6	90	Then, from the scarred, half-shattered, smoke-blackened stern castle of the Tina, first from one trumpet, lifted by a fellow who was little more than a boy, and then from another, and from another, there resounded notes of defiance.	10

6	108	"Ships! Ships astern!" cried an officer from the stern castle.	10

10	32	I saw the flags run out on the stem-castle lines of the Tuka.	10
10	39	On the stem castle of the Tuka stood Miles of Vonda, one who was not of the river towns, and one who was almost certain to be unknown to the denizens of the holding.	10
10	43	I did not think that even Sirnak, who was a captain of Policrates, he who, with Reginald, had waylaid the Flower of Siba, should he still be in the holding, would be likely to be able to identify him, to detect in the bearded ruffian on the stem castle of the Tuka the former refugee landowner from V...	10

16	215	With the heel of my right hand under his chin I smashed his head back into the wood of the stem castle.	10
16	219	Policrates was crying out orders on the height of the stem castle above me.	10
16	220	I thrust the sword into the wood above me, where I could seize it, and, putting my feet and hands into the ornate carving of the stem castle, climbed a yard and a half from the deck.	10
16	251	"Back oars!" screamed Policrates, on the stem castle.	10
16	257	Callimachus looked up the stairs to the height of the stem castle.	10

16	327	I hastened down the deck and raced up the stairs to the stern castle.	10
16	344	I dragged him back by his ankles to the center of the small, high deck of the stern castle, where I put him on his belly.	10

20	410	I heard a battle horn sound, from the stern castle of the Tais.	10
21	10	Aemilianus sat on the deck, rather before the steps leading up to the helm deck and, above that, to the height of the stern castle, leaning against a backrest of canvas and rope.	10
21	1532	I then proceeded farther forward, taking my way beside free women, and some children, and climbed to the tiny bow deck, forward of the stem castle, immediately behind the prow.	10
24	117	"My place, now," said Calliodorus, "is on the stern castle".	10

38	669	I made my way upward, from deck to deck, emerged onto the open deck, and went aft, to the stern castle.	10

39	23	It was alleged to be Aëtius, who was often seen on the stern castle, but I was uneasy in this matter, as I knew him, rather, as of the shipwrights.	10
40	31	I joined Lord Nishida, and Aëtius, at the stern castle.	10
40	169	Lord Nishida, I, and Pertinax, standing at the rail of the stern castle, lifted our hands.	10

21	190	I think they remained amidships not only to better monitor the fevers of the day, less accessible from the stem castle or stern castle, but to dispatch their guardsmen in case of need, perhaps to quell some disorder, or batten down hatches, keeping many below decks.	10

2	4	We detected it first, by the glass of the Builders, from the stem castle, far off, through the fog, not clear, seemingly risen from the sea as might a mountain, as the islands that Thassa sometimes lifts from her bosom, in southern waters, with a roiling of waves, a casting of stones, and smoke and ...	10
5	361	I looked forward, to the stem castle, to discern the reason for their awe.	10
5	362	There, on the stem castle, behind its aft rail, a small figure, bent and twisted, stood, in cloak and mariner's cap, looking to windward, to the north.	10
8	11	On the stem castle, one could see the small, misshapen figure of Tersites, hidden in furs, pacing from side to side, sometimes howling in rage, sometimes pausing to shake small, gnarled fists at the thick, white expanse, like rock, that stretched about us.	10
10	113	On the stem castle I saw the small, crooked, frenetic figure of Tersites dancing, lifting his hands to Tor-tu-Gor, and going to the rail, from time to time, to shake his fists down at Thassa.	10
11	72	Tarl Cabot then followed Lord Nishida to the privacy of the stem-castle deck.	10
12	38	To be sure, in fair weather a high watch is not all that different from a deck watch, or a stem- or stern-castle watch.	10
12	88	The deck was now muchly deserted, given the darkness and weather, save for the helmsman, the stem-castle watch, the slave, and two men maintaining the deck watch.	10
12	155	One knew where its line would be from the platform and ring, rather as one knew a different horizon from the deck, and another from the stem castle.	10
12	157	A lantern was mounted near the helmsman, and another on the stem castle.	10
12	305	There would be the helmsman, and a bound slave, the stem-castle watch, and the deck watch, which was by two men, whose names I would soon discover.	10
12	360	"Man overboard!" I cried, loudly, down to the stem-castle watch, and then back to the helmsman.	10
12	747	We had scarcely moved toward the port companionway leading under the stem castle when our progress was suddenly arrested by a cry from the height of the foremast.	10
12	750	Cabot and I hurried, followed by his lantern bearer, along the narrow port passageway about the stem castle, and stood at the bow.	10
12	751	We heard others climb the steps to the stem-castle deck.	10
12	752	We heard others hurrying about the starboard passageway about the stem castle, and were soon joined at the bow.	10
12	761	By now, given the ringing of the bar, one supposed that Aëtius, and perhaps even Tersites, and the major officers quartered astern, closest to the helmsman, had come to the command deck, the stern-castle deck, whence orders might be most conveniently and immediately conveyed to the helmdeck, some...	10
12	769	There were dark figures on the stern-castle.	10
12	770	"Put about!" cried Lord Nishida to the stern-castle deck.	10
12	787	A mariner took the shipwright by the arm, and conducted him, that small, misshapen figure, protesting, struggling, from the stern-castle deck.	10

