10 |
| 5 | 298 |
"Why are you bound for Schendi?" asked Ulafi. |
10 |
| 5 | 318 |
"Why did you choose to voyage to Schendi?" he asked. |
10 |
| 5 | 320 |
"In Schendi," said Ulafi, "there are fortunes and there are dangers". |
10 |
| 5 | 323 |
"Schendi is a free port, administered by merchants," I said. |
10 |
| 5 | 327 |
"Perhaps there are some in Schendi," I said, "with whom I might take service". |
10 |

They must have known that she would be sailing from Cos to Schendi. |

"Uchafu," he said, "a slaver in Schendi". |
10 |

"Ah," said Ulafi, "I see you have business in Schendi that you have hitherto concealed". |
10 |
| 5 | 592 |
"I will have it done in Schendi," I said. |
10 |
| 5 | 594 |
In Schendi there were many leather workers, usually engaged in the tooling of kailiauk hide, brought from the interior. |
10 |

Such leather, with horn, was one of the major exports of Schendi. |
10 |
| 5 | 618 |
The Palms of Schendi, though it was night, continued to ply her way southward. |
10 |
| 5 | 619 |
Ulafi, for some reason, seemed eager to reach Schendi. |
10 |
| 5 | 737 |
She was to be shipped intact to her buyer in Schendi, he who had placed her on order. |
10 |
| 6 | 1 |
Schendi "Do you smell it?" asked Ulafi. |
10 |
| 6 | 6 |
It was the fourth morning after the evening conversation which Ulafi and I had had, concerning my putative caste and the transaction in Schendi awaiting the arrival of the blond-haired barbarian. |
10 |
| 6 | 7 |
"How far are we out of Schendi?" I asked. |
10 |
| 6 | 23 |
"Those are Schendi gulls," said Ulafi, pointing to birds which circled about the mainmast. |
10 |
| 6 | 27 |
I was eager to make landfall in Schendi. |
10 |
| 6 | 38 |
"We are approaching Schendi," he said. |
10 |
| 6 | 41 |
She, a slave, did not know what awaited her in Schendi. |
10 |
| 6 | 48 |
Slowly the Palms of Schendi swung half to port, and the great yards above the deck, pulleys creaking, lines adjusted by quick sailors, swung almost parallel to the deck. |
10 |
| 6 | 76 |
Gorean, incidentally, is spoken generally in Schendi. |
10 |
| 6 | 77 |
The word Schendi, as nearly as I can determine, has no obvious, direct meaning in itself. |
10 |
| 6 | 79 |
In that sense, I suppose, one might think of Schendi, though it has no real meaning of its own, as having an etiological relationship to a word meaning 'Victory'. |
10 |
| 6 | 107 |
Since I, from my lower elevation, a few feet above the deck, by the mainmast, could see their canvas, I knew that their lookouts, from their superior elevations, could see the Palms of Schendi. |
10 |
| 6 | 115 |
I, too, now had little doubt what ships these would be, as it was the northern spring, and we were in the waters of Schendi. |
10 |
| 6 | 123 |
"We are of Schendi," he said. |
10 |
| 6 | 127 |
"Do they never prey on ships of Schendi?" I asked. |
10 |
| 6 | 132 |
"We are in the waters of Schendi," said Shoka. |
10 |
| 6 | 133 |
"If they were to attack Schendi ships, it does not seem likely they would do so in these waters". |
10 |
| 6 | 152 |
The two girls then stood by the rail, lovely, naked, neck-chained together, watching the passing ships, their bare feet on the smooth boards of the deck of the Palms of Schendi. |
10 |
| 6 | 161 |
To be sure, one merchant ship, like the Palms of Schendi, could have made little effective resistance to the ships which had just passed us, nor could she, though swift for a round ship, have outrun them. |
10 |
| 6 | 164 |
"Our defense," said Shoka, "is that we are of Schendi". |
10 |
| 6 | 174 |
In the northern autumn they would return, to be refitted and supplied again in Schendi, and would then, a few weeks later, in the southern spring, ply their way southward. |
10 |
| 6 | 175 |
Schendi, located in the vicinity of the Gorean equator, somewhat south of it, provides the ships with a convenient base, from which they may conduct their affairs seasonally in both hemispheres. |
10 |
| 6 | 178 |
I had seen the passing of the fleet of the black slavers of Schendi. |
10 |
| 6 | 193 |
He was an important merchant and captain in Schendi. |
10 |
| 6 | 195 |
The Palms of Schendi would make her entrance in the morning, when the wharves were busy, the shops open and the traffic bustling. |
10 |
| 6 | 197 |
The Palms of Schendi sparkled. |
10 |
| 6 | 247 |
That could make a difference in what happened to her, and what happened to her could make a difference in the success or failure of my own mission in Schendi. |
