10
29 109 The chain will keep the pirates of the west to the west of Port Cos".

29 131 "Captain, Callisthenes," said I, "surely the pirates, as you yourself have suggested, are well informed".

10
29 138 "On the assumption that the pirates understood what was occurring," I said to Callisthenes, "does it not seem strange to you that they made no effort to interfere with the placing of the chain?" "It was guarded, of course," said Callisthenes.

5 199 These constructions, some twenty-five feet in length, and some seven feet in width, as the pirates scattered back in their path, crashed downward, their great bent spikes shattering into the decking of the pirate ships, anchoring the ships together, yet holding them some seven or eight feet apart.

10 12 Free women are not often found in the vicinity of pirates.
Details
10
10 29 It was not a song of Ar they sang, but a river song, a song of pirates and brawlers, "The Ten Maids of Hammerfest," in which is recounted the fates which befell these lovely lasses.
Details
10
10 51 This, we had hoped, would create a diversion, and lead the pirates, in the confusion and darkness, to assume that we were moving eastward, and that the Olivia had been set aflame by their own forces.

15 83 There the pirates, at the edge of the concourse, some hundred yards from the office of the wharf master, set back on the concourse, had gathered, preparatory to their attack on the town.