15	197	The officers' cabins are aft, some in the stern-castle itself.	10
15	198	Now that we were free of the Vine Sea, Tersites was occasionally seen, on the stern-castle deck.	10

19	71	The stem castle deck was empty.	10
19	73	Two officers were on the stern-castle deck, but, at the distance, I could not identify them.	10
19	88	I saw no change aft, on the helm deck, or the stern-castle deck.	10
19	99	The helm deck and stern-castle deck were empty.	10
19	125	There was fire on the stern-castle deck, and the bulwarks to starboard were aflame.	10

21	245	Aëtius, who handled the daily management of the ship, was on the stern-castle deck, looking forward.	10
21	247	"We expected to see a single column," said Lord Nishida, "that of yellow, which would signify that the castle of Lord Temmu still stands, that it is not yet taken.	10
21	260	"The green column," said Lord Nishida, "might indicate that an area is safe to approach, even though it might lie in the territory of Lord Yamada, no enemy being about, or that a passage has been cleared, or a castle may be approached, or such, and thus one might have green without red, but it would...	10
21	263	"It would be difficult to take his castle," said Lord Okimoto.	10
21	265	"If we hold the shore," said Lord Nishida, thoughtfully, "it would seem quite likely that the castle of Lord Temmu would still stand".	10
23	1	I First See the Castle of Lord Temmu; Landfall Will Be Made "It is there," said Tarl Cabot.	10
23	11	"I am told," said Tarl Cabot, "that is the castle of Temmu, the holding, the fortress, of the shogun, Temmu".	10
23	29	"There is a cove," said Cabot, "a harbor of sorts, protected from the sea, at the foot of a walled trail, leading upward, to the castle".	10
23	32	"I have never seen such a castle, such a fortress," I said.	10
23	92	"There may be enemies in the castle of Lord Temmu," I said.	10
23	106	"I gather," said Cabot, "that the forces with whom Lords Okimoto and Nishida are aligned are relatively few, and that little remains to Lord Temmu other than the great holding and, doubtless, some adjacent lands within its purview, which might be defended from the holding, and perhaps, as well, some...	10
24	32	I saw Tersites at the high starboard rail, that of the stem castle, looking over the side.	10
24	48	I looked up from the wharf toward the castle.	10
24	50	The walls of the narrow trail, I had supposed, were to protect the passage from the castle to the water.	10
24	51	Certainly they would deter small groups, at least, from harrying, if not closing off, that passage, from impeding, if not cutting, the connection between the castle and the sea.	10
24	54	Each was given to a single warrior, who bowed to the egg courteously, wrapped it in silk, and then began to mount the trail to the castle.	10
24	60	It took eight of the lower Pani to manage the cage up the ascent to the castle.	10
24	90	The slaves, being aligned on the wharf, each ten being fastened to the next ten, looked fearfully up the heights, at the rearing, surmounting castle far above.	10
24	275	It was a great temptation, of course, for them to look up, and ahead, toward the castle of Lord Temmu, far above.	10
24	314	The climb to the castle would be lengthy, and arduous.	10
24	322	Some bore sedan chairs, by means of which contract women might be carried to the castle.	10
24	335	Leros, and Aeacus, whom I knew from the high watches, had been in the first contingent and were doubtless already within the castle, or its walls.	10
24	359	"He is gone?" "Toward the castle," I said.	10
25	8	The thrice-walled grounds of the castle of Lord Temmu, all in all, must have occupied more than a full square pasang, extending broadly over a wide plateau, which, on one side, fell straight to the sea, and was accessible otherwise, as from the cove, by steep trails, one of which was walled, that fr...	10
25	31	I saw little of Cabot, but, from time to time, he appeared at the castle, arriving at night on tarnback, presumably to consult with the shogun, Temmu, and Lords Okimoto and Nishida.	10
25	60	There were free Pani women in the castle, perhaps companions of officers, and several contract women.	10
25	65	There were fewer slaves now, as some fifty had been taken from the castle's grounds.	10
25	66	Whereas certain things remained obscure to me, several of the lower Pani, who served in the castle, spoke to other Pani, and some of these spoke to me.	10
26	1	What Occurred in the Courtyard of the Castle of Lord Temmu It had been a good cast, from twenty yards, the javelin into the heavy post set in the courtyard.	10
26	38	During the day, of late, the gates of the castle had been open.	10
26	43	When the men chose to leave the castle, they were given marked shells, rather like ostraka.	10
26	81	On the other hand, when I looked into the slave hut, two slaves, Thetis and Iole, whom I recalled from the ship, and castle, were ankle-chained to posts in the slave hut.	10
26	85	I supposed they had hoped that I had come to return them to their kennels on the castle grounds, but I had not.	10
26	101	Several rice fields were associated with the holding of Lord Temmu, most north and west of the castle.	10
26	107	To be sure, whenever it was thought he was at the castle, rumors hastened about.	10