10 |
| 6 | 295 |
Then I turned my attention away from the blond-haired girl, her intended role in my plans and what might lie ahead in Schendi. |
10 |
| 6 | 339 |
I had not realized the harbor at Schendi was so large. |
10 |
| 6 | 344 |
Its width, however, about two pasangs above Schendi, is constricted by the embankments. |
10 |
| 6 | 347 |
In moving upstream from Schendi there is a bypass, rather like a lock system, which provides a calm road for shipping until the Nyoka can be joined. |
10 |
| 6 | 348 |
This is commonly used only in moving east or upstream from Schendi. |
10 |
| 6 | 358 |
Not much of this fish, however, is exported from Schendi. |
10 |
| 6 | 360 |
Much kailiauk leather is processed in Schendi, brought to the port not only from inland but from north and south, from collection points, along the coast. |
10 |
| 6 | 362 |
Most perhaps, I could now smell the jungles behind Schendi. |
10 |
| 6 | 367 |
The impassive, painted eyes, white and black-pupiled, of the huge, brown kailiauk head at the prow now gazed upon the harbor of Schendi. |
10 |
| 6 | 387 |
Then she looked up, uneasily, at the ring in the ear of the kailiauk head, that proud adornment surmounting the prow of the Palms of Schendi, through which her wrist rope was strung. |
10 |
| 6 | 393 |
We were now some three pasangs from Schendi. |
10 |
| 6 | 395 |
Coming about Point Schendi, behind us, some two pasangs astern, was a round ship. |
10 |
| 6 | 398 |
"What will be done with us in Schendi?" asked the blond-haired girl of Sasi. |
10 |
| 6 | 421 |
She was now, incredibly enough, sufficiently beautiful to be found acceptable for the prow of the Palms of Schendi. |
10 |
| 6 | 433 |
"Schendi," I said to her. |
10 |
| 6 | 455 |
We were now some two pasangs out of Schendi. |
10 |
| 6 | 506 |
We were now some two pasangs out of Schendi. |
10 |
| 6 | 510 |
The line on her wrists went to, and through, the golden ring in the left ear of the kailiauk head at the prow of the Palms of Schendi. |
10 |
| 6 | 519 |
The knot at the ring was a simple bowline, familiar to all who know the sea, brought to Gor perhaps hundreds of years ago by mariners who had once sailed the Aegean or the Mediterranean, perhaps who had once called not such ports as Schendi or Bazi their own, but Miletus or Ephesus, or Syracuse or C... |
10 |
| 6 | 520 |
In a few moments Sasi, too, swung from a golden ring, she too suspended over the brownish waters outside Schendi. |
10 |
| 6 | 528 |
There are more than forty merchant wharves at Schendi, each one of which, extending into the harbor, accommodates four ships to a side. |
10 |
| 6 | 531 |
Many seemed to recognize the Palms of Schendi and she was well received. |
10 |
| 6 | 532 |
I had not realized that Schendi was as large or busy a port as it was. |
10 |
| 6 | 536 |
As the Palms of Schendi, her canvas now taken in and the long yards swung parallel with the deck, oars lifting and sweeping, moved past the wharves many men stopped working, setting down their burdens, to wave us good greetings. |
10 |
| 6 | 542 |
Many goods pass in and out of Schendi, as would be the case in any major port, such as precious metals, jewels, tapestries, rugs, silks, horn and horn products, medicines, sugars and salts, scrolls, papers, inks, lumber, stone, cloth, ointments, perfumes, dried fruit, some dried fish, many root vege... |
10 |
| 6 | 543 |
Schendi's most significant exports are doubtless spice and hides, with kailiauk horn and horn products also being of great importance. |
10 |
| 6 | 545 |
One of her most famous, and precious, exports are the small carved sapphires of Schendi. |
10 |
| 6 | 549 |
Slaves, interestingly, do not count as one of the major products in Schendi, in spite of the fact that the port is the headquarters of the League of Black Slavers. |
10 |
| 6 | 552 |
This is not to say, of course, that Schendi does not have excellent slave markets. |
10 |
| 6 | 554 |
The population of Schendi is probably about a million people. |
10 |
| 6 | 556 |
Individuals of all races, however, Schendi being a cosmopolitan port, frequent the city. |
10 |
| 6 | 557 |
Many merchant houses, from distant cities, have outlets or agents in Schendi. |
10 |
| 6 | 559 |
The equatorial waters about Schendi, of course, are open to shipping all year around. |
10 |
| 6 | 561 |
Schendi does not, of course, experience a winter. |
10 |

