8	84	The land tharlarion can swim barges across the river, but he is not as efficient as the vast river tharlarion.	10
8	563	I loved its ramps going down to the river and winding among the warehouses, the painted, carved wood on its buildings, the black shingles, the smell of bosk on the ramps and the creak of wagons, the smell of fish and salt, and glistening tharlarion, from the river, the smell of hides and fur, and sa...	10
7	4	He was bound, traveling over the hills and meadowlands east and north of Ko-ro-ba, for the city of Laura, which lies on the banks of the Laurius river, some two hundred pasangs inland from the coast of the sea, called Thassa.	10
7	5	Laura is a small trading city, a river port, whose buildings are largely of wood, consisting mostly it seems of warehouses and taverns.	10
7	9	And, from Lydius, of course, goods of many sorts, though primarily rough goods, such things as tools, crude metal and cloth, brought on barges, towed by tharlarion treading on log roads, following the river, are brought to Laura, for sale and distribution inland.	10
7	10	The Laurius is a winding, long, gentle, slow river.	10
8	5	We could smell fish and the river.	10

8	73	I held the bars, and looked across the river to Laura.	10

8	83	Those approaching were drawn by land tharlarion, plodding on log roads along the edges of the river.	10
8	85	Both sides of the river are used to approach Laura, though the northern shore is favored.	10
8	136	The morning sun was bright on the surface of the river.	10
8	191	We were now better than two thirds of the way across the broad river.	10
8	210	The tharlarion now turned slowly in the broad river, near Laura, and, under the stick, and cries, of their driver, began to back the barge against its pier.	10

6	192	It would have been difficult to bring such a ship this far on the river.	10
6	325	We had taken the Tesephone from the wharves of Laura, and ascended the river some twenty pasangs.	10

6	582	We had returned to the camp by the river but within the Ahn.	10

13	37	They ran toward me as I had wanted them to, near the edge of the river, in the shortest line, away from the trees.	10

13	74	I saw the distant churning in the water, and saw, far off, the narrow head of a river shark, lifting itself, water falling from it, and the dorsal fins, black and triangular, of four others.	10
13	83	Sharks were still moving in the center of the river, feeding.	10
13	196	I took her naked in my arms, unbound, and began to carry her into the river.	10
13	199	We stood in the river.	10
13	202	The river shark, commonly, does not like to come into water this shallow, but it had been feeding, and it was aroused.	10
18	41	And in the hold of the Tesephone were numbers of my men, captured at the camp on the Laurius River, due to the treachery of a tavern keeper of Laura, by name, Hesius, and four paga slaves.	10

4	7	The stream of Torvald is a current, as a broad river in the sea, pasangs wide, whose temperature is greater than that of the surrounding water.	10
4	39	Even fog banks, and the feeding grounds of whales, and ice floes, in given seasons, in their own waters, give the men of Torvaldsland information as to their whereabouts, they utilizing such things as easily, as unconsciously, as a peasant might a mountain, or a hunter a river.	10
8	77	It contained as well the separated oil of the Thentis needle tree; an extract from the glands of the Cartius river urt; and a preparation formed from a disease calculus scraped from the intestines of the rare Hunjer Long Whale, the result of the inadequate digestion of cuttlefish.	10

1	261	"And it was there that he discovered that Lake Ngao was fed, incredibly enough, by only one major river, as its eastern extremity, a river vast enough to challenge even the Vosk in its breadth and might, a river which he called the Ua".	10
1	484	Ar has no navy, being an inland power, but it has developed a fleet of river ships and these, often, skirmish with the river ships of Cos, usually built in Cos, transported to the continent and carried overland to the river.	10
1	483	Cos and Ar compete with one another to gain treaties with these river towns, control the traffic, and dominate the commerce of the river to their respective advantages.	10
6	68	The Ua River is, literally, the Flower River.	10
41	6	From each side of the river, about two hundred yards behind, we saw canoes, dozens, being thrust into the river.	10
44	202	The word 'Mamba' in most of the river dialects does not refer to a venomous reptile as might be expected, given its meaning in English, but, interestingly, is applied rather generally to most types of predatory river tharlarion.	10
46	45	"Yes," he said, "a great force of men is coming up the river, and the peoples of the river are joining, that they may be stopped".	10
49	93	"Quickly," I said, "take the canoe to the left, take shelter upon that river island!" We took the canoe quickly to a narrow river island, almost a wooded bar, on either side of which, placidly, flowed the Ua.	10
1	200	"We now know that the Thassa Cartius and the subequatorial Cartius are not the same river".	10
1	202	Turmus was the last major river port on the Vosk before the almost impassable marshes of the delta.	10
1	206	The actual source of the tributary to the Vosk, now called the Thassa Cartius, as you know, was found five years later by the explorer, Ramus of Tabor, who, with a small expedition, over a period of nine months, fought and bartered his way through the river tribes, beyond the six cataracts, to the V...	10

