1	211	When they wearied of me, I was taken, leashed and manacled, to a lonely beach, at the edge of Thassa, bordering on the western edge of the forests".	10
2	2	"High on the beach!" His slave, Cara, in a brief woolen tunic, one-piece, woven of the wool of the Hurt, sleeveless, barefoot on the deck, graced by his collar, stood behind him and to his left.	10
2	6	I opened it, and surveyed the beach.	10
2	7	High on the beach, I saw two pairs of sloping beams.	10
2	19	Far above the beach we could see the green margins of the great northern forests.	10
2	32	"There is a man on the beach," I said.	10
2	48	The man whom Rim had identified as Arn, an outlaw, now came forward, passing before the two frames, closer down to the beach's edge.	10
2	51	Cara looked at the girls tied helpless in the frames, and at the man coming down to the shore, and at the others, high on the beach, behind him, behind the frames.	10
2	53	"I hate them!" I returned the trading gesture, and the man on the shore lifted his arms, acknowledging my sign, and turned back, walking again, heavily in the sand, back up the beach.	10
2	88	"But do not beach her".	10
2	91	I had no desire, in this instance, to beach the galley.	10
2	95	The wooden tarn head, surmounting the prow of the Tesephone, with its large, carved, painted eyes, turned slowly toward the beach.	10
2	114	Two further poles were set at the stern, that the lapping tide, seeking its beach, not turn her about.	10
2	117	The tarn head at the prow, slightly rocking, scarcely moving, surveyed the beach.	10
2	128	I felt the sand of the beach beneath my feet.	10
2	130	I climbed some yards up the beach.	10
2	139	We met some yards up the beach, on the hot sand.	10
2	235	In fury, Cara did so, on the beach, inspected.	10
2	276	Rim, followed by Cara and myself, began to walk back down the beach, toward the Tesephone.	10
2	299	Arn's men laughed uproariously on the beach.	10
2	510	I saw Sheera, standing knee deep in the water, near the beach.	10
2	529	Already Sheera, and her girls, had disappeared from the beach, slipping as invisibly, as naturally, as she-panthers into the darkness of the forests.	10
2	531	They stood high on the beach, where they might be easily seen from the sea.	10
6	733	* * * * I and my men, save the posted guards, sat about the fire on the beach, within the wall, not far from the inclining hull of the Tesephone.	10
13	51	In a line behind him, on the beach, his men were scattered.	10
13	75	I turned and looked up the beach.	10
13	81	By the binding fiber on their throat I pulled them loose and led them back to the beach.	10
13	228	I took the girl by the hair and, holding her bent over, as one holds a female slave by the hair, waded up the beach.	10
13	252	I stood on the beach, and looked at the ruins of my camp.	10
13	368	I then, speaking no more with them, strode from the beach and entered the forest.	10
14	197	I recalled how they had, on the beach, laughed and jested with the men of Tyros.	10
18	3	He stood alone, high on the beach, his sandals on its pebbles, a lonely figure.	10
18	6	He had then stumbled down the beach, falling twice, until he came to the shallows and the sand, among driftwood, stones and damp weed, washed ashore in the morning tide.	10
18	10	Then, as the water moved again, in the stirrings of Thassa, the sea, in its broad swirling sweep touching the beach, he lifted his head and stood upright, the water about his ankles.	10
18	16	And then he turned about, and, slowly, step by step, marking the drier sand with his wet sandals, made his way again back up the beach.	10
18	35	His men, fifty-five men of Tyros, some falling, made their way down the beach, across the stones, to the edge of the water.	10
18	76	I heard the cries of gladness of Hura's girls as they emerged through the trees and came to the beach.	10
18	101	I saw her dragging the girls down the beach toward the water.	10
18	107	Marlenus straightened and, proudly, naked, a chain on his neck, his wrists manacled behind him, took his way down the beach toward the water.	10
18	151	I looked down to the beach.	10
18	168	They placed this wood at a point on the beach some twenty yards above the line of high tide, forming with it a great beacon.	10
18	181	One end they forced into the ground high on the beach, among the stones.	10
18	185	Across the open side, wood was gathered for animal fires, facing the beach.	10
18	186	This shelter would protect them from arrows, should they come, from the forest, and, by means of the fires, should discourage the too-close approach of either panthers or sleen, which animals, in any case, seldom leave the forest, seldom prowl on the beach.	10
18	196	In a moment, like a wind-torn explosion, flame leaped in a breadth of a dozen feet on the still shores, on that lonely beach, of Thassa.	10
18	290	They knelt before the figure in the yellow of Tyros who stood with the whip, waiting for them, on the beach.	10
18	302	He had not expected danger from the seaward side of the beach.	10
18	303	There were many large, flattish, rounded stones on the beach.	10
18	307	I looked across the beach, some two hundred yards, to the palisade.	10
18	321	They leaped to their feet and, still tied together by the neck, in their tattered woolen tunics, followed me along the beach.	10
