8 210 He wanted her to be able to cry out; her cries, of course, would be muffled; they would not be discernible on the height of the fortress; they might, however, be heard by Gorm and those in the boat; too, he wanted her to be able to thrash about; this, too, would help Gorm to locate her in the darkne...

8 217 We gave Gorm time to find her and fish her out, throwing her in the boat and binding her ankles.

18 23 Through the drilled hole in the bone, some four inches below the slate point and some four inches above the base of the head, was passed a rawhide line, which lay coiled in the bottom of the boat.
Details
10
18 25 Suddenly, not more than a dozen feet from the boat, driving upward, rearing vertically, surging, expelling air in a great burst of noise, shedding icy water, in a tangle of lines and blood, burst the towering, cylindrical tonnage of the black Hunjer whale.
Details
10
18 30 The monster, as though it stood on its flukes, towered forty feet above us, the line like a tiny thread, billowing, leading downward to the boat.

18 35 The boat was half awash.

18 38 With leather buckets four men began to hurl water from the boat.

20 592 "Get a rope from the boat," said the older lad.

20 602 A bit later she was placed in a small, flat-bottomed boat, on her belly, under a tarpaulin.

20 603 In the boat were two wide, shallow, wooden buckets, each half filled with wet, glistening leeches, taken from the water, often from the stems of water plants, such as rence.

13 3 We had clambered aboard the vessel, from a small ship's boat, cutting through the masses of snarled, ropelike, blossomed vines which encircled it, covering it, almost obscuring it.
Details
10
13 33 One could almost walk upon the vines, but one could draw a small ship's boat, or raft, through them, hoping eventually to reach free water.

13 48 Why this ship and not another? I did know that he and Lord Nishida had surveyed it, from a ship's boat, this morning, as they had others, on other mornings, with the glass of the Builders.

52 281 "There should be only one boat here," said my captor, as we uneasily, "my boat," approached two, small, two-oared boats.
Details
10
25 80 I hoped to find a small boat, and make use of it.
Details
10
44 18 I resolved to go far enough inland to elude pursuit, and then, when sure of my escape, somehow cross the river, perhaps stealing a boat, perhaps building a raft, bound with vines, or even clinging to debris.
Details
10
50 310 Please show me mercy!" He then scooped me up, lightly, and carried me to one of the nearby small boats, one with two oars, and put me on my back, roughly, on the boards, at the bottom of the boat.
Details
10
50 345 In a few more Ehn, I felt the bottom of the boat grate against the shore.
Details
10
50 346 The oars were drawn inboard, and my captor left the boat, and, wading, drew it high, onto the beach.
Details
10
50 347 As I lay supine, apparently as my captor wished, I could see little but the inside of the boat, and the sky.
Details
10
50 349 So, I thought, I have, at last, managed to cross the river! He then reentered the boat and undid the ropage which had bound my ankles and legs.

26 59 Could I have done so I would have cried out, for something rose up under the canal boat, lifting it a foot from the water, and tipping it to the side, and then, scraping the bottom of the boat, it slithered away, to the right.
Details
10
33 69 When we had availed ourselves of a canal boat, we were far more aware of tharlarion in the vicinity, turning in the water, emerging and submerging, sometimes circling the boat.

10
33 379 I saw one of the bowmen on the boat discard his bow and slip over the side of the boat.
Details
10
33 649 I suspected it had come from the side of the canal boat, from the right side of the canal boat, in the darkness, and somehow, in the mix of waters, that of the exiting freshwater flow of the Vosk, draining through the marsh, and the incoming, rising tide of the Tamber, had turned and moved behind me...

8 865 "I see nothing!" Suddenly I did see that the long boat which was being lowered into the water, tilted wildly, and splashed down.
Details
10
8 896 The long boat was swarming with men, in the craft and clinging to it.
Details
10
8 897 I saw more than one fellow in the boat slash with a knife at those trying to climb into it.

8 899 The long boat was low in the water, the waves lapping at its gunwales.

8 903 I saw the long boat turn, tip, and capsize, twenty or more men then clinging to the inverted hull, another twenty or so about it.
Details
10
8 905 Men in the water, some cursing, struggled to right the boat.

8 920 The long boat had now been righted, and some twelve or so men, perhaps as many as fourteen or fifteen, had climbed aboard.

8 937 I looked out at the horror some yards away, at the rocking, awash, beleaguered long boat, the struggles, the knives and clubs, the bloodied waters, the screaming men, the stirrings about of inquiring sharks.

10
11 95 When an urt is sighted, the girl moves closer to the boat.
Details
10
11 105 As the girl is attached to the boat by the rope, she is seldom in great danger.

11 106 She may even be dragged to the boat, the urt still clinging to her body.

