4 116 The Older Tarl and I had made a round of taverns in the various cylinders, and I recall toddling precariously, singing obscene camp lyrics, along different narrow bridges, about a yard wide without rails, and the earth somewhere below—how far I had no idea at the time.

Book 6. (116 results) Raiders of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
10 20 The round ship, of course, is not round, but it does have a much wider beam to its length of keel, say, about one to six, whereas the ratios of the war galleys are about one to eight.
Details
10
14 77 The principal alternatives, under these conditions, open to the men of Cos and Tyros would then seem to be, first, to use free oarsmen, which was not, however, traditional on round ships, or, second, to increase the ram-ship escort for round ships.
Details
10
14 308 Further, she is less seaworthy than the round ship, having a lower freeboard area, being more easily washed with waves, and having a higher keel-to-beam ratio, making the danger of breaking apart in a high sea greater than it would be with a round ship.

10
17 77 Coming on the heels of the round ships, with their masts high, these, I assumed, might well be taken for more round ships, for the mast of a tarn ship is always lowered before battle.

10 19 Both are predominantly oared vessels, but the round ship carries a heavier, permanent rigging, and supports more sail, being generally two-masted.

13 229 By the eighth hour various captains of round ships had arrived and begun to haggle with the slave master over the prices of the oarsmen.

13 307 Slowly the ship, like a sweet, fat bird, heavy and stately, began to move toward the opening between the two high, round towers that guard the entrance to the walled harbor of Telnus, capital city of the island of Cos, seat of its Ubar's throne.

13 314 The Rena of Temos, like most round ships, had two permanent masts, unlike the removable masts of the war galleys.

13 515 Even so I found myself pressed and, to ease the difficulties of wharfage and mooring rights, I sold many a round ship taken, and some of the inferior long ships.
Details
10
13 516 My round ships, as much as possible, I engaged in commerce, usually acting on the advice of Luma, the slave girl, my chief accountant; the ram-ships I sent against Cos and Tyros, usually in twos and threes; I myself commonly commanded a fleet of five ram-ships, and spent much time searching the seas...

14 47 The rowing deck, further, is open to the air, thereby differing from the rowing holds of round ships.
Details
10
14 66 The treasure fleet, with her escort, consisted of seventy ships; forty were ram-ships and thirty round ships.
Details
10
14 70 I had made it a practice never to ram round ships, and I had seen that this practice was well publicized.
Details
10
14 72 Doubtless, from hold to hold, over the months, the word has spread that Bosk not only would not sink a round ship, but that, when he took one, he freed her slaves.
Details
10
14 73 I think, had it not been for this, my own actions against round ships of the past months would not have been as successful as they had been.
Details
10
14 74 Further, I had spread the rumor that I would be displeased should I discover, after capturing a round ship, that her slaves had been either mistreated or slain.
Details
10
14 75 Accordingly I thus, in effect, recruited tacit allies in the rowing holds of round ships.
Details
10
14 83 Because of my practices in connection with round ships, I did not expect Cos and Tyros to enter them seriously into any naval engagement with my fleet.
Details
10
14 114 Whereas I did not know exactly the codes employed by the treasure fleet, I had little doubt that our hesitation was being signaled about the fleet, and then I heard other trumpets, and saw the round ships drawing apart, and tarn ships streaking between them, fanning out in our direction.
Details
10
14 285 Two had been permitted to escape, and one lay, even now, penned in among the round ships.
Details
10
14 286 Some of the round ships, intelligently, had scattered, but, of the thirty originally in the fleet, there were now twenty-two ringed with our vessels.
Details
10
14 288 I was in no particular hurry to move against the captured round ships.
Details
10
14 290 I was more interested in the seven round ships that had fled.
Details
10
14 291 Accordingly, as soon as a sufficient number of my ships had returned to the treasure fleet, I set about organizing a pursuit of the missing round ships.
Details
10
14 293 I dispatched ten tarn ships abroad in search patterns, hoping to snare some of the seven missing round ships.
Details
10
14 294 Five of these search ships I sent in a net formation toward Cos, supposing this the most likely, if not the most wise, course that would soon be taken by the majority of the escaping round ships.
Details
10
14 300 I looked upon my twenty-three round ships, and was not unsatisfied.
Details
10
14 301 Round ships, like ram-ships, differ among themselves considerably.
Details
10
14 314 Penned in among the twenty-three round ships was a long galley, a purple ship, flying the purple flag of Cos.
Details
10
14 321 I anticipated, and received, little resistance from the round ships.
Details
10
14 326 Vessel by vessel my men boarded the round ships, commonly meeting no resistance.
Details
10
14 328 The round ship, although she often carries over one hundred, and sometimes over two hundred, chained slaves in her rowing hold, seldom, unless she intends to enter battle, carries a free crew of more than twenty to twenty-five men.
Details
10
14 343 From time to time, as I scanned the lists, there was a cheer from one round ship or another as her slaves were freed.
Details
10
14 453 "I am returning one round ship to Cos," I said.
Details
10
14 465 At that point, from the foremast of a nearby round ship, where I had placed a lookout, came the cry, "Twelve sail! Twelve sail abeam!" "Ah," said I, "twelve ships, it seems".
Details
10
15 10 My ten search vessels had managed to bring in five of the seven missing round ships, four of which had been, foolishly, striking out directly for Telnus in Cos.
Details
10
15 15 The ships, in a splendid, long line, filing behind me, the Dorna first, then the tarn ships, then the round ships, under oars, moved slowly through the city, following the triumphal circuit of the great canal, passing even before the chamber of the Council of Captains.
Details
10
15 35 Had there ever been triumph such as this in Port Kar? I brought with me fifty-nine ships: the flagship of the treasure fleet, Vivina bound at its prow, the Dorna, the other twenty-nine ships which had composed my original fleet, and, as prizes, laden with wealth which might have been the ransom of c...