The farmers about Schendi, as farmers in the equatorial regions generally, do their main planting at the beginning of the "dry season". |
10 |
| 6 | 571 |
The farmers about Schendi are, in a sense, more gardeners than farmers. |
10 |
| 6 | 611 |
Schendi's merchant council, I supposed, could not be blamed for wishing to exercise due caution that a similar calamity did not befall their own port. |
10 |
| 6 | 687 |
"May I wish you good fortune in your business in Schendi," he said. |
10 |

"Are you going to sell me in Schendi?" asked Sasi. |
10 |
| 6 | 770 |
She did so, in her chains, kneeling on the hot boards of the wharf at Schendi. |

The Market of Uchafu There are many fine slave markets in Schendi, in particular, those of Ushanga, Mkufu, Utajiri, Dhähabu, Fedha, Marashi, Hariri, Kovu, and Ngoma. |
10 |
| 7 | 10 |
"You will find that we have here the finest slaves in all Schendi". |
10 |
| 7 | 21 |
It was muddy in the market, for it had rained yesterday afternoon and evening, after our arrival in Schendi. |
10 |
| 7 | 26 |
It is adjacent, on the south, to a large market where river fish are peddled for consumption in Schendi. |
10 |
| 7 | 87 |
"They are now scarce in Schendi," he said. |
10 |
| 7 | 100 |
Indeed, only this year Bila Huruma has demanded quotas of men from Schendi herself". |
10 |
| 7 | 102 |
"We have strengthened our defenses," said Uchafu, "reinforcing the palisaded walls which shield Schendi from the interior, but we must not delude ourselves. |
10 |
| 7 | 108 |
"If he wishes," said Uchafu, "he could enter and burn Schendi". |
10 |
| 7 | 115 |
"Schendi," said he, "is like a flower at the feet of a kailiauk". |
10 |
| 7 | 120 |
"But do not concern yourself with our troubles," he said, "for you are not of Schendi". |
10 |
| 7 | 140 |
Yesterday, after I had left the blond-haired barbarian at the wharf, I had taken lodging at the Cove of Schendi, a rooming house in the vicinity of wharf ten which caters to foreign sailors. |
10 |
| 7 | 142 |
I threw my sea bag beside the sea chest, braceleted Sasi's hands before her body about the ring, left the room, locked the door, dropped the key in my pouch and made my way downstairs, to return inconspicuously to the vicinity of wharf eight, where the Palms of Schendi was disembarking her cargo. |
10 |
| 7 | 145 |
Shoka removed the shipping collar of the Palms of Schendi from her neck. |
10 |
| 7 | 151 |
He then returned to the Palms of Schendi. |
10 |
| 7 | 155 |
I think the girl, even if she had known the streets of Schendi, would have been utterly confused as to her direction or whereabouts. |
10 |
| 8 | 25 |
All she had seen of Schendi was the harbor and wharf. |
10 |
| 8 | 53 |
I looked behind me occasionally, but I saw only the normal occupants and passers-by of the streets of Schendi. |
10 |
| 8 | 55 |
If inquiries had been made it would be recalled that he who had arrived in the Palms of Schendi had been, at least ostensibly, of the metal workers. |
10 |
| 8 | 87 |
I used the Telnus Defense on the fellow, a response to his Ubara's Gambit, which I thought might be unknown in Schendi, as it had first been seen only last spring at the Fair of En'Kara, near the Sardar Mountains. |
10 |
| 8 | 94 |
"Do you think we are barbarians in Schendi?" he asked. |
10 |
| 9 | 12 |
I had then, wrapped in the discarded aba of Kunguni, made my way through the streets to the Cove of Schendi. |
10 |