10
26 1 What Occurred in the Marshes I now knelt, bound, in the bow of the small canal boat, and Bruno of Torcadino, in the stern, quietly, slowly, manipulated the single oar.
Details
10
26 9 At times we made our way through rence, it brushing the sides of the boat.
Details
10
26 10 In many places the rence is well above, sometimes several feet above, the sides of the boat.
Details
10
26 23 Would one explain one's intentions to a verr, a tarsk, a slave girl? He had rented a small canal boat.
Details
10
26 55 We had not, as I previously noted, lit the small lantern on the prow of our canal boat.
Details
10
26 81 Perhaps, I thought, it is just as well that Bruno of Torcadino had refrained from lighting the small lantern on the prow of the canal boat.
Details
10
26 101 But scarcely had the small boat reached the wall of rence than Bruno of Torcadino's hand rested on the oar.
Details
10
26 109 I wondered if it might not have been something else, another canal boat, or, say, one of the small Rencer ships, made of woven rence.
Details
10
26 116 He set his hands to the oar, and the boat moved.
Details
10
26 117 I heard the rence brush against the sides of the boat.
Details
10
27 9 In the canal a canal boat passed.

10
29 22 In the morning, usually in a small boat, the disputants or contestants are brought to the skerry with a serving of meat and drink.

10
33 18 The previous few nights Bruno of Torcadino had essayed this journey, as previously, in a canal boat.
Details
10
33 23 The canal boat is too large.
Details
10
33 26 Why can we not do so, as well? A canal boat is easily seen and avoided, a rence craft not so.
Details
10
33 68 The difference, I suspect, was in our vessel, the rence craft as opposed to a canal boat.
Details
10
33 70 Sometimes they brushed against, or prodded, the boat.
Details
10
33 71 One had risen up under the boat, tipping it.
Details
10
33 93 Then I could see, in its own lights, one at the stern, one at the bow, a large canal boat.
Details
10
33 94 In the canal boat were some seven or eight men, mostly sitting.
Details
10
33 100 Two men were in the stern, one standing, propelling and guiding the boat with its single oar and one near him, cloaked and hooded, sitting.
Details
10
33 107 The man in the bow, not looking back, lifted his hand, and the oarsman ceased to ply his oar, and the boat drifted a few yards forward into the lakelike clearing in the rence.
Details
10
33 112 For about an Ehn the boat rocked in place.
Details
10
33 124 Some yards before the canal boat the waters stirred, swelling up, and then parted, revealing, shedding water, a rising, monstrous head.
Details
10
33 129 The grip of such jaws could tear loose the side from a canal boat, or bite a rence craft in two.
Details
10
33 130 In the light of the forward lantern on the canal boat I saw the reflection of light on metal teeth and fangs.
Details
10
33 136 It could easily evade and outdistance the canal boat.
Details
10
33 141 It had responded to the signal of the man in the bow of the canal boat.
Details
10
33 146 Very gently, I remaining still, Bruno of Torcadino moved our rence craft closer to, but to the right side and behind, the canal boat.

33 147 None in the canal boat, as far as I could discern, were aware of our presence.

33 167 "Much cannot be helped, great lord," said the fellow in the bow of the canal boat.
Details
10
33 172 Despite the might and horror of the object to which he addressed himself, there was neither reluctance nor apology, nor cringing, nor fear, in the tone of the man in the bow of the canal boat.
Details
10
33 182 "I make no excuses," said the man in the bow of the canal boat.
Details
10
33 186 The two lights on the canal boat, one at the stern, one at the prow, were reflected in the water, shimmering there, and were reflected, as well, from the metal plates or scales, of the hideous monstrosity but yards away.
Details
10
33 187 I wondered if it were wise to have the lanterns on the boat lit.
Details
10
33 189 Perhaps the difference was the size of the canal boat, the number of men aboard, or even the complacency, or confidence, of those aboard.

33 209 Who would have dared to conceal the most coveted of jewels in the setting of a metal collar? And who, while thousands sought her in secret places, would dare to place her where she would least be suspected, in public, in a public tavern, almost within his purview, as a common slave?" "Few would know...