1	265	"Shaba himself, with his men and boats, pursued the river for only a hundred pasangs," I said, "when they were turned back by some falls and cataracts".	10
1	482	Whereas most towns on the river are, in effect, free states, few are strong enough to ignore powers such as Cos and its major rival in these territories, the city of Ar.	10
1	491	The situation on the Vosk is further complicated by the presence of Vosk pirates and the rivalries of the river towns themselves.	10
1	579	"One is reminded of the name of the river port at the mouth of the Laurius," said Samos.	10

7	90	"It is a mad project," said Uchafu, "but what can one expect of the barbarians of the interior?" "It would open the Ua river to the sea," I said.	10
16	65	One of the most amazing evidences of its scope and ambition was the very project in which I was now unwillingly engaged, the visionary attempt to join Lakes Ushindi and Ngao, separated by more than four hundred pasangs, by a great canal, a canal that would, via Lake Ushindi and the Nyoka and Kamba r...	10

27	1	The Fishing Village; A Slave Begs to be Touched; Ayari Acquires Information They were scampering about on the scaffolding, it extending far out into the river.	10

27	29	This was the first settlement we had come to on the river.	10
27	71	"Perhaps, on the river," I said, "one cannot be too careful".	10
28	1	The Box in the River "There!" said Ayari.	10
28	7	The river was generally two to four hundred yards wide at these points.	10
28	23	We put the goods in one of the sacks we had had and saved from the fishermen's village, and threw the broken lock and opened box again into the river.	10
29	1	Bark Cloth and Beads We sat about the small fire, some half pasang inland from the river, in the rain forest.	10
29	217	I was interested in the fauna of the river and the rain forest.	10
29	218	I recalled, sunning themselves on exposed roots near the river, tiny fish.	10
29	238	I thought about the river, and was soon asleep.	10
30	1	We Make Further Progress Upon the River "Do not permit the canoe to be swept away!" screamed Kisu, straining to be heard over the rushing water.	10
30	4	It is impossible to paddle against these currents as the river, descending rapidly, plunges in torrents amongst a jungle of rocks.	10
31	9	"How is it that you are coming from the west on the river with her?" asked a man who knew snatches of Ushindi.	10
31	43	"The chief says the river is dangerous beyond this point.	10
31	68	It was the first village we had come to on the river which was surrounded by a palisade.	10
31	70	The river, eastward from this point, was said to become more dangerous.	10
32	34	"Shaba passed here," said Kisu, sitting down, wiping the sweat, like river water, from his head.	10
32	43	I suspected, from the degree of recovery of the jungle following the passage of Shaba and his men, that he was not more than fifteen or twenty days ahead of us on the river.	10
32	57	Kisu, sitting, was looking down through the trees at the swift, churning water of the river.	10
32	207	Along the river, of course, many other species of birds may be found, such as jungle gants, tufted fishers and ring-necked and yellow-legged waders.	10
32	722	In the pool, clambering over one another, lifting their jaws upward were crocodiles, beasts like river tharlarion but differently hided and plated".	10
32	724	The marsh tharlarion, and river tharlarion, of Gor are, I suspect, genetically different from the alligators, caimans, and crocodiles of Earth.	10
32	726	The marsh and river tharlarion, accordingly, if descended from such beasts, brought long ago to Gor on Voyages of Acquisition by Priest-Kings, would presumably resemble them more closely.	10
32	820	"Remember," she said, "that I was forced to do this, that I not be hurled to the waiting jaws of crocodiles, beasts much like river tharlarion.	10
33	1	What We Saw from the Height of the Falls; Tende Dances; We Enter Again Upon the River; I Anticipate the Surrender of the Blond-Haired Barbarian We thrust the canoe upward, Kisu and I at the stern, Ayari and the girls hauling on ropes at the forequarter.	10