I Make Inquiries of Kipofu, Who is Ubar of the Beggars of Schendi The blind man lifted his white, sightless eyes to me. |
10 |
| 10 | 9 |
He was Ubar of the beggars of Schendi. |
10 |
| 10 | 11 |
"It is said," I said, "that though you are blind there is little which you do not see in Schendi". |
10 |
| 10 | 17 |
"There is little that transpires in Schendi which can escape your notice," I told him. |
10 |
| 10 | 27 |
He was blind, and half naked and filthy, but I knew him to be the Ubar of the beggars of Schendi. |
10 |
| 10 | 35 |
It was he who had first effectively organized the beggars of Schendi, stabilizing their numbers and distributing and allotting their territories. |
10 |
| 10 | 36 |
None might now beg in Schendi without his permission and none might transgress the territory of another. |
10 |
| 10 | 39 |
No beggar now in Schendi was truly without shelter, or medical care or needed go hungry. |
10 |
| 10 | 42 |
One consequence of the organization of the beggars, incidentally, was that Schendi did not have many beggars. |
10 |
| 10 | 44 |
Unwanted beggars had the choice of having their passage paid from Schendi or concluding their simple careers in the harbor. |
10 |
| 10 | 50 |
"None in Schendi who begs is known as Kunguni," he said. |
10 |
| 10 | 54 |
Kipofu, I knew, through the organization of the beggars, their covering of territories, and their reports, as well as his use of them as messengers and spies, was perhaps the most informed man in Schendi. |
10 |
| 10 | 56 |
There were few tremors in Schendi which did not, sooner or later, reach Kipofu on his simple etem in the square. |
10 |
| 10 | 119 |
I then turned about and strode away, taking my leave from the presence of Kipofu, Ubar of the beggars of Schendi. |
10 |
| 11 | 142 |
Most of the buildings of Schendi have wooden ventilator shafts at the roof, which may be opened and closed. |
10 |
| 11 | 148 |
Otherwise indoor living in Schendi could be difficult to bear. |
10 |
| 11 | 170 |
These men, I was sure, were not of Schendi. |
10 |
| 11 | 223 |
I took passage for Schendi on the Blossoms of Telnus, a ship of Cos. |
10 |
| 11 | 233 |
I was purchased by the merchant, Ulafi, of Schendi. |
10 |
| 11 | 262 |
"Perhaps he would give them to an agent," said the girl, "to be brought to Schendi for sale to Shaba". |
10 |
| 11 | 266 |
Too, an agent, carrying the notes, might be dealt with in Schendi not with gold but steel". |
10 |
| 11 | 276 |
"The notes must come first to Schendi". |
10 |
| 12 | 1 |
Business is Discussed in Schendi; I Acquire a New Girl "I have come to negotiate for the ring," I said. |
10 |
| 12 | 4 |
"Are they in Schendi?" asked Shaba. |
10 |
| 12 | 60 |
"It is an old Schendi trick," said Shaba. |
10 |
| 12 | 129 |
"How long have you known I was in Schendi?" I asked. |
10 |
| 12 | 130 |
"Since the arrival of the Palms of Schendi," he said. |
10 |
| 12 | 136 |
"I have been under surveillance since arriving in Schendi," I said. |
10 |
| 12 | 138 |
"You know, then, doubtless, my new residence," I said, "that which I acquired following my departure from the Cove of Schendi". |
10 |
| 12 | 147 |
"By the time I had brought the blond slave here and returned to the Cove of Schendi, you had already made your departure". |
10 |
| 12 | 169 |
"We have here only Schendi paga, but I think it is quite good. |
10 |
| 12 | 182 |
In a few moments she returned with a bottle of Schendi paga and four cups. |
10 |
| 12 | 197 |
"You are going by the name of Tarl of Teletus, I believe," he said, "if my inquiries in Schendi have served me properly". |
