10
2 26 She had no paddle, but, thrust in the mud near her, was a long pole which she would use to propel her light craft.
Details
10
2 54 She was handed the pole with which she had propelled her own craft, which craft was now tied to another of the rence craft of the men who had come from the rushes and sedge.

2 55 With the pole she began to propel my rush craft through the sedge, the several other craft accompanying us, on one or the other side, or following.

4 31 I had spent the night in the open, a foot or two from her tiny hut on the rence island, my wrists tied to my ankles, my neck tethered to an oar pole thrust deep through the rence of the island.
Details
10
4 154 She had now turned the stem of the craft toward the rence island, which lay some pasang or two through the swamp, and, as I cut rence here and there, began to pole homeward.
Details
10
4 162 I had expected her to bind me, as she had the night before, then tethering me to the oar pole thrust through the rence near the hut.
Details
10
5 26 I stood with an oar pole at my back, bound to it for their inspection.
Details
10
5 27 The pole, thrust deep in the rence of the island, stood in a clearing near the shore of the island.
Details
10
5 28 My wrists were bound behind the pole with marsh vine.

5 69 I had stood at the pole the long morning, subject to the examination, the stares, and the blows and abuse of those who passed by.

10
5 100 Then the entire group came to my pole, with the exception of Ho-Hak, who went rather to speak with some men carving rence root and talking, on the other side of the island.
Details
10
5 118 I stood numb at the pole, while Telima unbound me.
Details
10
5 120 Then I stood free at the pole, save that I wore the collar of marsh vine she had fastened on my neck, and a garland of rence flowers.
Details
10
5 146 "To the pole," she said.
Details
10
5 147 I had seen the pole.

5 150 The pole, barkless, narrow, upright, thrust deep in the rence of the island, stood at the very center of the clearing, surrounded by the circles of the feasting rencers.
Details
10
5 151 I went to the pole, and stood by it.
Details
10
5 153 Then, as she had in the morning, she fastened my ankles to the pole, and then, again as she had in the morning, she bound me to it as well by the stomach and neck.

10
5 207 I stood there at the pole.

5 213 I stumbled from the pole, making my way through the buffeting circle of dancers, through the laughing circles of rencers, shouting and clapping their hands, and made my way to Telima's hut.

6 59 She had been the girl who, this morning, had carried a net over her left shoulder, one of those who had taunted me at the pole, one of those who had, at festival, danced her contempt of me.
Details
10
6 72 I remembered her well from the pole, and how she had traced the figure upon my shoulder, and how she had knelt insolently, tormentingly, before me, and had looked up at me, amused, and had put her hands upon my thighs, but had then, with the others, been ordered away from me by Ho-Hak.
Details
10
6 80 It was he who had given me a piece of rence cake in the morning, when I had been bound at the pole, who had been punished by his mother for so doing.
Details
10
6 82 There, under the light of marsh torches, I saw Ho-Hak, crying with rage, shouting, with an oar pole laying about himself wildly.
Details
10
6 84 Now, just outside the circle of his swinging pole, there must have been ten or fifteen warriors of Port Kar, their swords drawn, the light of the marsh torches reflecting from them, surrounding him, fencing him in with their weapons.
Details
10
6 87 Ho-Hak, sweating, breathing deeply, wildly, his great ears flat against the sides of his head, the iron, riveted collar of the galley slave, with its broken, dangling chain, about his neck, clutching his oar pole, stood with his legs planted widely apart on the rence, at bay.

7 2 The men of Port Kar had set fire to the two islands, beginning at the farther edges, to drive any who might be concealed on them, perhaps having cut burrows into the rence or hiding in the center oar wells, across the bridges toward the central island, on which had been the pole of the dance, Telima...

10
7 25 On the island now, in its center, near the pole, there stood, packed together, a miserable crowd of prisoners.
Details
10
7 82 I saw the pole to which I had been tied, the circle of the feast, the ruins of huts, the litter and the broken things, and the scattered things, and the bodies.
Details
10
7 83 I returned to the raft and picked up Telima in my arms, carrying her to the high surface of the island where, near the pole, I placed her on the matting.

7 138 Before I left I noted, among the broken rence and other paraphernalia, some throwing sticks and such, the tunic of rence cloth which she had slipped off before me the night previously, before commanding me to serve her pleasure, before we had heard the cry "Slavers!" I picked it up and carried it, w...

10
7 167 She, too, would make a craft, take a pole, and find her way deeper into the delta, doubtless to be accepted by another of the small rence communities.

10
7 197 It was the boy who had brought me the bit of rence cake when I had been bound at the pole, he who had been punished for doing this by his mother.
Details
10
8 89 Usually they fell far wide of our true position, for, following each of my fired shafts, Telima would pole us to a new point of vantage, whence I might again, when ready, pick a target and loose yet another of the winged shafts.
Details
10
8 98 "Pole me to the fourth barge," I said.
Details
10
8 145 She thrust the oar-pole deep into the mud of the marsh, and fastened the rence craft to this mooring by a length of marsh vine.
Details
10
8 182 "Pole us to the barges," I said.
Details
10
8 192 Then, silently, I motioned Telima to scrape the oar-pole on the side of the barge, just touching the planks.
Details
10
8 198 I had Telima pole us back away from the barge and I stood regarding it, for some Ehn, the great bow quarter-drawn, arrow to string.
Details
10
8 262 I recalled I had been bound rather similarly at the pole early on the day of the festival, and then, later, on the night of the festival, when she had danced her contempt of me.
Details
10
8 289 On the second prow of the six barges, only a few feet from the tiller deck of the first barge, it had been the tall, gray-eyed girl, who had held marsh vine against my arm, she who had danced with such excruciating slowness before me at the pole.
Details
10
8 306 I pulled the oar-pole from the mud at its side, and then, standing on the wide, sturdy little craft which Telima had fashioned from the rence I had gathered, I poled my way back to the first barge.
Details
10
8 452 "You fought well, Ho-Hak," said I, "on the rence island, with only an oar-pole".
Details
10
8 478 "Eechius had given him rence cake when he was bound at the pole," said Telima.
Details
10
8 578 Once, when I had been bound at the pole, she had pushed up my head, that she might better assess the features of a slave.
Details
10
8 602 "And look up at me, as you did at the pole".
Details
10
9 280 I had given her a brief tunic of silk, briefer even than had been the rence tunic she had worn when she had taunted me at the pole, and when she had danced before me, which had been taken from her by the slaver after she had been netted on the island.
Details
10
9 335 She had taunted me at the pole.
Details
10
9 373 "Do you recall," I asked pleasantly, looking down into her eyes, "how some days ago, on the rence island, on the night of the festival, in the firelight, when I was bound at the pole, you taunted me in your dance?" "Master?" she asked, her eyes timid.
Details
10
18 450 I found some beams and rope, and a pole, bound together a simple raft and through one of the delta canals, which were not then barred, made my escape.

13 490 I had been well fed the night before, for I had stopped, hidden in the darkness, near a peasant village, where, from a pole, I had stolen a piece of drying meat, bosk flesh.