33	30	Downriver, several pasangs away, small but unmistakable, moving in our direction, was a fleet of canoes and river vessels.	10
33	31	There must have been in the neighborhood of a hundred, oared river galleys, the balance of the fleet which had been prepared for Shaba's originally projected penetration of the Ua, and perhaps again as many canoes.	10
33	56	"But Bila Huruma is on the river," said Kisu.	10
33	71	Wading, we followed Kisu and Tende out toward the center of the river.	10
33	136	Tende then, obedient to her master's command, as Kisu clapped his hands and sang, danced on a flat rock in the Ua river, danced before Bila Huruma, so far away, her master's enemy, from whom she had been stolen.	10
33	188	We then moved the canoe, wading beside it, with the exception of Tende, fastened within it, out into the river.	10
33	208	But my stern gaze warned her to direct her attention again to her work and the river.	10
34	102	We had then continued on, up the river, for several hours.	10
34	108	Too, ahead of us we suspected that the river, as we had been warned at the last village, would become ever more dangerous and treacherous.	10
36	3	We saw, shattered on rocks, the stern quarter of a river galley.	10
36	9	Once before, long ago, we had recovered evidence of what had seemed to be another mishap on the river, a chest or crate of trade goods.	10
36	23	"The less evidence there is of strangers on the river the safer we shall all be".	10
37	22	We hurried to the canoe and, quickly, thrust it into the river.	10
39	4	We had kept to the center of the river and had continued on.	10
39	26	But we did not see the men putting canoes into the river.	10
39	29	"Perhaps," said Ayari, "they know the river better than us, and do not desire to travel further eastward upon it".	10
41	1	The Net in the River "Look out!" cried Ayari.	10
41	2	It seemed to rip up from the water, extending across the river.	10
42	4	We had now been on the river four months since we had, first, on the looming height of the falls, observed the many ships and canoes of the forces of Bila Huruma far behind us.	10
42	8	They would not remain on the river at night.	10
42	9	It is impossible to convey, in any brief measure, the glory and length of the river, and the hundreds of geographical features, and the varieties of animal and vegetable life characterizing it and its environs.	10
42	10	The river alone seems a world of nature in its own right, let alone the marvels of its associated terrain.	10
42	15	The river and forests teemed with life.	10
42	17	A new world, untapped, beautiful, dangerous, was opened by the river.	10
42	45	By the time we heard men crying out in rage, and saw torches on the shore, we were safely on the river.	10
43	7	It was similar to the tiny lung fish I had seen earlier on the river, those little creatures clinging to the half-submerged roots of shore trees, and, as often as not, sunning themselves on the backs of tharlarion, those tiny fish called gints.	10
43	25	The trees were thick, the brush, near the river, heavy.	10
44	2	It was a lagoon, opening off the river, some hundred yards away.	10
44	24	At the far end of the lagoon, where its channel leads to the river, I saw what had alarmed the girl.	10
44	185	"I have business on the river," I said.	10
44	235	There are linguistic affinities amongst most of the lake and river dialects.	10
46	43	"We must move quickly," said the leader of the small men, "for there is going to be war on the river".	10
46	47	"There will be great fighting," he said, "like never before on the river".	10
46	49	I had thought that it would be only a matter of time until the peoples of the river would mass in an attempt to stop the advance of Bila Huruma.	10
48	23	"How came you upon the river?" I asked.	10
48	46	"It was madness to continue further on the river.	10
48	51	I wandered westward, paralleling the river".	10
48	91	"On the river," said he, "Shaba is not a gentleman either".	10
48	92	On the river, he knew, and all knew, there must be strict discipline.	10
48	185	We would return to our hidden canoe, beached near the river, near which we had concealed many of our supplies.	10
48	200	She and the dark-haired girl had followed us to the edge of the river.	10
48	272	The prow of the canoe swung slowly toward the center of the river.	10
48	296	"Did you spy upon us once," I asked, "further down the river?" "Yes," she said.	10
48	328	The canoe moved into the center of the river.	10
48	354	Then, in an Ahn or so, we would put our hands upon them and, holding them by the hair and the braceleted wrists, thrust them half over the side, immersing their heads and torsos in the river, that they might be awakened.	10
48	357	Janice, Alice, and Tende might then rest, and the new girls, fresh, raw slaves, but now more cognizant than before of their condition, might contribute to our progress on the river.	10
49	1	There is to be War upon the River; Tende will not be Tied Tonight "Can you read the drums, Ayari?" I asked.	10
49	12	That way we were not only usually assured of a crew in readiness but we could spend longer hours on the river.	10
49	15	The carrying of an extra paddle, or paddles, as I may have mentioned, is a not uncommon precaution on the river.	10
49	27	About a hundred yards beyond the first body, on the same side of the river, it, too, suspended from a tree branch, hung by the neck, dangling over the water, was a second body.	10
49	31	The drums pounded from the jungle, both before us and behind us, along the river.	10
49	43	"I do not think Shaba continued further on the river," said Turgus.	10
49	63	Within the next Ahn we passed more than sixty bodies, dangling at the side of the river.	10
49	108	"It is the massing of the peoples of the river for war".	10
49	111	Finally, after a half of an Ahn, the last of the canoes had disappeared down the river.	10
49	119	Kisu looked down the river.	10
50	7	We must be thousands of feet Gorean, given the length of the river, the numerous plunging cataracts, and the plateaus and levels we had ascended, above sea level, above the entrance points, west of Ngao and Ushindi, of the brown Kamba and Nyoka into the green waters of Thassa.	10
50	9	The river had been clear.	10
50	28	"There, at the landing, moored," said Ayari, "is a river galley".	10
51	153	He had not tied her at night since we had seen the forces of the river peoples pass the island on which we had hidden, those forces of incredible numbers which had doubtless wiped out Bila Huruma, his flotilla and his battalions of askaris.	10
52	8	"Was it not for me that you journeyed upon the river?" "Where is Shaba?" asked Bila Huruma.	10
53	51	On the river, I am afraid, I am regarded as something of a wizard.	10
53	62	This fish, when isolated and swimming free in a river or lake, is not particularly dangerous.	10
53	71	Given the habits of the fish I had little doubt but that this place was an ancient mating ground for them, for the grunt populations tend to return again and again to the places of their frenzy, wherever, usually in a lagoon or shallow place in a river, they may be.	10
54	46	"He regretted bringing me out upon the river by subterfuge," he said.	10
54	51	Msaliti, needing the protection of the Ubar and his men on the river, would surely desist, at least temporarily in plotting against his life.	10
54	59	"It seems," I said, "that Shaba expected me, or another, to follow him upon the river".	10
54	65	"The river, the dangers, illness," I speculated.	10
54	79	I think it was in that sense, rather than in simply having brought you upon the river, that he felt he had wronged you".	10
55	19	"It means, I think," I said, "that it is now safe to descend the river".	10
57	122	On this galley, the floating prison for the talunas, both those on the benches, chained to the thwarts, and the fetch-and-carry girl, we put five askaris, one for the rudder, for the river galley is single ruddered, and four, should the girls at the oars require encouragement, or the fetch-and-carry...	10
57	123	'The river must be made safe," had said Bila Huruma, when the right ankle of the fetch-and-carry girl, the last girl to be chained, had been snapped in its shackle, fastening her by chain and body about the run-chain.	10
57	128	It was hard to blame them for the oar of a river galley is normally drawn by a strong man.	10