10 |
| 13 | 810 |
I carried her through the streets of Schendi. |
10 |
| 14 | 17 |
"Is that not the girl from the Palms of Schendi?" asked Sasi. |
10 |
| 14 | 393 |
I did not know such women could exist, until I saw several in Cos, when I was free, and some on the wharves of Port Kar and Schendi, after I myself, sold in a market, became a slave". |
10 |
| 14 | 424 |
We had then eaten, from foods which she had, during my rest, I having given her a few coins, purchased in Schendi. |
10 |
| 14 | 717 |
From the sea bag I drew forth the notes for fortunes, made out to Shaba, to be drawn on various of the banks of Schendi, and the false ring, that which he was supposed to carry to the Sardar in place of the true ring. |
10 |
| 14 | 739 |
"Schendi may not be an easy place in which to survive," I told her. |
10 |
| 14 | 749 |
"But Schendi may not be an easy place in which to survive. |
10 |
| 15 | 142 |
"Kunguni the beggar," said Msaliti, "cannot well enter the edifices on Schendi's Street of Coins". |
10 |
| 15 | 191 |
"I am leaving Schendi tonight," said Shaba. |
10 |
| 15 | 260 |
"You must put men upon Schendi's Street of Coins," I said. |
10 |
| 15 | 287 |
Another five or six were guardsmen of Schendi. |
10 |
| 15 | 288 |
There was also an officer there of the merchant council of Schendi. |
10 |
| 15 | 306 |
"You are an officer of Schendi," I said to the man in charge of the guardsmen. |
10 |
| 15 | 314 |
"There is no place in Schendi," he said, "for criminal vagabonds". |
10 |
| 15 | 320 |
"He arrived in Schendi," said Msaliti, "in the garb of a metal worker. |
10 |
| 15 | 324 |
"The work levy imposed on Schendi is due to leave in the morning," said Msaliti. |
10 |
| 15 | 325 |
"Perhaps this fellow could take the place of a good citizen of Schendi in that levy?" "Would you find that acceptable?" asked the officer. |
10 |
| 15 | 333 |
"And Schendi fights for her life". |
10 |
| 15 | 337 |
"You had the cooperation of the council of Schendi," I said. |
10 |
| 16 | 41 |
Ayari was of Schendi, a thief. |
10 |
| 16 | 43 |
Schendi was using the misfortune of the levies in order, as much as possible, to rid itself of its less desirable citizens. |
10 |
| 16 | 45 |
Ayari, of Schendi, of course, spoke Gorean. |
10 |
| 16 | 50 |
They had then lived in Schendi. |
10 |
| 16 | 52 |
It is estimated that some five to eight percent of the people of Schendi are familiar with the inland speech. |
10 |
| 16 | 64 |
I found it astonishing, and I think most Goreans would have, even those of Schendi, that a ubarate of the size and sophistication of that of Bila Huruma could exist in the equatorial interior. |
10 |
| 16 | 102 |
"Our only hope," said a man to my left, also, like Ayari, from Schendi, "are the hostile tribes". |
10 |
| 16 | 113 |
"Those of Schendi, too," said Ayari, "are not too pleased with the project". |
10 |
| 16 | 116 |
"There are mixed feelings in Schendi," said the man to my left. |
10 |
| 16 | 141 |
"You think like one of Schendi, not one of the interior". |
10 |
| 18 | 76 |
The first, a commoner, had slain a boatsman from Schendi. |
10 |
| 18 | 80 |
He had slain not one of the domain of Bila Huruma but one of Schendi. |
10 |
| 18 | 156 |
We now wish, as doubtless will other merchant holdings, such as our sisters, Schendi and Bazi, to accord you our best wishes and to sue for your favor, that our shipping and merchants may be permitted to prove themselves of service in your future ventures". |
10 |