26	123	The fellow was pointing to a high storey of the castle, where there was a beating of wings, dark against the sky, and then the tiny bird disappeared, within.	10
26	126	Vulos who would seek this cot were carried about, for example, to the training area of the tarns somewhere back in the mountains, and, there, I had no doubt, in the mountains, were kept, in their tiny wood-barred cages, vulos which, if released, would seek as their cot and roost the very room above,...	10
26	128	There had been, of late, much traffic coming and going from that area, that mysterious room, high in the castle.	10
26	140	Even the slaves who brought the water and other supplies were not permitted near the baskets and nets, but must kneel on the boards of the wharf, until dismissed, to climb, roped together by the neck, the narrow walled-in path to the castle grounds.	10
26	148	The burdens they had borne, while not heavy for a man, would have been heavy for a woman, and the climb back to the castle from the wharf, given its twistings and its tortuous steepness, would be time consuming and difficult for either a man or woman.	10
26	250	"Perhaps I can be sold away from the castle," she said.	10
26	270	She indicated a place, across the grounds, near some shrubbery, not far from the large, central portal of the castle, perhaps fifty yards away.	10
27	5	"Let us see the trophies, and women!" cried a fellow, hurrying toward one of the plateau gates, surmounting a trail south of the castle grounds, that eventually abutting on the road leading to the largest of the three local villages.	10
27	15	Looking across the courtyard, I saw a vulo exit the castle.	10
27	20	Then, in a moment, he had descended from the parapet, striding toward the castle.	10
27	35	Thetis and Iole had been returned to the castle grounds four days ago, following their disciplinary interlude in the slave hut.	10
27	69	"No speaking!" warned a Pani warrior, within, directing the bannermen, and their attendant troops, to follow him, away from the castle.	10
27	103	I supposed Lord Temmu, who had furnished the hundred Pani who marched with the exploratory force, had some two thousand troops on which he might rely, most housed within the castle grounds.	10
27	122	"The castle is equipped, of course," said Turgus, "with reservoirs, and supplies".	10
27	151	Some had been brought to the castle from the ship.	10
30	109	I thought that Tereus might be more safe in the prison barracks than free on the castle grounds, particularly at night.	10
30	159	I did not know if Lord Yamada, or his generals, contemplated addressing the castle, or had come largely to destroy villages, and fields.	10
30	160	I knew, at least according to report, the castle had never been taken.	10
31	8	All morning and into the afternoon coffles of slave girls, ours, those brought on the great ship, and local girls, lovely, but of a low-Pani sort, kept in the castle for the pleasure of the Pani warriors, roped together, had descended to the wharf and then, laden with treasure, had been conducted up...	10
31	15	Our girls had been returned to their kennels, in the sheds, and the Pani girls to their housings within the castle.	10
32	23	"Hurry! Hurry!" cried the high, wild voice of Tersites, from the stem castle.	10
33	351	The ship had a high stern castle, and four masts.	10
36	8	For example, exquisite Pani ceramics, intricate carvings, and dyed silks, produced in the castle shops of Lord Temmu might bring silver in Brundisium, and be sold for gold in Ar and Turia, and the silver from Brundisium, in Brundisium, of course, might be exchanged for sinew, arrow points, fletching...	10
36	91	In any event, on the eve of his planned arrest, he disappeared from the castle grounds, abetted in his escape by an unknown party or parties.	10
36	92	One supposes he was given a letter of safe conduct by means of which he would make contact with, and be received by, the forces of Lord Yamada, those in the vicinity of the castle".	10
36	93	"His loss could be grievous," said the stranger, "as Tyrtaios was a high officer in the resistance, knows much of its organization, and is familiar with the defenses of the castle of Lord Temmu.	10
36	209	"And, if it returned," said the stranger, "would it not again face the torches of the castle?" "Of course," said the captain.	10
36	335	It will be mounted on the wall of the castle of Lord Temmu, for ten days, and it will then be cast amongst the soldiers below, of the forces of Lord Yamada, with instructions that it be delivered to their man, Tyrtaios.	10
36	360	I recalled, from the tale of the stranger, that some evidence had suggested that Tyrtaios, who may have had much to do with the attempted desertion, and who had disappeared from the castle of Lord Temmu, might be of the Assassins.	10
36	403	We could not guarantee your safety from such men, even at the castle".	10
37	229	"It is my understanding," he said, "from a cripple at the castle, a man named Rutilius of Ar, that the slave, Alcinoë, may have value in Ar".	10
37	1455	"A day out from the cove of the castle," said he, "we heaved to, and Tersites himself, with his own hands, poured wine, oil, and salt into the sea".	10