13	33	All four of these cities lie on the Olni River, which is a tributary to the Vosk.	10

21	172	Small cities and towns, usually ruggedly independent, even belligerently so, along the river, such as Ven and Turmus, found themselves, to their discomfort, half coerced by armed might, half enticed with alliances and treaties, embroiled in the struggles of major powers.	10

4	23	Many hundreds had fled from Vonda, and most had taken the river southward, paying highly for their fares on the varieties of river craft, barges, skiffs, river galleys, and even coracles, which had brought them to Lara.	10
4	80	"Usually the river pirates sell their goods and captures somewhere along the river, in one of the numerous river towns".	10
7	46	I had gone a pasang inland to avoid river tharlarion and proceeded, paralleling the river, toward Victoria.	10
3	290	"It is rumored the river pirates are the worst," said another.	10
3	295	"They are to be sold in the river markets," said someone, as I went past.	10
3	298	It would be difficult to get them to the river markets, which lay beyond Lara, down the Vosk, and higher prices, presumably, could be obtained for them in the markets of the south.	10
3	327	"These are the victims of the predations of river pirates in Lara".	10
4	37	Too, here and there in the city, river pirates, with impunity, sought women and plundered.	10
4	46	Too, he had been, as I had ascertained, attacked by river pirates on the south bank of the Olni and, embattled, had bargained for his life and those of his men by delivering his goods and slaves to the assailants.	10

4	158	River pirates may still be within the city.	10
4	166	My business lay not in Lara but further west on the river.	10
4	556	"River pirates," I said.	10
5	5	"I wager he cannot!" called a large fellow, a peasant, from north of the river.	10
6	19	Indeed, perhaps surprisingly, they had done little but clear the town of river pirates and, here and there, gather in a bit of loot and some women, mostly female refugees from Vonda who fell into their hands.	10
6	50	For several weeks I had moved from one river town to the next, examining slave markets and attempting to obtain information on the whereabouts of the pirate, Kliomenes.	10
6	53	His name, and that of his captain, Policrates, were apparently feared on the river.	10
6	54	These river pirates were not, it must be understood, a few scattered crews of cutthroats.	10
6	58	They were a power on the river.	10
6	72	West of Ar's Station on the river I had visited Jort's Ferry, Point Alfred, Jasmine, Siba, Sais and Sulport.	10
6	74	Its growth might be contrasted with that of Tetrapoli, much further west on the river.	10
6	77	These towns grew together along the river and were eventually consolidated as a polity.	10
6	99	On the way down to the river I passed four of the log warehouses whose doors were marked with the Kajira sign.	10
6	130	The next towns west on the river were Victoria and Tafa.	10
6	132	The major towns west of Port Cos, discounting minor towns, were Tetrapoli, Ven and Turmus, Ven at the junction of the Ta-Thassa Cartius and the Vosk, and Turmus, at the eastern end of the Vosk's great delta, the last town on the river itself.	10
6	134	That was the next town west on the river.	10
6	140	"You must be new on the river," he said.	10
6	157	"It is well known on the river," he said.	10
6	159	"That Victoria is one of the major outlets for the merchandise of river pirates".	10
7	8	The masts of river galleys bristled at the quays.	10

