1	222	I saw the ship descend.	10
1	226	As I did so, a door in the side of the ship slid quietly upward.	10
1	229	Before entering the ship, I stopped at the side of the large, flat rock on which it rested.	10
2	171	Even the technology of the envelope with its patterned thumb-lock, the disorientation of my compass, and the ship that had brought me, unconscious, to this strange world, argued for an incredible grasp of unusual, precise, and manipulable forces.	10
2	215	"What of the ship that brought me here?" I asked.	10
2	217	"I do not believe the ship was manned by any of the Men Below the Mountains".	10
2	219	"Frankly," said my father, "I believe the ship was remotely controlled from the Sardar Mountains, as are said to be all the Voyages of Acquisition".	10
3	129	Occasionally, however, an English word in Gorean, like "ax" or "ship," would delight me.	10

2	3	I rose slowly to my feet, my fibers alive in the wind, my hair torn by its blasts, my muscles each aching and rejoicing in their first movements in perhaps weeks, for I had again entered that silver disk in the White Mountains which was the ship of the Priest-Kings, used for the Voyages of Acquisiti...	10

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
29	56	While they seemed to hang undecided in space, almost like puzzled cells in a droplet of water, I dove again, and the third ship broke apart as though it were a toy beneath a falling cutlass of fire, and I climbed once more, the flame of the silver tube stabbing ahead of me, hitting the fourth ship a...	10
29	108	I flashed my ship to the ground only an instant before the entire ship above me seemed to explode silently in a storm of metallic dust glinting in the light of the energy bulbs above.	10
29	109	In the cover of the drifting remains of the ship shattered above me I darted among the streets of the complex and rose behind the last ship.	10
29	125	The ship was now on its back and I was standing inside on its ceiling and then the ship righted itself and I found the silver tube again.	10
29	156	Since there was, from my point of view, no way of seeing just where I was going, since I could not use the sensory instrumentation of Priest-Kings, without cutting more holes in the ship and perhaps starting a fire or causing an explosion of some sort, I decided to abandon the ship.	10
32	54	A moment later another ship, piloted by Ba-Ta, appeared and settled by its sister ship.	10
1	96	I myself had traveled in a ship of the Priest-Kings which had twice carried me to this world; I had seen their power so subtly exercised as to alter the movements of a compass needle, so grossly demonstrated as to destroy a city, leaving behind not even the stones of what had once been a dwelling pl...	10
16	143	"When I entered the ship I fell unconscious," I said.	10
16	145	"Was the ship operated from the Sardar?" I asked.	10
28	218	In the fourth week of the War in the Nest our ship was outfitted and armored.	10
28	220	The ship was simply a transportation disk whose underside was coated with cage plastic and whose top was a transparent dome of the same material.	10
28	221	There were controls in the forward portion of the ship and ports about the sides for silver tubes.	10
28	225	I would not have believed the ship was possible but I found it difficult to offer the arguments of my old world's physics against the fact of Misk's success.	10
28	232	Needless to say, although ironically, the first transportation disk prepared for flight was a ship of war.	10
28	242	When we had constructed the ship we felt that now we had what might prove to be, in this strange subterranean war, the decisive weapon.	10
28	243	The fire of silver tubes could damage and in time destroy the ship but yet its cage plastic offered considerable protection to its crew who might, with some degree of safety, mete out destruction to all that crossed its path.	10
28	244	Accordingly it seemed to Misk, and I concurred, that an ultimatum should be issued to Sarm's troops and that, if possible, the ship should not be used in battle.	10
29	14	I ran toward the workshop where Misk and I had left the ship we had fashioned from the transportation disk.	10
29	39	Had it truly been Vika of Treve? I raced to the workshop of Misk and flung open the double doors and leaped into the ship and secured the hatch, and in a moment it seemed the floor dropped a foot beneath me and the doors rushed forward.	10
29	40	In less than a few Ihn I had brought the ship into the large Nest complex where the ten ships of Sarm still followed their grim, precise, destructive pattern, as placidly and methodically as one might paint lines on a surface or mow a lawn.	10
29	42	Moreover, I knew that the cage plastic with which my own ship was protected would be no more protection than tissue paper against Sarm's weapons, the nature of which was not to pierce or melt but, from a given center, radiating outwards, to shatter material gravitationally, breaking it apart and sca...	10