18	328	The wood we left behind us on the beach.	10
18	335	I then dragged it down to the beach and threw it on the great pile of wood which I, and Cara and Tina, had accumulated.	10
18	355	At the fringe of the forest, overlooking the sloping beach, covered with its stones, and, lower, with its sand, I found a strong, slender tree, with an outjutting branch some five feet from the ground, the branch facing away from the water.	10
18	409	We three stood together on the beach, on the sands, among the stones, and observed Thassa, the murmuring, gleaming, elemental vastness, Thassa, the sea, said in the myths to be without a farther shore.	10
18	432	On the beach it was quiet, a calm night, in early summer.	10
18	443	Together we picked our way down the beach, across the stones, across the soft sands, until we came to the side of the great accumulation of branches and driftwood which we had earlier prepared.	10
18	448	I expected, however, because of the dangers of the shores of Thassa, and the importance of their mission, the Rhoda and Tesephone, though they might lie at anchor, would not make a beach camp.	10
18	461	This makes it easier to beach them than would otherwise be the case.	10
18	608	Again the men of Tyros, on the beach, did not notice the log, perhaps from some island or jutting point, washing into shore, some yards from them.	10
19	2	I stood in the darkness, on the beach, clad in the yellow of Tyros.	10
19	13	"Captain!" We stood some hundred yards from the palisade erected by the men of Tyros, south of it, on the beach.	10
19	17	Many of them took up positions about the palisade; others scouted the beach to the north, and the nearby forest edges.	10
19	20	I could see a group of five men, one with a torch, making their way toward me across the beach.	10
19	27	Men now streamed past me, to scout the beach to the south.	10
19	38	The sea and the beach, with their openness, gave them protection.	10
19	41	I could not pin them inside the stockade without exposing myself, and doing so from the beach or shore, and then, of course, they might depart from the stockade secretly from the rear.	10
19	42	I did not wish to expose myself on the beach, permitting them the cover of the forest.	10
19	67	"He is alone," said a man, reporting back from the beach to the south.	10
19	79	"The beach is clear to the north," said another man, coming up to Sarus.	10
20	299	Through the cracks in the gate, at the beach, beside the embers of Sarus' great beacon, I could see lanterns.	10
20	300	Two longboats, filled with men, were being drawn on the beach.	10
21	164	As soon as the men of Marlenus, sixty-seven of them, and the balance of my men, eight, had been freed, they had trekked to the beach followed by the women, with the slave chain.	10
22	1	There is a Fair Wind for Port Kar The wind was cold that swept along the stony beach.	10
22	7	From the blankets I looked across the beach, to the stockade, which had been that of Sarus.	10
22	21	It would then be forgotten, what had taken place on this beach.	10
22	166	This morning, hands tied behind her back, in a longboat, I had had her brought to the beach to be disposed of.	10
22	204	Yesterday, she had returned of her own free will to the beach, and in her power, a captive panther woman, whose name was Hura.	10
22	215	They stood on the beach, among the stones, rubbing their wrists.	10
22	231	In an Ahn, the girls of Verna knelt before her on the beach.	10
22	236	She strode before them on the beach, looking at them.	10
22	252	He threw her over his shoulder and walked to the sand at the foot of the beach.	10
22	378	He began to leave the beach.	10
22	397	She stood on the beach.	10
22	464	She flung it to him, and sped down the beach laughing, toward the longboat that would take us back to the Tesephone.	10
22	472	He dragged her, holding her by the hair under water until he came to the beach.	10
22	503	The wind, sweeping across the beach, was cold.	10
22	539	We stood, the two groups of men on the beach.	10
22	560	We observed them departing, southward, down the long, curved stony beach.	10
22	563	They did so, leaving the logs strewn on the beach.	10
22	637	Marlenus had said that the wind on the beach was cold, and had stung his eyes.	10
22	674	To my amazement, one after another of the girls then ran down the beach.	10
22	676	Last to run down the beach was Rena, whom I had once touched long ago, in Marlenus' camp.	10
22	779	I looked to the stony beach.	10
22	784	I sat high on the beach, wrapped in blankets, in the captain's chair, cold.	10
22	787	I turned back to the beach.	10
22	874	"I have caught two women!" I saw one of my men, one of those set at guard about the beach.	10
22	939	On the western coast of Thassa, high above Lydius, on a remote, stony beach, a beacon burned, marking a place on the coast where there had once stood a stockade, where men had fought, where deeds had transpired.	10
22	991	In the distance I could see light in the sky, the illumination from the beacon which I had ordered set on a remote, deserted beach, high above Lydius on the coast of Thassa.	10
22	993	Perhaps it served simply to mark a place on the beach, which, for a time, the flames might remember.	10