7	11	"It bodes not well for security on the river," said his fellow.	10
7	33	Her example might be followed by every small town on the river".	10
8	124	"This part of the river," said the standing man, "is mine".	10
9	45	The spring and summer are the busiest seasons, for these are the seasons of heaviest river traffic and, accordingly, the seasons when pirates, after their raids, are most likely to bring in their loot.	10
10	133	"It is in this direction," I said, indicating a street leading toward the river front.	10
10	259	She made an angry noise, and we continued on, toward the river front.	10
10	268	Tonight my life had been saved by a dissolute fellow, a man called Callimachus, perhaps from Port Cos, farther west on the river, a derelict.	10
10	279	"I am sorry to disappoint you," I said, "but that is a not uncommon name on Gor, particularly, as I understand it, west on the river, and on the islands of Cos and Tyros".	10
13	46	"It is a pledge symbol," I said, "apparently used among pirates on the river, when combining for massive assaults".	10
13	51	"And if Ar's Station should be destroyed, the eastern river, between Tafa and Lara, would lie much at the mercy of the raiders".	10

19	38	Drifters among the river towns are not uncommon.	10
20	25	"May I introduce my new friend," she said, "Kliomenes, a river captain".	10
21	93	I had, I knew, the means whereby I might, if I wished, gain admission to that dark, rearing fortress, the walled river cove at its base.	10
22	272	He came west upon the river, to Victoria".	10
22	300	For all practical purposes, considering the forces that could realistically be marshaled upon the river the stronghold of Policrates was impregnable.	10
23	3	Again I found it startling, and impressive, how the figure of a river galley emerged from the brownish discolorations in the two pieces of stone, once they were fitted together.	10
23	12	These two major ports crippled the river, then, for all practical purposes, will be ours".	10
23	13	"It is amusing," said Policrates, "that the tension between Cos and Ar prevents the linkage of their powers upon the river".	10
23	65	"You see, Kliomenes," said Policrates, "our friend may be well known upon the river.	10
23	67	If he is highly placed in some town on the river then his utility to Voskjard and to us would be considerably diminished if it were understood such a highly placed person was secretly in league with men such as ourselves and Voskjard".	10
23	69	"And I think we may be certain," said Policrates, "that our friend is indeed well known in at least one town on the river".	10
23	104	"But, on the other hand, it is well known upon the river that Kliomenes is an excellent swordsman.	10
24	744	I must soon leave the holding of Policrates, theoretically to journey downriver to the holding of Ragnar Voskjard, that his fleet might be soon launched, that the two fleets, in fierce force, might overwhelm the garrisons of Ar's Station, and then of Port Cos, that the river, for hundreds of pasangs...	10
25	71	"Yet I think the common interest on the river of Ar's Station and Port Cos, and, indeed, of Cos and Ar themselves, should persuade them to regard our plan with care".	10
25	84	"I suggest," said Callimachus, "that the security of the river is of greater concern to them both than the distant wars of their allies".	10
26	144	"He is on his way west on the river," she said, "to Turmus, where he has friends, that he may negotiate a loan to rebuild and replenish his holdings".	10
26	145	"It is now dangerous to travel on the river," I said.	10
26	146	"River pirates are now bold and active".	10
26	158	"He is fond of Krondar, and a fighting slave may be useful upon the river".	10
28	92	I had been released after the testimonies afforded by Tasdron, who had made it clear to him that I, well known in Victoria, and having arrived from the east on the river, could not be the courier of Ragnar Voskjard.	10
29	3	The deck of the low river galley shifted beneath our feet, as the ship nosed through the inlet waters toward the secluded stronghold of Policrates.	10
29	4	It lies some two pasangs from the river itself.	10
29	39	"It would also allow Port Cos to control traffic on the river from the west," pointed out Tasdron, irritably.	10
29	108	"The plan is not only dangerous," said Callisthenes, "and I would not risk men or ships of Port Cos in such a rash scheme, but it is, at least as far as preventing the gathering of the river pirates goes, unnecessary.	10
29	128	"There is no drop of water in this river," said Aemilianus, quietly, "which we of Ar's Station may not put beneath the keels of our fleet".	10
29	132	"It seems they know anything that occurs on the river," he admitted.	10
29	158	"At this very moment his forces may be moving east on the river".	10
30	46	"And what of the beacon that was to be set," asked Policrates, "and of the ships waiting fruitlessly now upon the river?" I was silent.	10
30	387	"I will take our fleet east on the river," said Policrates to Kliomenes.	10
30	388	"That will discourage interference from towns east on the river".	10
31	140	Outside I supposed that one or more ships, river galleys, might be gracefully entering or leaving the lakelike courtyard of the holding of Policrates.	10
32	71	I had suggested my reservations concerning traveling on the river in these troubled times to Florence, when I had spoken to her in the tavern of Tasdron.	10
32	75	In the river towns the dangers of these times were common knowledge.	10
32	88	Now, it seemed, so soon, the actual ship, or ships, though it now seemed there was only one, had appeared, conducted its business, and was now returning westward on the river, presumably to rendezvous with the Voskjard.	10
32	108	"Not much of great value is currently moving on the river," said the pirate.	10
33	41	"He is now east on the river, trying to raise support for our cause," I said.	10
33	99	From where we lay to I could hear, from time to time, the restless creak of the mighty links of the chain, suspended on pylons, stretching across the river.	10
33	103	At five places in the river the chain could be opened, swung open on huge rafts, at which points there were guard stations.	10
33	104	Too, there were guard stations at the terminal pylons, on the north and south shore of the river.	10
33	168	"To be sure," said Callimachus, "and yet some fifty ships can be brought into the river by Port Cos, and some forty-five by Ar's Station.	10
33	182	"We have, then, forty-seven ships upon the river," I said.	10
33	226	"Yet," said Callimachus, "if the Tamira were truly the scout ship of Ragnar Voskjard, and if she crossed the chain westward four days ago, and a rendezvous was made in the river, in the vicinity of the holding of Ragnar Voskjard, the times involved are not inappropriate".	10