29	45	I took the lead ship into my sights and dropped toward it, narrowing the range to increase the effectiveness of the silver tube.	10
29	73	Suddenly the ship beneath me seemed to quiver and then it blurred and disappeared.	10
29	75	The first ship to near the exit seemed to burst into a cloud of powder but the next four ships, and myself, who had fallen into line with them, pierced the veil of powder and found ourselves coursing through the tunnel back toward Sarm's domain.	10
29	79	Some of the materials flew with such a force that gashes were cut in the obdurate cage plastic and the ship was buffeted and jostled but it cut its way through this jungle of flying parts and found itself again streaming down the tunnel.	10
29	81	Just as the three ships burst into the open of another huge complex I caught up with them and opened fire on the third ship but my fire seemed less effective this time and though I gave it a full burst the charging of the tube seemed at last almost exhausted.	10
29	82	The third ship moved erratically, one side black and wrinkled with the scar of my attack.	10
29	85	I took my ship up over the craft and tried another burst, which was even weaker than the last.	10
29	86	I tried to keep above the ship, staying away from the disrupter cone on its bow.	10
29	88	At that moment I saw the hatch on the injured but threatening ship fly up and the head of a Priest-King emerge.	10
29	89	I suppose that some of the scanning instrumentation had been damaged in the ship.	10
29	92	Like an angry hornet I flew to the open hatch of the injured ship and blasted away into the hatch, filling the insides with fire.	10
29	93	It tumbled away like a balloon and exploded in the air as I dropped my ship almost to the ground.	10
29	94	I was quick but not quick enough because the plastic dome of my ship above me seemed to fly away in the wind leaving a trail of particles behind.	10
29	98	The ship of Sarm passed overhead like a hawk and then began to circle.	10
29	99	I would have had a clean burst at the ship but the tube was, for all practical purposes, no longer an effective weapon.	10
29	101	I realized there was little I could do so I took the ship up and under the attacker.	10
29	103	The wind whistled past and I was almost pulled from the controls of the ship.	10
29	105	The other ship of Sarm was turning slowly, deliberately, on its fellow.	10
29	106	I could not believe what I saw but there was no mistaking the elevation of the disrupter cone, the calm, almost unhurried manner in which the other ship was drawing a bead on its fellow.	10
29	107	The ship above me seemed to tremble and tried to turn and flee and then sensing the futility of this it turned again and tried to train its own disrupter cone on its fellow.	10
29	111	To my dismay I saw the last ship turning slowly toward me and I saw the disrupter cone rise and focus on me.	10
29	116	Then without warning it seemed the stern of my craft vanished and I felt the deck suddenly give way and as half of the craft vanished in powder and the other half crumbled to the buildings below I seized the silver tube from the firing port and leaped downward to the back of the enemy ship.	10
29	118	It was locked! The ship began to bank.	10
29	119	Probably the pilots had heard wreckage hit their ship and were banking to drop it into the streets below, or perhaps they were actually aware that I had boarded them.	10
29	121	The ship banked more steeply.	10
29	123	I wrenched the hatch open and it swung wildly out from its locked side and suddenly I hung there, one hand on the rim, one hand on the silver tube, as the ship lay on its side in the air.	10
29	124	Then before the ship could roll I tossed the tube inside and squirmed in after it.	10
29	126	The inside of the ship was dark, for its only intended occupants were Priest-Kings, but the open hatch permitted some light.	10
29	144	Did it wish me to comb the antennae? Was it conscious? Was it mad with pain? I stood not understanding and then the Priest-King did what he wished: with a toss of his great golden head he hurled his antennae against my blade, cutting them from his head, and then, after a moment, having closed himsel...	10
29	145	The ship, as I discovered, had been manned by only two Priest-Kings, probably one at the controls, the other at the weapon.	10
29	147	It was dark in the ship, except in the vicinity of the opened hatch.	10
29	155	Once I bumped the craft rather severely into the wall of the complex and I could see the explosion of an energy bulb outside through my makeshift port, but I soon managed to bring the ship down safely.	10
29	159	Accordingly, it seemed safest to leave the ship and find some ventilator shaft and make my way back to Misk's area by means of it.	10
29	160	I crawled out of the ship through the hatch and slid over the side to the ground.	10
32	76	I saw that the last ship was preparing to take flight through the hole torn above in the ceiling of the complex.	10