33 211 "With him," said the man in the bow of the boat, "I have an ancient score to settle".
Details
10
33 219 "On this world," said the man in the bow of the boat, "there is a quaint social artifact, taken seriously be some.
Details
10
33 224 "It is overcome in the third of the Nine Steps of Blood," said the man in the boat.
Details
10
33 235 "But fallible," said the man in the boat.
Details
10
33 241 "Who is wanted as a traitor to Ar, a betrayer of its Home Stone, a fugitive from proscription," said the man in the boat.
Details
10
33 245 "We needed only keep him under surveillance," said the man in the boat.
Details
10
33 249 "It will require men to storm that place," said the man in the boat, "several men".
Details
10
33 253 "To whence?" asked the man in the boat.
Details
10
33 258 "And the common thread amongst them, soon suspected, would be the undoing of our hopes," said the man in the boat.
Details
10
33 261 I was terrified in the bow of the tiny rence craft, so near now to the canal boat, and the dread thing of such terrible mien, illuminated in the light of the two lanterns.
Details
10
33 268 "Not every brigand will do," said the man in the boat.
Details
10
33 274 "Much has already been arranged," said the man in the boat.
Details
10
33 278 "I think neither easily nor too remotely," said the man in the boat.
Details
10
33 281 "Surely none," said the man in the boat.
Details
10
33 284 "It takes time to craft a crossbow, the stock and trigger, the sheaves of metal, the cable," said the man in the boat, "but, once built, its quarrel may be loosed in an instant".
Details
10
33 286 "The quarry in our power," said the man in the boat, "much, thereafter, could be restored".
Details
10
33 288 "From now, some days," said the man in the boat.
Details
10
33 290 "Time takes time, expedition is afoot," said the man in the boat.
Details
10
33 292 The man in the boat spun about, suddenly.
Details
10
33 293 Consternation shook within the boat.
Details
10
33 296 In that moment, seeing the man in the boat, turned about, his face illuminated in the light of the bow lantern, I realized I had seen him before, in the apartment of Dorna of Tharna, the Proud.
Details
10
33 305 "Quarrels," said the man in the boat, and quarrels were set in the guides of bows.
Details
10
33 306 "Do not fire," said Addison Steele, clutching the rail of the canal boat.
Details
10
33 316 "Prepare," said the man in the boat.
Details
10
33 323 "Aim!" said the man in the boat, and I saw the crossbows of his followers align themselves, most on Bruno of Torcadino, two upon me.
Details
10
33 328 Our most secret and finest plans may be in jeopardy!" "We need not fear what they know," said the man in the boat, "if it perishes in the marshes".
Details
10
33 331 "Bows down," said the man in the boat, his voice sullen with rage.
Details
10
33 357 "Aim!" cried the man in the boat, he who had been addressed by the name 'Pa-Kur'.
Details
10
33 367 Some men, with torches and drawn swords clambered over the side of the canal boat and were wading about.
Details
10
33 368 Two others, with armed crossbows, surveyed the water from the canal boat.
Details
10
33 384 I realized I was being forced back toward the canal boat.
Details
10
33 388 It was the fellow who had slipped over the side of the boat a few moments ago.
Details
10
33 427 I was half carried, half dragged, to the side of the canal boat, and men reached down and hauled me aboard.
Details
10
33 428 I knelt amongst the feet of the men, my head down to the deck of the canal boat.
Details
10
33 430 "What of he who named himself Bruno of Torcadino?" demanded Pa-Kur of his men, who were now muchly returned to the canal boat.
Details
10
33 516 One light was at the stern of the canal boat, the other at its bow.
Details