5	93	"But," I said, anxiously, "was the rendezvous with the Voskjard's fleet at his holding or was it in the river?" "What difference does it make?" asked a man.	10
5	101	"It suggests to me that the rendezvous was, indeed, made in the river, and not at the Voskjard's holding".	10
5	139	"Ar's Station is unskilled upon the river.	10
6	23	Her stern was in the mud of the river bottom.	10
6	148	This was the major danger we had anticipated in defending the river.	10
6	156	The ships of Callisthenes had been essential to our defense of the river.	10
7	58	The infantrymen of Ar, in their numbers, inordinate for the vessels involved, and their skills in war, uncommon on the river, stiffened the resistance of the remnants of our small fleet.	10
8	132	"This ship," I said, "in league with the Telia, captained by Sirnak, of the holding of Policrates, took recently upon the river a merchantman, the Flower of Siba".	10
8	144	"The rendezvous of the Tamira with the fleet of the Voskjard," I said, "took place then not at his holding, but in the river".	10
9	131	I left my position and, hurrying, ankle deep in sand and water, lowering my head to pass under the ropes between the Tina and the Tuka, made my way along her hull until I came to the river, and there entered the water, and swam about her stern quarters.	10
9	141	Such repairs, of course, must be made upon the river, and in flight.	10
9	160	I felt her move beneath me, impelled again by the ropes and men, toward the river.	10
9	162	As the Tuka slipped in the sand, being drawn backward into the river, water from the hold rushed about my feet, for a moment some six inches in depth.	10
9	299	Through the jagged rupture I could see the Tais, and the river chain, behind her.	10
9	331	She had perhaps been struck by one of the pirate ships, or perhaps, earlier, a casualty from a previous day, had come loose from one of the bars in the river.	10
9	399	Then the blade moved back and the Tais, oars cutting at the dark river, with a ripping of strakes, extricated her ram from the hull of the stricken Tamira.	10
9	443	"We are alone, in the river," said the first man, he whom the second had addressed as 'Master'.	10
10	5	In a river galley, of the construction of the Tina, her legs fell on either side of the heavy, wooden concave slope of the bow to the water and ram.	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.	10
10	31	I gathered that those of Ar's Station, as well as those of Port Cos and the other river towns, knew well what to do with women, providing, of course, they are put in collars.	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	50	On the night of our escape from our encirclement on the river, we had set afire the Olivia, our slowest and clumsiest ship, and directed her eastward against the enemy's shifting lines, opened and disarranged by the departure of the Tamira from her position.	10
10	72	By the time such a force might be raised in the river towns, of course, the fleet of the Voskjard would have reached the holding of Policrates, reinforced it, and participated in the development of new security arrangements.	10

16	135	Then suddenly I realized I might have but moments before the ship managed to free itself and back into the river.	10
16	222	The river seemed alive with ships.	10

18	64	Their territory lies roughly northwest of the Kaiila River, north of the northern fork of the Kaiila River, and east of the Snake River.	10
2	209	It is not clear, historically, whether the river is named for the red savages through whose territories it tends to flow, or whether the savages have taken their name from the river system.	10
12	358	This was around Council Rock, north of the northern fork of the Kaiila River and west of the Snake River.	10
1	60	Boswell claims to have seen one such group which took five days to swim a river".	10
1	61	"How long would it take a group like this to swim a river?" I asked.	10
2	200	They came from the countries around Council Rock, north of the northern fork of the Kaiila River and west of the Snake, a tributary to the Northern Kaiila.	10
2	202	First, understand that there exists the Kaiila River, flowing generally in a southwestward direction.	10
2	212	Subsequently, one supposes, watercourses originally understood to be, say, the rivers of the Kaiila people, or the rivers in the country of the Kaiila people, came to be known more simply as the Kaiila River, or Rivers.	10
34	485	Now, deep within the Barrens, north of the Northern Kaiila River, in the country of the Casmu Kaiila, I looked upon the shield itself.	10
35	46	"Let us continue on," said Kisu, and, again, the river before us, broad between the moist, tangled green thickets of the banks, backed on each side by the enclosing jungle, we dipped our paddles into the muddy, sluggish water.	10
44	473	It was like an odd, upward-moving, arrested river of beasts and men, suddenly stopped, immobilized, in its flow.	10
47	274	Sometimes it seemed almost as though we were motionless, floating, or arrested in time and space, and that it was the moist, nebulous substance of the cloud that flowed past us, almost as though we were immersed in a river of fog.	10