32	86	Then together we watched the ship float swiftly upward like a small white star and disappear in the blue distance beyond.	10

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
7	99	The man from the ship, seemingly anxious to be on his way, had now returned to the interior of the ship.	10
5	146	In the vicinity of the Sardar Mountains I had brought the tarn down on the quiet, flat, gray-metal, disklike surface, some forty feet in diameter, of the ship, some two miles above the surface of Gor.	10
5	147	The ship did not move, but remained as stationary in the sun and the whipping wind as though it were fixed on some invisible post or platform.	10
5	150	On the surface of the ship, tall and thin, like the blade of a golden knife, his forelegs lifted delicately before his body, his golden antennae blown in the wind, there stood, with the incredible fixity and alertness of his kind, a Priest-King.	10
5	151	I leaped from the back of the tarn and stood on the ship, in the radiant cloud-filtered sunlight.	10
5	187	"What of Ko-ro-ba, and of Talena?" I had questioned Misk, even on the ship, before we returned to the Nest beneath the Sardar.	10
5	214	Misk had soon brought the ship to the Sardar.	10
5	352	"There is little evidence of that," said Misk, "though they do have Ship Loyalty, for their artificial mode of existence requires responsibility and discipline.	10
5	353	We have noted that among the Others who have been settled on Gor there has been, once out of the ship, a degeneration of interrelated roles, resulting in anarchy until the institution of authority resting on superior strength and fear".	10
7	1	The Ship I could see the black disk now, moving swiftly, but not at great altitude, passing among the night clouds, under the three moons of Gor.	10
7	60	About a hundred yards from the shelf the ship stopped, stationary, more than two thousand feet from the ground below.	10
7	61	I saw Ho-Tu looking at the ship, marveling.	10
7	63	It is a ship.	10
7	69	There was a moment's pause and then, from the ship, there came an answering light, repeating the signal, except that its signal terminated with two reds.	10
7	71	The ship then began to ease toward the shelf, moving perhaps no more rapidly than a man might walk.	10
7	73	The ship was disklike, as are the ships of Priest-Kings, but it had observation apertures, which the ships of Priest-Kings lack.	10
7	78	A panel in the side of the black ship slid back and a man's head appeared.	10
7	85	"Look," said the man to Cernus, leading him about the side of the ship.	10
7	87	"A patrol ship," said the man.	10
7	93	I gathered that they had seen this ship, or others like it, before, but that they had little inkling of the nature of the events that were transpiring.	10
7	94	Indeed, I suspected that other than Cernus there were none who truly understood the nature of the ship and its mission, and perhaps he only incompletely.	10
7	132	The man with the Thief's scar laughed, and turned to accept another box from a man deeper within the ship.	10
7	134	"Not to Priest-Kings," said the man in the ship.	10
7	136	"Ah," said one of the tarnsmen, seeing the man on the ship hand out the first of several heavy squares of gold.	10
7	144	I then watched while ten cylindrical tubes, apparently of transparent plastic, were removed from the ship.	10
7	151	The cylinders were then returned to the ship.	10
7	153	The man with the Thief's scar again emerged from the ship, this time with a syringe.	10
7	160	The man with the Thief's scar then reentered the ship, and the panel slid shut.	10
7	184	Perhaps once, long ago, she had been brought, like these others, to Gor, on the black ship of a slaver.	10
8	140	"Originally, doubtless beans were brought from Earth," I said, "much as certain other seeds, and silk worms and such, but I doubt very much that the ship I saw last night had in its cargo anything as trivial as the beans for black wine".	10
10	30	"Where are the women who were brought to the Voltai last night on the black ship?" "In the kennels," he said.	10
11	7	The expression "kennels" is sometimes used similarly, but more often it refers to a kind of small, cement cell, customarily about three feet by three feet by four feet, with an iron gate, which can be raised and lowered; similar cells, but entirely of bars, are also common, and are to be found in th...	10

17	328	In the pit of sand one of the guards, utterly drunk, was performing a ship dance, the movement of his legs marvelously suggesting the pitch and roll of a deck, his hands moving as though climbing rope, then hauling rope, then splicing and knotting it.	10
17	333	The man who had been dancing the ship dance had now left the pit of sand and, over against one wall, in the shadows of the torchlight, largely unnoted, danced alone, danced for himself the memories of gleaming Thassa and the swift black ships, the Tarns of the Sea, as the galleys of Port Kar are kno...	10
18	369	Each seemed piled with boxes; I recognized the boxes as being of the general sort which I had seen unloaded from the Slavers' ship in the Voltai.	10

