for pasangs," said Ayari.	10
36	41	I then, with Ayari and Kisu, lifted the canoe again, and again we moved upriver.	10
37	17	"Let us go," said Ayari, nervously.	10
38	11	"It was there," said Ayari, a moment later, pointing to a space between trees.	10
38	15	"Doubtless it was a trick of the lights and shadows," said Ayari.	10
39	1	We are not Pursued "There is a village on the right," said Ayari.	10
39	5	"There are women and children on the bank," said Ayari.	10
39	8	"Let us take the canoe in," said Ayari.	10
39	16	"Hold the paddles," said Ayari.	10
39	27	"They are not pursuing us," said Ayari.	10
39	29	"Perhaps," said Ayari, "they know the river better than us, and do not desire to travel further eastward upon it".	10
39	31	"What shall we do?" asked Ayari.	10
41	1	The Net in the River "Look out!" cried Ayari.	10
41	8	Ayari, with his knife, slashed at the vines.	10
41	18	Ayari lifted aside vines.	10
42	1	We Leave a Village at Night "Tarl," whispered Ayari.	10
42	27	"I thought it strange, too," said Ayari.	10
42	32	"I think so," said Ayari.	10
42	37	"I never trust a man," said Ayari, "until I know what he eats".	10
42	39	"They are not asleep," said Ayari.	10
43	1	Talunas "See the size of it," said Ayari.	10
43	3	Ayari shoved it away from the side of the canoe with his paddle and it, with a snap of its tail, disappeared under the water.	10
43	156	* * * * Ayari, Kisu and I continued to paddle.	10
44	59	Ayari and Kisu referred to such fish as gints.	10
44	198	"Ayari! Tende! Alice!" Unmistakably in the small camp I saw the signs of struggle.	10
47	98	I freed, too, Ayari, and Alice and Tende.	10
47	101	"Ants!" cried Ayari.	10
48	60	Ayari, with a key taken from a pouch found in the hut of the taluna leader, unlocked the chains of Turgus, who had been from Port Kar.	10
48	201	Kisu and I, and Ayari, were sliding our canoe, from which we had removed its camouflage, toward the water.	10
48	208	Kisu and Ayari thrust the canoe into the water.	10
48	219	Turgus and I waded to the canoe, which Kisu and Ayari held steady in the water.	10
48	267	Kisu and Ayari, and Turgus and I, entered the canoe.	10
48	299	Ayari, then, long ago, had, as I had suspected, seen a taluna in the forest.	10
49	1	There is to be War upon the River; Tende will not be Tied Tonight "Can you read the drums, Ayari?" I asked.	10
49	2	"Kisu?" "No," said Ayari.	10
49	4	"The drums have the rhythm of neither the Ushindi nor Ukungu speech," said Ayari.	10
49	16	Ayari looked about himself.	10
49	34	"Look, over there," said Ayari.	10
49	48	"I do not like the sound of the drums," said Ayari.	10
49	75	"Why do you say that?" asked Ayari.	10
49	78	"What then could be the message?" asked Ayari.	10
49	85	"What then is the meaning of the drums?" pressed Ayari.	10
49	88	"Listen," said Ayari.	10
49	95	"Incredible," whispered Ayari.	10
49	99	"How many can there be?" asked Ayari.	10
50	1	The Lake; The Ancient City; We Will Enter the Ancient City "It is so vast," said Ayari.	10
50	24	"Where have the builders of these things gone?" asked Ayari.	10
50	28	"There, at the landing, moored," said Ayari, "is a river galley".	10
50	81	"Get up, Turgus," said Ayari, holding to his neck rope.	10
50	84	Then came Ayari and Turgus.	10
52	82	Ayari was behind us, and to the left.	10
52	115	"Really, Kisu," said Ayari.	10
52	136	Ayari held one.	10
52	150	"My recommendation," said Ayari, "would be to stab him when he is not looking, or perhaps to poison his palm wine".	10
53	13	The neck rope of Turgus had been in the keeping of Ayari.	10
53	311	"How have we been surprised?" I asked Ayari, who was at the threshold.	10
53	321	"Attack in fives, one engage, four strike!" "He is improvising tactics," said Ayari.	10
53	330	"It is true that we are lost," said Ayari, "but we shall make a good fight of it".	10
53	351	"We must hold them," cried Ayari.	10
53	418	But, in moments, viciously, Bila Huruma, Kisu, Turgus, Ayari and the askaris had been forced back again.	10
53	464	"It is madness to follow!" "Stay with us, Tarl!" cried Ayari.	10
53	470	"We will be prisoners here!" "Tonight is the full moon," said Ayari.	10
53	486	Kisu and Turgus, and Ayari, stood behind me.	10
57	70	I thought of small Ayari, with whom I had shared the rogues' chain and my adventures upon the Ua.	10
57	73	Ayari had proved his hardiness and worth in the journeys upon the Ua.	10
57	78	Too, Ayari was one of the few men who had ascended the Ua and lived to speak of it.	10
57	80	In time I had little doubt that Ayari would become one of the most important men in the equatorial regions of Gor.	10
57	315	"It is less dangerous now for an outlander to remain in Schendi," I said, "since Ayari became wazir to Bila Huruma".	10
57	319	I had little doubt but what Ayari had clarified to Bila Huruma the value of the friendship and facilities of the men of Schendi.	10