12	142	We were not on the dais, but within the castle, in a large room near the back portal of the castle, where I had brought the tarn down.	10
1	33	Later we had managed to attain the castle of Lord Temmu which was, indeed, still in his hands.	10
1	38	Lord Temmu had had at his disposal some two thousand warriors, all Pani, which were billeted within what was, in effect, a walled, mountaintop town, dominated by his castle, included here within what we speak of as the "holding".	10
1	53	I was not present at the time of the attack, having been summoned to the castle of Lord Temmu, that I might report on the readiness of the cavalry.	10
1	54	Needless to say, my absence at the time of the attack, despite my having been ordered to the castle, excited speculation, and suspicion.	10
1	64	"No," had said Pertinax, who had accompanied me to the castle.	10
1	71	Of the one hundred and forty tarns which we had managed to bring across Thassa to the World's End, we now had fifty one, including the two which Pertinax and I had brought to the castle weeks ago, in reporting to Lord Temmu.	10
1	73	The survivors, naturally, at least those aflight, had made their way to the castle.	10
1	149	Communication between the camp and the holding would be by tarnsmen, two or more tarns to be housed in the castle area.	10
1	150	Those in the castle area, of those supposedly informed, would assume the camp was at the convergence of the two designated streams, at least until there was a reason to believe otherwise, perhaps in virtue of a fruitless raid, loosed upon unoccupied tents, pitched on an empty field.	10
1	285	"Yet obscurity persists," said Lord Okimoto, "soft ribbons of fog, and drifting cloud, embracing the castle".	10
1	338	"Some of the command, surviving the attack, escaped on tarnback, these reporting later to the castle, and some others, it is conjectured, may have scattered into the mountains," said Lord Nishida.	10
1	405	"The gates of the castle are closed," said Lord Nishida.	10
1	503	I supposed they were kept largely indoors, where they would be in little danger, should a storming take place, or an occasional stone or looping arrow fall into the courtyard space between the walls, and the buildings and the castle itself.	10
1	522	Did they really think, I wondered, that I, or others, tarnsmen, would set a flight line directly to a camp allegedly secret, a line which, well marked, might be followed by seekers, or hunters, on foot? I had ordered my men, in leaving the castle, to choose randomly amongst pieces of silk, each insc...	10
6	44	It was easy to understand the reluctance of Yamada to destroy, or attempt to destroy, a fortress, castle, and holding as large and beautiful, and as nigh inaccessible and impregnable, as that of Lord Temmu.	10
6	154	Abandon this fortress town, this citadel, this castle.	10
7	92	Might not a climber, dark in the night, as silent as a snake, attain the parapet, cut a throat, and set meager stores ablaze? Might not a rush to a gate, up one of the high trails, perhaps that from the wharves below, be too belatedly recognized? What if a thousand fire arrows should be launched at ...	10
9	1	What Occurred in the Courtyard of the Holding; What Occurred Later at the New Encampment The banner of Lord Temmu no longer flew over the castle.	10
9	59	They swarmed into the courtyard between the inner wall and the fronting of the castle.	10
9	63	Where would be the deepest vaults and the mightiest chests? Where would lie the greatest treasures? They looked to the castle.	10
9	64	"To the castle!" they cried.	10
9	65	Then suddenly, in their hundreds, they stood still, startled, unable to move, struck with surprise, astonished, for, before them, before the portal of the castle, there stood a single figure, this even as others continued to pour over the great threshold.	10