15 36 And bound at the prow of the first forty ships, following the flagship, beginning with the Dorna, and then the tarn ships and the first ten and largest of the captured round ships, was a high-born beauty, once intended to be the maiden of Cos' Ubara, now, like herself, destined only for the brand an...
Details
10
15 50 In the five days it had taken to reach Port Kar from the scene of the engagement with the treasure fleet, due to the slowness of the round ships, I had not kept Vivina, and her maidens, of course, at the prows of the ships.
Details
10
15 54 "If I remember correctly," I had said, behind the admiral's table, busied with papers, "in the hall of the Ubar of Cos you told me that you did not frequent the rowing holds of round ships".
Details
10
15 57 High-born ladies commonly sail in cabins, located in the stern castles of either ram-ships or round ships.
Details
10
15 59 "I asked you, as I recall," I had reminded her, "if you had ever been in the hold of a round ship?" She said nothing.
Details
10
15 62 "Take this lady," said I to them, "in a long boat to the largest of the round ships, one rowed by captured officers of the treasure fleet, and chain her there, with other treasures, in the rowing hold".
Details
10
15 71 "Only slave girls, I understand," said she, "are kept chained below decks in round ships".
Details
10
15 112 As the holds of the round ships, one by one, had been emptied, appraised and recorded, hundreds of men, most of them unknown to me, had applied to me for clientship.
Details
10
16 198 Most sailing, save by round ships, is done in the spring and summer.
Details
10
16 369 The round ships and the long ships leave the harbor of Port Kar.
Details
10
17 5 The nearest estimations I could make were that we were bringing, at the time of the engagement, in the neighborhood of twenty-five hundred ships, fourteen hundred of them only round ships, against the joint fleet of Cos and Tyros, of some forty-two hundred ships, all tarn ships, now approaching from...
Details
10
17 9 Of the seven hundred arsenal ships, three hundred and forty were tarn ships, and three hundred and sixty were round ships.
Details
10
17 10 Our fleet was further supplemented by some fourteen hundred ships furnished by private captains, minor captains of Port Kar, most of which were round ships.
Details
10
17 51 This left me approximately one hundred and eighty-five tarn ships, and the large numbers, fourteen hundred, of round ships.
Details
10
17 56 My third wave, following the second by an Ahn, would consist of a long extended line of round ships, some fourteen hundred.
Details
10
17 58 Thus the round ships might, hopefully, be able to envelop their formation, surround it, and attack on the flanks, with their not inconsiderable barrage of flaming javelins, heated stones, burning pitch and showers of crossbow bolts.
Details
10
17 59 Further, when the ships of Cos and Tyros turned upon these round ships I did not think they would find them common foes.
Details
10
17 62 Besides having large numbers of unchained, armed men in their rowing holds, these round ships, moreover, were, below decks, and in the turrets and the stem and stern castles, crowded with armed, able-bodied men, citizens of Port Kar who had swarmed aboard, that they might fight.
Details
10
17 65 They are to be fastened at one end to the round ship and are intended to be dropped, with their ponderous spiked ends, into the deck of an enemy ship, thus nailing, or fastening, the ships together.
Details
10
17 66 The round ship has a substantially higher freeboard area than the ram-ship, which is lower, and so this boarding arrangement is feasible.
Details
10