"But it is a saying that is also known east of Schendi". |
10 |
| 18 | 285 |
"Even east of Schendi," I smiled, "the throne is a lonely country". |
10 |
| 19 | 146 |
"Only those in Schendi might hire such a killer. |
10 |
| 20 | 39 |
"She was sold to a tavern keeper in Schendi," called the girl, "one called Filimbi". |
10 |
| 22 | 4 |
There had been three vessels, of the sort which had been prepared in Ianda and brought to Schendi, and then to Lake Ushindi by way of the Nyoka, part of the fleet which Bila Huruma was organizing to support the explorations of Shaba, navigating the Ua, into the far interior. |
10 |
| 22 | 10 |
It seemed clear to me that Shaba must be in flight, and I had little doubt that he must have the ring with him, to obtain which had been the object of my journey to Schendi. |
10 |
| 23 | 46 |
He wore a long black robe, embroidered with golden thread, and a flat, soft cap, not unlike a common garb of Schendi, hundreds of pasangs distant. |
10 |

I lived for two years in Schendi, then returned to Ukungu". |

"It is a saying of Schendi," he said. |
10 |

She had lost much ground since Schendi. |
10 |
| 25 | 79 |
"Do you not remember the beautiful girl you saw in the mirror, in Schendi?" I asked. |
10 |
| 31 | 81 |
Why do you not take me and use me, as the slave I am? You made me yield as a slave so absolutely in Schendi. |
10 |
| 33 | 111 |
"I have seen it done in Schendi," said Ayari. |
10 |
| 33 | 116 |
It is widely known on Gor, of course, not just in Schendi. |
10 |
| 34 | 53 |
"Yet you have not taken me since Schendi," she said. |
10 |
| 34 | 67 |
Did she not realize that she had seen in Schendi, in those brief moments, the slave she had for so long concealed within herself, that she had seen then, frightened, scarcely daring to recognize her, her own self? What cruelties could men inflict upon women, I wondered, which could half compare with... |
10 |
| 34 | 189 |
I had wanted her shipped to Schendi that I might, by means of her, following her sales and exchanges, be led to the lair of the treacherous Shaba, traitor to Priest-Kings. |
10 |
| 48 | 26 |
From Bazi I went to Schendi. |
10 |
| 48 | 27 |
In Schendi I was contacted by an agent of Shaba, who was secretly recruiting oarsmen for a venture in the interior. |
10 |
| 53 | 33 |
On his right hand, now, he wore another ring, the fang ring, which, filled with kanda, I had seen earlier in Schendi. |
10 |
| 53 | 124 |
"What of the moneys, those vast sums wrought from the Kurii, the notes negotiated in Schendi?" I asked. |
10 |
| 54 | 98 |
"We shall take them back to Ushindi, and you may then, with a suitable escort, convey them down the Nyoka to Schendi. |

She knelt on the hot boards of the wharf at Schendi. |
10 |
| 57 | 36 |
"You wish to take passage again on the Palms of Schendi," he asked, "for return to Port Kar?" "With your permission, Captain," I said. |
10 |
| 57 | 40 |
When I had returned to Schendi I had borne with me notes from the court of Bila Huruma. |
10 |
| 57 | 41 |
The moneys which I had lost when apprehended in Schendi, for seizure and transportation to the canal, had been returned to me. |
10 |
| 57 | 75 |
Beyond this he had been born and raised in Schendi and, accordingly, spoke Gorean fluently. |
10 |
| 57 | 77 |
Such a man might profitably be employed by a Ubar who wished to improve his relations not only with the interior but, too, with the city of Schendi, one of the major ports of civilized Gor. |
10 |

There were probably few who thought that the little rogue of Schendi, the son of a lad who had once fled a village for stealing melons, would one day stand at the side of a throne. |

"If you wish," he had said, indicating Tende, who knelt beside them, "I will take this slave and arrange for her sale in Schendi. |
10 |

"I will have them sold in Schendi," he said. |
10 |
| 57 | 137 |
The talunas, last night, in a lot, had been sold to the black slavers of Schendi. |
10 |

He pulled Janice to her feet, holding her head at his hip, and then, leading her behind him, bent over, conducted her up the gangplank to the deck of the Palms of Schendi. |
10 |

There were as yet two empty slave cages on the deck of the Palms of Schendi, cages for which I had arranged. |
10 |

The man from the tavern of Filimbi, to which she had been sold after I had been taken from Schendi, some months ago, was but a few feet behind her. |

"I have moneys here in Schendi," he said, "notes which I have drawn upon my return from the Ua, moneys connected with my fees for accompanying Shaba's expedition. |

"It is less dangerous now for an outlander to remain in Schendi," I said, "since Ayari became wazir to Bila Huruma". |
10 |
| 57 | 317 |
No longer now did Bila Huruma demand men from Schendi for the canal. |
10 |
| 57 | 318 |
This alteration in policy in itself had inaugurated a new era and climate in the relations between Schendi and the empire of Bila Huruma. |
10 |
| 57 | 319 |
I had little doubt but what Ayari had clarified to Bila Huruma the value of the friendship and facilities of the men of Schendi. |
10 |

I then ascended the gangplank and boarded the Palms of Schendi. |