Book 6. (175 results) Raiders of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
10	30	Medium class for a long ship, or ram-ship, is determined not by freight capacity but by keel length and width of beam; a medium-class long ship, or ram-ship, will have a keel length of from eighty to one hundred and twenty feet Gorean; and a width of beam of from ten to fifteen feet Gorean.	10
10	274	The fighting ship, incidentally, the long ship, the ram-ship, has never been, to my knowledge, in Port Kar, or Cos, or Tyros, or elsewhere on Gor, rowed by slaves; the Gorean fighting ship always has free men at the oars.	10
13	432	For an ugly moment the ship canted sharply to starboard and we shipped water through the thole ports, but then the other ship, with her shearing blade, passed, and the Rena righted herself, but rocked helplessly, lame in the water.	10
13	461	"And your crew seems skilled," I said, "and the ship is a good ship".	10
14	53	From this account it may perhaps be conjectured why the oar power of a single-banked ram-ship is often comparable or superior to that of a doubly- or trebly-banked ship.	10
14	56	If we suppose a trebly-banked ship with one hundred and twenty oarsmen, say, in three banks of twenty each to a side, I think we can see she would have to be a rather large ship, and a good deal heavier than the single-decked, three-men-to-a-bench type, also with one hundred and twenty oarsmen.	10
14	61	In questions of ramming, I suppose the heavier ship would deliver the heaviest blow, but, even this might be contested, for the lighter ship would, presumably, be moving more rapidly.	10
14	62	Further, of course, the chances of being rammed by a lighter ship are greater than those of being rammed by a heavier ship, because of the greater speed and maneuverability of the former.	10
14	189	We saw the ship ahead of us trying to come about, but, before she could make four points of the Gorean compass, our ram struck the corner of her stern, skidding through and freeing itself, the ships, the Dorna's port oars inboard, grating together, and then the Dorna was clear, free, and we were dri...	10
14	250	I had little doubt that the Dorna, a somewhat lighter ship, with better lines and shorter keel, would be more responsive to her helm than the other ship and that, sooner or later, as the circles grew smaller, she would be able to wheel and take her foe in the stern quarter or amidships.	10
14	303	They, though they carry oarsmen, generally slaves, are more of a sailing ship than the ram-ship.	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	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.	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.	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.	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...	10
7	16	One beautiful girl was tied to the prow of each ship that, in returning to Port Kar, others might see that the raid had been successful.	10
7	58	He, facing the rowers, faces toward the ship's bow, they, of course, in their rowing facing the stern.	10
8	347	Both of his ankles were shackled to a beam running lengthwise of the ship and bolted to the deck; the chain on the shackles ran through the beam itself, through a circular hole cut in the beam and lined with an iron tube; the slaves behind him, as the beam, or beams, passed beneath their thwarts, we...	10
9	125	Two of the ship's lanterns had been broken.	10
9	161	And even should she, somehow, fall, her men need only take ship, and then, when it pleased them, return, ordering slaves again to build in the delta a city called Port Kar.	10
9	224	In the shouts, under the ship's lanterns, I saw the flesh leap from the cheek of one of the seamen.	10
9	245	And, as I watched, on that square of sand between the tables in a paga tavern in Port Kar, under the ship's lanterns, the movements of the body of a slave girl, the lights reflected in her chains, the rubies, the shimmering golden droplets, I grew slowly furious.	10
9	516	Others lay, wrapped in ship's cloaks, against the wall.	10
10	19	Both are predominantly oared vessels, but the round ship carries a heavier, permanent rigging, and supports more sail, being generally two-masted.	10
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.	10
10	22	In a round ship this means she would be able, in Earth figures, to freight between approximately one hundred and one hundred and fifty tons below decks.	10
10	25	A medium-class round ship should be able to carry from 5,000 to 7,500 Gorean Weight.	10
10	54	He had been a captain for only four months, having acquired the fifth ship, medium class, required.	10
10	60	He had received his fifth ship as a gift from the Ubar Henrius Sevarius, claiming to be the fifth of his line.	10
10	145	A war ship going into battle, incidentally, always takes its mast down and stores its sail below decks.	10