16	210	"On what river does it lie?" he asked.	10
16	211	"It doesn't lie on a river," I said.	10
23	22	That is on the Laurius river.	10
29	45	The guest of honor was from the river port of Kasra, on the Lower Fayeen.	10

20	310	"It must be clearly understood, by all," said Calliodorus, standing up, smiling, putting his half of the topaz into his pouch, "that the Vosk League, a neutral force on the river, one devoted merely to the task of maintaining law and order on the river, is certainly in no way involved in this operat...	10
21	741	But if Cos thinks to hold sway upon the river I think, then, she has not reckoned with Port Cos, nor with the river towns themselves.	10
1	219	The fellow who had made the suggestion was probably from the river port of Ar's Station.	10
2	80	To be sure, in virtue of their mutual distrust of Ar, Cos and the Salerian Confederation normally maintained close relations, and the Vosk League, a confederation of towns along the Vosk, originally formed, like the Salerian Confederation on the Olni, to control river piracy, was, at least in theory...	10
2	90	I suppose there are special historical reasons for this, for Victoria is not centrally located on the river, say, between the delta to the west and the entry of the Olni into the Vosk on the east, which point, incidentally, is controlled by the city of Lara, a member of the Salerian Confederation.	10
3	98	"And within a hundred pasangs of the river," he said.	10
8	66	The Crooked Tarn, then, was almost exactly three days march from the river.	10
9	150	In the last few weeks, too, given the fighting at the rafts, and in the harbor, predictably, river sharks, usually much farther to the west, had made their appearance.	10
11	314	"You were not on the river," said Aemilianus.	10
12	153	Too, do you think that I, a person such as I, wanted to remain out here, on the Vosk River, all my life?" "What happened then?" I asked.	10
12	157	"I had hoarded it from the beginning of the siege, even buying it up when it was cheap, early in the siege, when it was still thought that Ar, any day, would arrive with her banners fluttering in the wind, dispelling the Cosians like the sun the fogs on the river!" "For gold then?" I asked.	10
17	102	They crossed it now literally on the bodies of their fellows fallen in it, and strewn over it, as one might cross a river on stones or a bog on planks.	10
17	735	"Would you not rather die in the sunlight," I asked, "in the fresh air, under the blue sky, the clouds, in sight of the harbor, the river?" "I would rather die in sight of the walls of Ar," he said, "that I might spit upon them".	10
18	64	"Yes," I said, looking about, at the crowded landing, and the piers out toward the river.	10
18	81	"River sharks have come from as far west as Turmus.	10
19	67	There was far more smoke from the citadel, which, given the prevailing winds, the force of which had much diminished since the late morning and early afternoon, drifted out over the harbor, toward the river.	10
19	93	Indeed, I was sure that many of them, with bodies, and parts of bodies, in their jaws, had sped away, toward the piers, or had gone out farther in the harbor, beyond them, or had even returned to the river, perhaps sometimes followed by several of their brethren.	10
19	95	Sometimes river sharks, like Vosk eels, hang about piers and pilings, in their shade, and are, I am afraid, often rewarded by garbage, or other organic debris.	10
19	152	I could see the smoke still lifting from the citadel, then drifting out, toward the river.	10
19	238	I think it likely he would then have been seized in the jaws of some fish or other, perhaps one of the visitors from the river, drawn eastward by the traces of blood in the water.	10
20	10	These piers are the main harbor piers, between the inner harbor, that between them and the citadel landing, and the outer harbor, which leads to the river.	10
20	51	Too, there are other rafts from the river.	10
20	110	"There," said the man pointing, out toward the river.	10
20	132	We saw a tarnsman streaking by, coming from the direction of the river, in flight over the piers, speeding toward the landing, or the citadel.	10
20	146	"Cos does not have such force on the river," said a man.	10
20	155	"Surely then it is a variant of the flag of Cos," I said, "perhaps the flag of their forces on the river".	10
20	181	"What is all this about a topaz?" "You are then indeed a stranger to Ar's Station, and to the river," said a fellow.	10
20	182	"The pledge of the topaz was originally an agreement between river pirates, a pledge of mutual assistance and, in crisis, alliance, between them, those of the eastern and western Vosk, between Policrates in the east and Ragnar Voskjard in the west.	10
20	183	When the ports of the river, and their men, rose up against the predations, the tolls and tributes, of these pirates, the topaz fell into the hands of the victorious rebels.	10
20	190	"It was originally a quite unusual stone, one which bore in its markings and coloration a remarkable configuration, that of a river galley.	10
20	204	"Both Port Cos and Ar's Station fought on the river, in terrible and bloody battles, hull to hull.	10
20	249	The captain, whose name I had gathered was Calliodorus, he who had apparently fought long ago with Aemilianus on the river, when both were lesser officers, crouched beside him.	10
20	293	"So far west on the river," said Calliodorus, "we had not realized your straits were so desperate".	10
20	295	The major land forces of Ar, I had gathered, were somewhere in the west, south of the river.	10
20	297	There had been no dearth of intelligence as to the desperate situation of Ar's Station, however, in this vicinity, east on the river, and south towards Ar.	10
20	314	Ten of these flew the blue flag I had taken for that of Cos, or that serving for Cos on the river.	10
20	369	"My name, too, is a common one," he said, "especially west, on the river".	10
20	406	It must be remembered, too, that these were river galleys and, on the whole, smaller than the galleys of Thassa.	10
20	407	Too, the river galley, for those whom it might interest, is normally shorter masted than a Thassa galley, seldom has more than one mast, and seldom carries the varieties of sails, changed on the yard according to wind conditions, that are carried by a Thassa galley.	10
20	408	River galleys, also, as would be expected, seldom carry more than twenty oars to a side, and are almost always single-banked.	10
20	437	The first of the ships was now moving toward the river.	10
21	1	The River "Let the first of the two females be fetched," said Aemilianus.	10
21	212	"Perhaps you should be bloodied and thrown overboard to river sharks".	10
21	742	We on the river will welcome neither the sceptered emissaries of Lurius of Jad nor Marlenus of Ar.	10
21	747	"It was thought by many in Ar, seemingly Marlenus among them," said Aemilianus, "that entry into the league would appear to accept the principle that Ar was but one power among others on the river, and not the sole mistress of the waterway, as she would be.	10
21	1448	I had gathered that, long ago, these men had seen action together, probably on the river.	10
21	1533	I stood there, and looked down the river.	10
24	81	The oars entered the water in unison, drew and rose, shining, dripping, from the river.	10
24	83	At night, its beacon aflame, the light multiplied and reflected in the mirrors, it could presumably be seen for pasangs up and down the river.	10
24	220	Naturally Cosians are in close contact with those of Port Cos, whose support to them is important on the river.	10
24	281	Let this day rightfully redound to the glory of Port Cos, our brethren of the river, and let us rejoice with them, and with ourselves, for our deliverance.	10
24	286	"Perhaps the river is its own place," said a man.	10
24	336	"It would be difficult for them to cross the river, to the north," said Marcus, "and, even so, they could be followed.	10
24	350	"They would be pinned against the river.	10
24	644	"Where," asked he, "do you think the northern forces of Ar are?" "South of the river," I said, "back, to the east, somewhere".	10
24	645	"The expeditionary force of Cos will never be able to slip between them and the river," he said.	10
24	777	Its light at night could be seen, it was said, pasangs east and west on the river.	10
24	999	This is undoubtedly because of a one-time policy of Ar to maintain a margin of desolation to the north, one stretching to the river, across which it would be difficult for an invader to bring an army.	10
24	1008	"Such names," he said, "are not so common east on the river".	10