Details
10
33 553 I had slipped through the gouged, splintered wood, to the side, the boat tilting.
Details
10
33 555 The canal boat was then behind me, listing.
Details
10
33 662 In the attack of the Ul, the night before, the canal boat of the Assassin, Pa-Kur, had been muchly damaged.
Details
10
33 668 Some of the canal boat's debris, given currents and such, had apparently taken much the same course that I had followed in my flight.
Details
10
35 16 A moment later the propelling oar moved, and the canal boat was underway.
Details
10
35 42 I was lifted from the canal boat and felt stone tiles beneath my feet.
Details
10
37 33 How should I know where I was? I had been brought here, hooded, in a canal boat and only relieved of the hood on the walkway.
Details
10
37 69 One then steps from the boat directly into the house.
Details
10
37 151 "I am sure there is a guard boat with guardsmen about," said Florian.
Details
10
37 155 I did not recollect seeing such a boat.
Details
10
37 161 "What luck! Approaching even now is a guard boat".
Details
10
37 170 Miles raised his hand, waving, summoning the guard boat to the edge of the canal.
Details
10
37 176 The boat came gently to the side of the canal.
Details
10
37 201 I suddenly recognized one of the fellows still in the boat.
Details
10
37 215 "Lady?" asked the other fellow who had emerged from the boat, who seemed the senior of the two who were now on the walkway.
Details
10
37 219 "Do you seek to bribe guardsmen of Port Kar?" asked a man in the boat, bearded, with a silver slash on his helmet.
Details
10
37 245 He raised his hands from the canal boat, toward her, and she bent down, extending her hands, parallel, to hand him the coins.
Details
10
37 261 The subordinate meanwhile slapped slave bracelets on her held wrists, and the officer pulled her down, into the canal boat, and put her to her stomach.
Details
10
37 264 His two men descended from the walkway, slipping into the boat.
Details
10
37 267 I was facing the boat.
Details
10
37 268 I felt Florian's sandaled foot against my fundament, pressing, and he gave me a vigorous push, and I, so impelled, half stumbled, half fell, into the canal boat which, even then, as Florian boarded, was drawing away from the walkway.
Details
10
39 93 "What is the meaning of this? Let me go! Free me! What are you going to do? Stop! Stop!" One of the guards entered, one I recognized from the canal boat, carrying Dorna in his arms.
Details
10
39 109 Two more men entered the room below, Miles, whom I knew from the holding, and he who had been the seeming officer on the canal boat, whom I shall refer to as "the officer".
Details
10
42 1 An Alarm is Given; A Ruse is Enacted; The Bridge of Boats; A Large Canal Boat Casts Off "I hear it!" said Cella.
Details
10
42 206 "That slave is naked," said a man, interposing himself between a canal boat and Vas of Anango.
Details
10
42 228 Tethered at the side of the canal, near them, was an oared, half-covered, half-canopied, canal boat containing some nine or ten men.
Details
10
42 244 Her lips silently framed the question, "Zia?" In the meantime, Seremides had apparently said something to one of the men in the boat because he had ascended to the walkway.
Details
10
42 248 In a moment she was bound and gagged, and thrust under the half-canopy of the boat.
Details
10
42 269 At a gesture from Seremides, Vas of Anango lifted me up, and, with a jangle of bells, cast me into the arms of a fellow on the canal boat.
Details
10
43 10 A small, single-oared canal boat, of the sort typical of Port Kar, was passing us.
Details
10
43 45 Another canal boat slipped past us, presumably on its way toward the delta wall, perhaps even to the delta-gate market.
Details
10
43 55 "There," said the man whom I took to be the leader of our crew, pointing forward, "the Southern Gate!" A long canal boat, much like ours, was near the Southern Gate, at a pier to its right.
Details
10
43 61 "That boat," said the man, pointing.
Details
10
43 68 "This boat is not armored," said the man.
Details
10
43 85 "When I hired this boat, I anticipated the possibility of such a contingency.
Details
10
43 86 This boat may not be armored, but it is heavily timbered, and the bow is reinforced with iron".
Details
10
43 87 "The boat is going to pass us," said an oarsman, looking about.
Details
10
43 99 It was true, another large canal boat, which had apparently been lurking outside the Southern Gate, now made its appearance, to the left.
Details
10
43 116 This occurrence was not missed by several of the oarsmen who, naturally, all faced the stern of the boat.
Details
10
43 124 Now, stroke!" The boat lunged ahead.
Details
10
43 130 Then we were beyond the turning, crippled boat, pathetic, like a bird with a broken wing.
Details
10
43 163 Then the boat shook and rolled, free in the troubled, stirring waters of the Tamber Gulf.
Details
10
43 166 "The first boat comes about, pursues!" I looked back.
Details
10
43 167 The shearing on the one side of the boat of Decius of Venna had snapped oars but not torn open the strakes.
Details
10
43 168 Half the oars on the uninjured side of the boat had been repositioned to provide the craft with a symmetry of leverage.
Details
10
43 175 The canal boat was buffeted to one side, and was washed back, and then, again and again, it was lifted, and then fell back, dropping between waves.
Details
10
43 215 Somewhere behind, I supposed, the handicapped canal boat of Decius of Venna struggled in our wake.
Details
10
43 216 I wondered if it had stopped to take aboard the men in the water, the crew of the boat which had sought to block our passage through the Southern Gate.
Details
10
43 225 The canal boat was not only tormented by the rain and spray, but, from the splash of the waves, had shipped water.
Details
10
43 264 I awakened to a cheer, and, half an Ahn later, our canal boat scraped against wood.
Details
10
45 35 Euphrosyne and I, as one, leapt through the rear curtains of the canopied area, were amongst the stern thwarts of the boat, and scrambled over the rail, and onto the pier.
Details
10
45 38 But, ela, no way was open before us! We had scarcely sped three or four mad, wild, desperate yards when we were intercepted by the gathered men, seized by the arms, and faced back, toward the moored boat.
Details
10
45 147 I caught sight of Decius of Venna, emerging from one boat, followed by men, and Addison Steele, from another, with Florian, of the holding of Bosk of Port Kar, and Miles, too, of that holding.
Details
10
46 406 "Then strip her, and bind her, hand and foot and put her on the floor of the waiting canal boat, that bearing the design of the holding of Bosk.
Details
10
46 513 Euphrosyne was doubtless on the floor of a canal boat, moored nearby, supine or prone, stripped, and bound hand and foot.
Details
10
46 682 A bit later, Addison Steele hailed a passing canal boat with its pilot.
Details
10
47 223 "I managed to seize a piece of drifting wreckage, from Pa-Kur's canal boat," I said, "and utilized it to free myself".