10	146	The bulwarks and deck of the ship are often covered with wet hides.	10
10	171	On the other hand, the wages tend to be so slight that an organization seldom has the means to mount a long strike; the arsenal can normally be patient, and can usually choose to build a ship a month from now rather than now, but one cannot well arrange to eat a month from now, and not today, or tom...	10
10	190	He had dared to suggest a redesign of the standard tarn ship.	10
10	193	I recall men shouting, "Many men could not all sit through the stroke of an oar! Would you have them stand?" "So great an oar could not even be held by the hands of a man!" "Two masts with their sails could not be quickly removed before battle!" "You will slow the ship if you deepen the keel!" "If m...	10
10	195	These are huge quarter-moons of steel, fixed forward of the oars, anchored into the frame of the ship itself.	10
10	197	The injured galley then is like a broken-winged bird, and at the mercy of the other ship's ram as she comes about, flutes playing and drums beating, and makes her strike amidships.	10
10	199	Tersites had also, it might be mentioned, though he had not presented these ideas in his appearance before the council, argued for a rudder hung on the sternpost of the tarn ship, rather than the two side-hung rudders, and had championed a square rigging, as opposed to the beautiful lateen rigging c...	10
10	227	It is scarcely worth the risk of crew and ship, unless desperate, to win a hold filled with lumber or stone.	10
11	87	At the far edge of the piazza, in one of the bordering canals, nosing forward to take a berth between two tiled piers, we saw a ram-ship, medium class.	10
11	93	I could see, even at the distance, leaping from the prow of the ship to the tiles of the piazza, running across the large, oblique-looking, colored squares toward the Hall of the Council of Captains, the great Thurnock, with his yellow bow, followed by Clitus, with his net and trident, and by Tab, w...	10
11	580	"A galley," I said, "a ram-ship, heavy class".	10
11	581	I had no such ship.	10
11	594	Further, even if my mission failed, I would be richer by a galley, and that a ram-ship of heavy class, the most redoubtable naval weapon on gleaming Thassa.	10
13	5	Some four months ago I, in my swiftest ram-ship, accompanied by my two other ram-ships, and escorted, as well, by five ram-ships of the arsenal, heavy class, had come to the vast, wall-encircled harbors of Telnus, which is the capital city of the Ubarate of Cos.	10
13	50	"When," snarled Lurius, "you find yourself chained in the rowing hold of a round ship, you may, my fine captain of Port Kar, bethink yourself less brave and clever than now you do".	10
13	198	"Have you ever been in the hold of a round ship?" I asked.	10
13	259	"May I ask," I asked, "the name of my master and his ship?" "I am Tenrik," said he, "Tenrik of Temos.	10
13	260	Your ship will be the Rena of Temos".	10
13	279	She was indeed a round ship.	10
13	281	Such a ship would be slow.	10
13	283	"You will not find this an easy ship to row," said the oar-master, chaining my ankles to the heavy footbrace.	10
13	288	Before him, since this was a large ship, there sat a keleustes, a strong man, a time-beater, with leather-wrapped wrists.	10
13	293	The sails would not be dropped from the yards until the ship was clear of the harbor.	10
13	294	I heard the creak of the great side-rudders and felt the heavy, sweet, living movement of the caulked timbers of the ship.	10
13	296	The eyes of the ship, painted on either side of the bow, would now have turned toward the opening of the harbor of Telnus.	10
13	298	It is the last thing that is done for the ship before it is first launched.	10
13	299	The painting of the eyes reflects the Gorean seaman's belief that the ship is a living thing.	10
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.	10
13	315	The main mast was a bit forward of amidships, and the foremast was some four or five yards abaft of the ship's yoke.	10
13	317	We had made good time for a heavy ship, but then the wind had slacked.	10
13	336	I heard the voice of the captain, Tenrik, crying to his helmsmen, "Hard to starboard!" The big ship began to swing to starboard.	10
13	394	"Faster!" "This is not a tarn ship!" cried the oar-master.	10
13	477	"You are worthy," said I, "of calling stroke on a ram-ship".	10
13	502	The green ship, in the bright sun, can be almost invisible.	10
13	512	By the end of the second month the flag of Bosk, carried by one ship or another, was known from Ianda to Torvaldsland, and from the delta of the Vosk to the throne rooms of Cos and Tyros.	10
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.	10
14	1	How Bosk Conducted Business Upon Thassa It must be understood that the ship itself is the weapon.	10
14	2	The Dorna, a tarn ship, is not untypical of her class.	10
14	17	Behind the ram, to prevent it from going too deeply into an enemy ship, pinning the attacker, is, shaped like the spread crest of a tarn, the shield.	10