29	1	A Saurian is Encountered It was some days later, perhaps five, for the records are unclear on the point, that Cabot and his pretty beast reached the sloping shores, and the graveled beach, against whose stones lapped the waters of Lake Fear.	10
29	11	"What is fearful about this place?" "See these lines in the beach," said Cabot.	10
29	13	I am told there are saurians here, and they will come upon occasion to the beach".	10
29	243	This trove of combustibles had been fetched earlier by the slave, while Cabot had investigated the beach, and prowled within the forest, discovering however no sign of Lord Grendel or the Lady Bina.	10
30	28	He then lay on the beach, beside her, and she inched to him, and pressed her body against his.	10

32	252	"The beach is muchly open".	10
32	273	Shortly thereafter Grendel joined them on the beach, some blankets over his shoulder, a long ax in his right hand, and some strips of tharlarion dangling from his left hand.	10

4	61	In approaching the shore, I had left an easy trail leading to the beach, but had then doubled back, and waited in the shelter of some trees, a few yards back, and to the side, from which point of relative concealment I could both survey the beach and monitor my original trail.	10

2	250	"It is surprising to encounter one here, for the beach is lonely," I said.	10
2	474	The ship would not beach.	10
3	534	My slave and I were set down on the beach, doubtless to be met.	10
3	792	For my part, I knew that the Priest-Kings, for some reason, had arranged to have me set down on the beach, which was not far away, no more than a quarter of a pasang from this hut.	10
3	794	On the morrow, I would go again to the beach, to the point where I had been landed.	10
3	801	In storms, many would beach.	10
3	803	I decided that on the morrow I would return to the beach.	10
4	15	The beach seemed deserted.	10
4	40	In moving to the beach I had, as was my training, been alert to a variety of particulars, movements and shadows, the integrity of brush, the branches overhead, the nature of the ground underfoot, was a leaf pressed down here and there, was that a pebble possibly dislodged, such things.	10
4	62	As I expected, Constantina was moving toward the beach.	10
4	64	Rather she was just moving cautiously, directly, toward the beach.	10
4	70	That Constantina had come to the beach, to spy on me, suggested to me that either the agent, or agents, of Priest-Kings had not yet arrived, and Constantina was concerned to detect their presence, or, if they had arrived, and been disposed of, Constantina was unaware of that fact.	10
4	89	She was looking toward the beach, and, forward, from side to side.	10
4	110	I then drew her by the right arm, she stumbling, to the edge of the trees, at the border of the beach.	10
4	444	It would not beach.	10
5	2	The longboat did not beach.	10
5	225	The agent of Priest-Kings was to have contacted me yesterday, I supposed, the day I had arrived on the beach, disembarked from Peisistratus's ship.	10
5	270	And the beach was open several yards behind me.	10
5	398	It was at this time that I, facing the sea, looked to my left, several hundred yards down the beach, and, too, several yards out to sea.	10
5	409	Some boxes, too, perhaps supplies, of one sort or another, were cast overboard, and these were being guided by wading men to the shore, where they were drawn up on the beach.	10
5	424	Doubtless they were to be met, in one way or another, either at the beach, or later, in the forest.	10
5	556	"But he asked, again, and again, in his slow, childlike way, who now, be it only in name, ruled in Ar," said one of the men on the beach, "and the partisans took council, and decided to risk the disclosure, though they knew not what effect it might have".	10
5	618	"We soon heard," said one of the men on the beach, "that a banner had been unfurled".	10
5	688	At this there was a coursing of rude, cruel, unfeeling mirth amongst the rough fellows on the beach.	10