17 67 Commonly, of course, it is the round ship, with her normally small, free crews, which attempts to evade boarding.
Details
10
17 69 We had crowded far more armed men into each of these round ships than would be carried even in the normal crew of a heavy-class tarn ship.
Details
10
17 70 The common strategy with a round ship is to shear and board, because, normally, one wishes not to sink the ship but take it as a prize.
Details
10
17 74 It was my hope that my round ships, with their large, free crews, and their artillery, and their boarding potentialities, might be a match for even heavy-class tarn ships.
Details
10
17 76 My fourth wave consisted of fifty tarn ships, instructed not to lower their masts, which would follow the round ships by an Ahn.
Details
10
17 78 Accordingly I hoped the tarn ships of Cos and Tyros, seeing the sails, would think their new enemies were single-masted round ships, of which there are some types, and either misjudge their speeds or rush on them unwarily, finding out, too late, that they were plunging headlong toward swift, maneuve...
Details
10
17 79 These ships would then, when free to do so, support the round ships in their battle, destroying tarn ships which might, unaware of the new danger, be attempting to close with them.
Details
10
17 132 As I watched, the long, strung-out line of round ships of Port Kar moved past, tacking, scarcely using their oars, their small, triangular storm sails beaten from the north.
Details
10
17 133 The lateen-rigged galley, whether a round ship or a ram-ship, although it can furl its sail, cannot well let out and take in sail; it is not a square-rigged craft; accordingly she carries different sails for different conditions; the yard itself, from the mast, is lowered and hoisted, sails being re...
Details
10
17 134 It was the latter sail which, although it was unusual, the round ships were using for tacking; had they used either of the larger sails, with the sharp wind, they would have heeled dangerously toward the water, perhaps shipping water through the leeward thole ports.
Details
10
17 173 Behind my second-wave ships, I saw, scattered in its long enveloping line stretching from horizon to horizon across Thassa, their small storm sails pounded by the wind, the third wave, that of the round ships.
Details
10
17 176 In the turmoil of the battle I had little doubt that they would be taken, at first, and perhaps until it was too late, as a second wave of round ships.
Details
10
17 179 With the reserves would come ten more round ships, wide-beamed lumber ships from the arsenal.
Details
10
17 195 Then, as the lines of Cos and Tyros had closed and deepened, to match formations with my task forces, the great encircling line of round ships had cast its net about them.
Details
10
17 196 Hundreds of ships had turned to destroy these clumsy intruders, but, of these hundreds, great numbers discovered, too late, that they fought not common round ships but floating fortresses jammed with armed men, eager to engage.
Details
10
17 197 And then I had seen fleet ships, in their fifties, come about to move against what they had taken to be a new wave of round ships, only to be taken off-guard by the rams and shearing blades of ships as swift and terrible as their own.
Details
10
17 202 I had only some twenty-five hundred ships, most of them round ships, to bring against a fleet of prime vessels, some forty-two hundred in strength, each a tarn ship, with fierce ram and shearing blades.
Details
10
17 214 I could see, now, approaching the Dorna, from the east, the reserves, the fifty-five tarn ships, and the ten wide-beamed round ships, lumber ships from the arsenal, whose cargoes were unknown even to my highest officers.