14	18	The entire ship is built in such a way that the combined strength of the keel, stempost and strut-frames centers itself at the ram, or spur.	10
14	19	The ship is, thus, itself the weapon.	10
14	23	The sternpost is high, and fanlike; it is carved to represent feathers; the actual tail feathers of a tarn, however, would be horizontal to the plane, not vertical; the prow of the tarn ship resembles the ram and shield, though it is made of painted wood; it is designed and painted to resemble the h...	10
14	29	They resemble quarter moons of steel and are fastened into the frames of the ship itself.	10
14	41	The length of those oars on a tarn ship commonly varies from twenty-seven to thirty foot Gorean.	10
14	54	The major questions involve the number and size of oars that can be practically mounted, balanced against the size of ship required for the differing arrangements.	10
14	60	The other type of ship, though found occasionally, does not seem, at least currently, to present a distinct challenge to the low, swift, single-banked ships.	10
14	64	At any rate, whatever the reasons or rationale, the single-banked tarn ship, of which the Dorna is an example, is the dominant type on Thassa.	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.	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.	10
14	76	The slaves, eager for the capture of the vessel by one of my ships, could scarcely be expected to row with their full strength, and the masters, knowing full well the ship might be taken, feared, under the conditions obtaining, to seriously abuse or slay the chained oarsmen.	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.	10
14	94	I could hear, moreover, their war trumpets, carrying from one ship to the other, signaling fleet movements.	10
14	144	I watched a burning javelin from the lead ship of the pursuers arc gracefully and smoking through the air and drop hissing into the water some fifteen yards to my right, abeam of the stern.	10
14	149	My own ship, perhaps recognized as the probable flagship, it having been first in the original formation, was honored by five pursuers.	10
14	159	It was the twelfth Ahn before the commander of the first pursuing ship understood either that he had been tricked or that he was not likely to overtake our ships.	10
14	161	I watched the tarn ship heave to, then port oars, and turn away.	10
14	167	There were trumpet signals now from the ship that had been pursuing us, and flags on her halyards.	10
14	171	As soon as I saw the tarn ship which had been pursuing us begin to move away, I gave my orders.	10
14	174	I had little doubt the Dorna was swifter than the ship that had pursued her.	10
14	182	"Stroke! Maximum beat!" The stern of the enemy ship was already under water as we slipped past her.	10
14	188	The noise of our strike and the cries of the men aboard the rammed ship carried over the water.	10
14	190	We heard trumpets blaring behind us frantically, trying to warn the ship ahead of us.	10
14	201	I was willing to spend one ship to draw two or three enemy ships from the battle, if battle there was to be.	10
14	204	I now turned the glass again to the ship fleeing me.	10
14	210	When I saw the tarn ship ahead, its captain doubtless confident of his speeds and distances, lift her oars, preparing to come about, I called to the oar-master, "Now!" Without the loss of a stroke he, at the center of the rowing frame, began to call maximum beat, "Stroke! Stroke! Stroke!" The Dorna,...	10
14	211	We took the fourth ship amidships, as we had the third.	10
14	213	Then, in an Ehn, we were in pursuit of the last ship.	10
14	220	"Do you know the ship?" I asked.	10
14	229	From time to time I observed the distant ship growing farther and farther away.	10
14	234	"She carries one hundred and thirty-two oars," he said, "but she is a heavier ship, and her lines are not as good as those of the Dorna".	10
14	248	Since the principal weapons of the ram-ship are the ram and shearing blades, she is most dangerous taken head on.	10
14	255	His oars took up maximum beat and his heavy ship, the crest of the ram dividing the water before the concave bow, the tarn's beak just below the water line, plunged toward us.	10
14	257	I had caught the other ship.	10
14	259	The other ship did not truly wish to fight.	10
14	266	"Maximum beat!" The ram of the other ship did not find us.	10
14	284	Using, on the whole, elementary triangle tactics, wherein an attack by two ships, from different quadrants, is made on a single ship, which can face but one of the attackers, my ships had, in a short time, less than an Ahn, destroyed seven of the ten ram-ships left behind at the treasure fleet.	10
14	305	The ram-ship, on the other hand, is difficult to sail to windward, even with lateen rigging, because of its length, its narrowness and its shallow draft.	10
14	307	Accordingly the ram-ship most commonly sails only with a fair wind.	10
14	310	The ram-ship is not built for significant sail dependence or maximum seaworthiness.	10