5	709	The cargo had not been brought much onto the beach and, as they were, on all fours, the cool surf washed up about them, swirling about their feet and knees, and covering their hands to the wrist.	10
5	912	"We, and hundreds of fugitives, with loot, and baggage, and slaves, attached ourselves to these units, and clung to the perimeters of their camps," said one of the fellows on the beach.	10
5	953	"It seems so," said a man, looking about the beach, after the departing vessel, then to the looming forest.	10
5	983	"I think," said Torgus, "we ought not to remain too long on the beach".	10
5	1029	The beach was apparently more open than was to his liking.	10
5	1070	I stepped back, a little, amongst the fellows on the beach.	10
5	1109	Several of the fellows on the beach looked uneasily at one another.	10
5	1122	I noted that the slaves stole glances at several of the fellows on the beach.	10
6	1	We Trek the Forest It was the afternoon of the day following the encounters on the beach, first with Sullius Maximus, and later with Torgus, the fee fighter, or mercenary, and his cohorts.	10
6	65	It would be like picking up shells on the beach.	10
7	202	"Yesterday, on the beach," I said, "I heard one".	10
8	91	I had little doubt this was a fellow of the sort of whom I had heard yesterday on the beach, the sort spoken of as "strange men".	10
8	342	Indeed, that was one of the reasons I had shortened her tunic on the beach.	10
11	202	"As I recall," I said, "on the beach, several days ago, you informed me that you were, at that time, a virgin".	10
11	351	"There was a brunette on the chain of a fellow named Torgus, whom I met on the beach.	10
12	89	I did know that Priest-Kings had wished me debouched on the beach at the designated coordinates, and so they would have had something in mind for me, but what I did not know.	10
12	252	I supposed that some of the slaves brought in by Torgus and his fellows, whom I had encountered on the beach, former free women of Ar, might, if not yet disposed of to private masters, be found on the mats of the slave house.	10
13	23	Torgus, the mercenary leader whom I had met on the beach earlier, had rented some of these, former high women of Ar, to the house.	10
13	31	She whom I sought, and had considered buying for Pertinax, was she whom I had noted on the chain of Torgus, on the beach, kneeling with others, neck-chained, in the surf and sand, she who had seemed most ready or needful, she whom I thought would be the first to plead for a man's touch.	10
13	323	I met your party on the beach".	10
13	351	I had heard that, too, from Torgus, on the beach.	10
13	404	That had been clear when she had knelt at the beach, the cold surf coming and going, washing up, now and again, about her thighs, feet, and calves.	10

32	14	Some mercenaries, I supposed, who did not die on the beach, would be forced back, wading, fighting, into the river, to die there and be washed downstream.	10

37	40	Hundreds of men were gathered on the beach, and slaves, too.	10
38	247	I could see the column forming now, east of the wharf, on the beach.	10
38	504	The boat which had come from the other side of the river had now drawn up on the beach, below the wharf.	10

38	561	These were the cargo which had been brought to the beach from the opposite side of the river.	10
38	572	The coffle was then ordered to its feet, and it struggled to stand, barefoot, on the cold beach.	10

22	71	The galley's bow swung toward the beach, and Cabot, from the helm, called the stroke, and, water running from the lifted and dipping oar blades, the galley crested the night waters, and sped, like a gull, toward the torches and confusion on the beach.	10
9	459	We waited for the morning, on the beach, to die.	10
9	494	I had understood little or nothing of that of which Tajima, the rider, had spoken, that about night, a battle, the waiting at the beach, and such.	10