9	74	At the same time more than a thousand mercenaries streamed forth from the barracks, sheds, ancillary buildings, and the castle itself, crying out a hundred war cries from a hundred cities.	10
11	23	"I must raise the flag at the castle," he said, "on the closing of the courtyard gates, to signal the beginning of the cavalry attack on the camp of Lord Yamada.	10
11	304	A signal of light, from either the second or third parapet, or from a window of the castle, would be far more likely to be noted".	10
12	145	They had bowed briefly, and then turned and led the way into the castle.	10
12	176	The two Ashigaru whom I had followed into the castle now stood behind me, one on each side.	10
12	302	Also, I was in the castle of the holding.	10
14	39	In a year every fortress, castle, palace, barracks, warehouse, and humble shed of our house could be collapsed and charred wood, the ashes like dry fog, borne on the wind to the sea".	10
16	41	His presence at the castle of Lord Temmu suggested that he might have arrived by means of his own tarn.	10
16	48	Given the time involved, it seemed plausible I had been transported by wagon or cart from the vicinity of the castle to the palace.	10
16	51	In any event, the tarn on which I had reached the castle of Lord Temmu must not remain in the holding.	10
16	54	I did not think that the messenger tarns held at the castle of Lord Temmu would have been used, as this might have provoked curiosity.	10
17	24	"You are inquiring if the tarn which carried you to the castle of Lord Temmu is in the vicinity, masking your interest by a reference to the saddle bow.	10
17	28	"It seems likely," I said, "your noble ally, the barbarian, Tyrtaios, reached the castle of Lord Temmu astride a tarn, secretly, by night, and likely, as well, that my tarn, for such beasts are of great worth, if it were practical, would have been acquired.	10
17	29	Certainly it would not be released, nor would it have been left at the castle.	10
44	224	The object had passed over us, and a moment later there was an explosion in the courtyard below and behind the parapets, and a geyser of dust sprang up behind us, and, almost at the same time, a twisting skewer of fire tore forth from what seemed a maw of the thing, and a segment of the castle roof,...	10
44	256	There were men on the roof of the castle, extinguishing the flames.	10
61	238	"Rutilius of Ar, one perhaps of interest to you," said Lord Nishida, "now serves in the kitchen of the castle".	10
61	610	* * * "This way," had said Lord Okimoto, leading me through one of the long corridors in the castle of Temmu, the central keep of the mountaintop holding.	10

3	1	We Set Course for Thera; I Speak with Aktis; We Encounter a Surprise at Sea I stood on the stern castle of the Dorna, Builder's Glass in hand, above the twin rudders, the small, swift Tesephone, shallow-drafted, capable of negotiating rivers, abeam.	10
3	5	The large peasant ascended the steps of the stern castle.	10
3	35	I thought this a politic delay, as shipping tends to be heavier in the vicinity of a coast, and a high-masted sail, swollen with wind, is easily detected from a stem castle, even by eye, at more than five pasangs.	10
3	143	"Ho!" cried Clitus, from the stem castle, where he stood lookout.	10
3	147	I hurried past him, down the steps, and, in my passage to the stem castle, was joined by Thurnock, who seemed as puzzled as I.	10
3	148	In a moment we had climbed to the deck of the stem castle, and, shielding our eyes, looked across the bright, gentle water, in the direction Clitus indicated.	10
4	29	On the stem deck of the Dorna, surmounting the stem castle, we counted the beats.	10
50	30	I went back to the low stern castle, accompanied by Thurnock, Sakim, and Clitus.	10
58	127	We saw, rearing above us, slipping past to starboard, the stem castle of the enemy.	10