1	68	I listened to the sounds of the Vosk River in the background.	10
1	278	Although the identities of these ships were putatively unknown it was an open secret on the river that they were those of Port Cos, supplemented with several apparently furnished by the Vosk League itself.	10
1	279	The matter had something to do with a topaz, and a pledge, something going back apparently to affairs which had taken place earlier on the river.	10
1	281	This was presumably out of a respect for the power of Port Cos, and her desire to influence, if not control, through Port Cos, the politics of the Vosk league, and, through it, the river, and the Vosk basin, as a whole.	10
1	361	This seemed madness, for surely the Cosians could be pinned against the river and slaughtered.	10
1	1141	From the higher part of the camp, now, I could see several torches flickering along the river.	10
1	1244	I thought now that the search might be abating near the river, that it might, by now, have been redirected to the camp as a whole.	10
1	1245	This seemed, then, a good time to return to the vicinity of the river.	10
13	299	An excellent example of this was Cos' backing of Port Cos' entry into the Vosk League, presumably hoping thereby to influence or control the league through the policies of her sovereign colony, while Ar refused this same opportunity to Ar's Station, thereby more than ever isolating Ar's Station on t...	10

28	34	And then, too, sometimes I think that they are kept, on the whole, so simple, because this is a way of saying that everything is important, and precious, and beautiful, the small stones by the river, the leaves of trees, the tracks of small animals, a blade of grass, a drop of water, a grain of sand...	10

8	27	It was a creature of metal, but it did muchly resemble a large river tharlarion of the sort which might terrorize the Ua, and such rivers, predominantly those of tropical Gor.	10
8	31	It is a machine, thought Cabot, but where is its operator? Is it remotely controlled? The metal beast had, like the river tharlarion, a long tail, in this machine of diminishing, overlapping plates.	10