22	1	What Occurred on the Beach "Slaughter!" I heard cry.	10
22	3	It was shortly after the first Ahn, and, when I raced up the companionways to the open deck, it was still dark, though there were dozens of torches on the beach.	10
22	11	There seemed madness on the beach, men crowded together toward the shore, trying to board small boats.	10
22	14	"What is going on?" I said, to anyone, for there were several about, trying to see the beach, perhaps as unclear as I was, as to the confusion, the motion of the torches.	10
22	73	As we made our way through the small boats, most moving toward the ship, we began to hear the cries on the beach, the clash of metal.	10
22	74	It was now clear that quarterless war, red with blood, reigned upon the beach.	10
22	75	Some hundreds of our men, in lines, were being forced back, away from the high beach, and the defile, toward the water.	10
22	82	We were some dozen or so feet from the beach.	10
22	107	Once on the beach he paused only to issue similar instructions to Pertinax and Turgus.	10
22	133	There were many torches high in the defile, above the beach.	10
22	159	In the distance up the beach, toward the defile, I heard a drum.	10
22	167	There were, facing the enemy, some seven or eight lines of our men, strung across an arc of the beach, some seventy yards in width, defending frontally and on the flanks.	10
22	168	Behind this wall of steel, its interwoven columns seething forward and backward, giving way, and pressing back, the men at the beach were seeking flight.	10
22	199	Far off in the defile, above the beach, I could see, as before, a large number of torches.	10
22	219	Archery, later, as the forces had come together, had been substantially discontinued, save for occasional desultory fire, largely undirected, over the heads of the combatants, at generally unseen targets, often out of range, toward the beach.	10
22	263	Some new fellows were behind us, almost as shadows, and, down at the beach, some others, I sensed, might have been approaching.	10
22	271	A fellow two or three men to my left, suddenly turned and fled toward the beach.	10
22	334	There were now three galleys at the beach, and several small boats.	10
23	42	Whereas we had lost no tarns in the recent tragedy of the ill-advised landing, we had suffered a severe loss of men, Pani and otherwise, in the fighting, in the defile, and later, on the beach.	10
23	43	Had it not been for the stubborn rear-guard action of Lord Nishida and others, later reinforced from the ship, and the hasty, nocturnal, massive evacuation of our trapped forces from the beach, it seems clear that the enterprise of Lords Nishida and Okimoto, whatever might be its nature, would have ...	10
23	50	Some of our casualties, of course, had not taken place in the defile, or on the beach, but in the water, presumably at the side of the boats, or in an attempt to swim to the ship from shore.	10
23	51	I had witnessed at least one attack, what I could see of it, of a marine predator, most likely a shark, within a few yards of the beach.	10
23	74	"We received some hint of that at the beach".	10
23	117	"On the beach," I said, "they have met the foe, and have some sense of his prowess and numbers".	10

9	51	We were brought to the deck, and then, when the ship had the beach abeam, and was a few yards from shore, we were plunged over the rail, and found ourselves awash in the surf.	10
9	59	I could see the beach before me, which was a mix of sand and rock.	10
9	64	Naturally I had no idea where we were, other than on some remote beach, in the north.	10
9	118	"Approach," we were told, and, gratefully, we then stood on the beach, beside the disembarked cargo of the small vessel.	10
9	123	I supposed one part of the beach and one part of the forest was not much different from other parts.	10
9	291	Why, I wondered, should they be so superior? I supposed they might well have been brought to the beach, earlier, as we, in no more than collars and chains.	10
9	396	We then began to leave the beach, and approach the trees.	10
9	397	Before we entered the trees, I looked back, briefly, at the cold beach, and the restless, shimmering expanse of Thassa, and the horizon beyond it.	10
10	1	I had expected the two ships to beach together, but they had not.	10
14	157	"Their purpose was made clear to us, on the beach, and, later, in the camp".	10
15	73	It reminded me of the roars, though they had been from a much greater distance, I had heard on the beach, and, twice, in my journey to this place, through the forest.	10
15	442	The journey from the cold, stony beach of Thassa, brushed by the wind, to Tarncamp had taken the better part of four days, and the similar journey from Tarncamp to Shipcamp had been much the same.	10
29	116	"We will keep you for a marketing beach, on the coast," she said.	10

