"Wait!" "Out oars!" cried Seremides, angrily, and, his rope falling amongst his oarsmen, the oars of his galley slid outward. |

"Pull, pull!" said Seremides, and the ropes attached to his galley, leading back to the great ship, lifted, dripping, from the water. |
10 |

Seremides' galley began to move toward ours. |
10 |

"Out oars! Row! Move!" The galley of Seremides kept its original heading, dictated by its towing ropes, while we were still, towing ropes slack, now almost across his bow, rocking in the water. |
10 |

"Poles!" cried Pertinax, and men seized up the launching poles, used in thrusting a galley from a wharf, cushioning her approach to a wharf, holding her away from rocks, or such. |

It then, dragging its burden of sharks, its victim still struggling in its jaws, dove, and the snap of that great tail, striking upward, tipped us, and then, striking downward, propelling that enormous bulk, clove our galley, and we were plunged into the water. |

Some grapnels, on knotted rope, were slung upward from the galley, but fell short. |

Indeed, the warning ship itself was partly afire, on its starboard side, where the flaming mast of the galley, with its lateen sail, had collapsed against its aft bulwarks. |
10 |

Some of the enemy managed to reach the nets, as well, and began to climb, but, after a few yards, they dropped back in the water and swam to the wreckage of the galley, and that of some small boats, from which they were drawn to the deck of the warning ship, now falling back. |
10 |

When Tyrtaios glanced at him, for Tyrtaios often apprised himself of his surroundings, Seremides looked away, as though concerned to watch the small boats, now about the galley, approach the shore. |

More than once the galley turned, and slowed, rocking, men from the water clinging to the oars. |

Several yards from the torchlit, screaming, raucous shore, the clash of metal, the cries of enraged men, of frightened men, of dying men, Cabot turned the galley. |

There were now three or four men at a bench, which should hold two, and the galley was crowded amidships, and fore and aft. |

Then Cabot, I following him, leaped into the water amongst men trying to board the galley, and, water to our waist, we waded to shore. |
10 |

"Oars," called Pertinax, taken aback, his voice cracking with misery, "Stroke!" The galley now captained by Philoctetes had already moved from shore, outside the light of the torches. |