50	285	At the edge of the shore, there were several small boats tied in place, to stakes anchored in the beach, some, long boats, propelled by several oars, and others, smaller boats, propelled by a pair of oars.	10
50	289	"Oh!" I cried, taken by the hair and flung down, on my back on the beach.	10
50	303	He had left the leash collar and leash on me, and now, by it, pulled me to a sitting position on the beach.	10
50	346	The oars were drawn inboard, and my captor left the boat, and, wading, drew it high, onto the beach.	10
50	351	He lifted me over the side of the small craft and set me, standing, on the beach.	10
50	355	To one side, there was a steep wooden stairway, with broad steps, leading up from the beach to the level, where I could see something of the higher parts of the walls, and the roofs, of several small buildings, and the carved points of the palings of the stockade.	10
52	195	"And we you," said one of the men, and then they began to descend the long stairway leading down to the beach.	10
52	237	Some were entering boats, long boats, six-or eight-oared, and small boats, two- oared, thrusting oars outboard, and some were partly in the water, preparing to launch the boats, and several were about, with weapons, supervising the beach.	10
52	238	It was chilly on the beach, and there was fog, flat about the surface of the stirring water, and in the sky there was smoke, drifting westward, toward Thassa.	10
52	282	There were two I now saw, farther west on the beach.	10
52	292	My captor put down his pack on the beach, and stepped away from it, and away from the small boat.	10
52	367	My captor drew a short lace from his wallet, and pointed to the beach.	10
52	384	Would it not be the same with kaiila, or verr? I became aware of men calling out, from down the beach, by the stairs.	10
52	398	Down the beach, behind us, the last of the boats were making their way across the river.	10
52	432	He then went to one of the two small boats drawn up on the beach, that other than the one my captor had apparently used, from which he had removed his pack.	10
52	443	Axel lifted Asperiche from the boat and put her half in the chill water, at the beach's edge, and she began to cry out, and shudder, and was then lifted up, wide-eyed, and placed on her back, not far from me.	10
52	931	The great bird had descended, not yards from us, on the beach.	10
52	933	How small the man appeared next to this terrible, winged monster, its broad wings restless, its head, with its fearful beak, high above the beach, moving alertly about, the large, wicked, round, shining, black eyes.	10
52	948	The tarns man made his way to the two small boats tied up on the beach.	10
52	949	He examined them, but, one supposes, found them of little interest, two boats left there, apparently abandoned on the beach.	10
52	952	He then turned about, and, again, regarded the beach, east and west, and then, again, he looked out, into the brush, to the south.	10
52	1013	"Am I as far now," he called, "as was the tarnsman on the beach?" "Farther," I called back.	10

1	32	It was with difficulty that we had managed to extricate the remnants of the landing force from the beach.	10
1	487	They were to make contact with me following my disembarkation on a designated beach north of the Alexandra, and see that I reached a rendezvous deep within the bordering northern forest, where I would be met, for some purpose unknown to them.	10

6	45	It had remained secure and undefiled even in the darkest days of the war, even before trapped Pani had mysteriously vanished from a beach several pasangs to the north.	10
7	271	"Surely you do not think it a mere happenstance that you once found yourself on a remote, unmarked beach some fifty pasangs north of the Alexandra".	10
7	274	I shuddered, for I had been landed at such a place long ago, a cold, narrow beach, bleak and stony, deserted, distant from settlements, bordering the northern forests, landed from a slaver's ship, one which had exited the locks of a steel world.	10
13	153	Had it not been for the intervention of Priest-Kings or Kurii, or both, I think the remnants of Lord Temmu's land forces would have perished on a beach long ago, rather than appearing, seemingly unaccountably, in the vicinity of Brundisium on continental Gor.	10

34	34	"In your recent parley with the false Bosk of Port Kar," said Thurnock, "before permitting him and his men, weaponless and shorn of valuables, to return to the beach, you claimed you had a Peasant Army of some five thousand men at your disposal, indeed, one being augmented daily".	10
34	42	Behold the beach.	10

49	21	In a few Ehn we had descended to the beach.	10
49	22	"The beach is now secured?" I asked Aktis.	10
49	25	"Examine the beach," I said.	10
49	50	"Let the beach be examined for messages, papers pinned to a stake, a marked board, weighted in place by a stone, words drawn in the sand".	10
49	51	Several torches were lit, and men, in lines, made their way about the beach.	10
49	69	But one might well have assumed, mistakenly, in the heat of the moment, given an appearance by the enemy, that the corsair fleet intended to attack the beach".	10
49	84	His victory on the beach would have been slight and, for most practical purposes, empty.	10
49	109	The lighter ship would approach the shore first, stern forward, and discharge scouts to survey the beach.	10
49	111	Both vessels would, in this place and time, beach stern first, permitting a quicker return to the water.	10
49	121	"Let us meet our fellows," I said, and, followed by Thurnock, Clitus, Aktis, and some others, I descended the beach.	10
49	130	"You hold the beach?" asked the voice.	10
49	132	Shortly thereafter, oars were drawn inboard, crews disembarked, and, with intermittent, soft, sliding sounds, the Tesephone and Dorna were thrust partly onto the beach.	10
50	9	The contact had been made neither with rock or wood, not with stone, nor beach, nor grating sand.	10
51	68	We could see files of helmeted men, mercenary warriors, not mariners, doubtless mercenaries embarked from the beach near Mytilene.	10