14	314	Penned in among the twenty-three round ships was a long galley, a purple ship, flying the purple flag of Cos.	10
14	315	It was a beautiful ship.	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.	10
14	332	The ship itself, by my men, had already been subdued.	10
14	337	I turned to Clitus, who had been on the ship before me.	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.	10
14	403	"The Lady Vivina," I said to him, "will of course grace the prow of this ship, the flagship of the treasure fleet".	10
14	453	"I am returning one round ship to Cos," I said.	10
14	456	The treasure from the ship, of course, will be placed aboard other ships, taken to Port Kar as prizes.	10
14	457	On the other hand, your ship will be adequately provisioned and I do not doubt you will make port in Telnus within five days".	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".	10
14	483	I had the admiral freed of his leg irons and he and I, from the stem castle of his own ship, regarded the approaching ships.	10
15	13	I stood at the prow of the long, purple ship, which had been the flagship of the treasure fleet.	10
15	52	I recalled, late the first night, under ship's torches, I had had Vivina brought down from the prow and brought before me.	10
15	58	She had had, of course, a luxurious cabin in the flagship of the treasure fleet, this very ship.	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.	10
15	108	Even now, in my feast of celebration, hours after the meeting of the council, I still wore about my neck the broad scarlet ribbon with its pendant medallion of gold, bearing the design of a lateen-rigged tarn ship, the initials in cursive Gorean script of Council of Captains of Port Kar in a half cu...	10
15	249	I fingered the broad scarlet ribbon and the medallion, pendant about my neck, bearing its tarn ship and initials, those of the Council of Captains of Port Kar.	10
15	346	I fingered the golden medallion with the lateen-rigged tarn ship, and the initials of the Council of Captains of Port Kar in its half-curve beneath it.	10
15	649	"Admiral!" I clutched the medallion about my neck, with its tarn ship and the initials of the Council of Captains of Port Kar.	10
15	817	"You, too," she said, "wear a collar!" I tore away from my throat the broad scarlet ribbon, with its pendant medallion, with the tarn ship and the initials of the Council of Captains of Port Kar.	10
16	153	I picked up the broad scarlet ribbon, with its medallion, that with the tarn ship and the initials of the Council of Captains of Port Kar.	10
16	170	"I am sorry, Captain," said he, "I was attending to my ship".	10
16	309	The ship nosed through the canals of Port Kar toward the hall of the Council of Captains.	10
17	37	Each pair would single out a given ship by signals and as it maneuvered to meet one the other could make its strike.	10
17	67	Commonly, of course, it is the round ship, with her normally small, free crews, which attempts to evade boarding.	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.	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
17	161	There, far off, I could see my tarn ship, the Venna.	10
17	163	With her was her sister ship, the Tela.	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.	10
17	204	Sparks and flames were carried from one ship to another.	10
17	216	The command ship of the reserves heaved to within hailing distance of the Dorna.	10
17	218	The other ships took their places in four lines behind the command ship of the reserves.	10
17	242	I leaped from the ladder to the deck of the Dorna and waved my hand to Antisthenes, some hundred yards away on the stern castle of the command ship of the reserves.	10
17	263	Soon I stood on the deck of the round ship.	10
17	277	I looked down into the open hold of the round ship.	10
17	318	Perhaps they would not leave the ship.	10
17	335	I gestured and the tarn hobble, fastening the right foot of the great bird to a huge bolt set in the ship's keel, was opened.	10
17	338	He stood on the deck of the round ship, opening and closing his wings, looking about himself, and then threw back his head and screamed.	10
17	341	I drew again on the one-strap and again the bird's wings snapped, and he was on the long, sloping yard on the round ship's foremast.	10
17	360	And besides these seamen, each tarnsman, tied to his saddle, carried a shielded, protected ship's lantern, lighted, and, in the pockets of leather aprons, tied together and thrown across the saddles, numerous clay flasks, corked with rags.	10
17	366	It was a great ship, painted in the yellow of Tyros, with more than two hundred oarsmen.	10
17	367	It was the ship of Chenbar.	10
17	370	Almost instantly the ship was the center of a great beating of wings and descending tarns.	10
17	400	My men were forcing the defenders of the ship over the side, into the cold waters.	10
17	409	Five of my men seized its rope, and, in an instant, they were lifted away from the ship.	10
17	410	"Fire the ship!" I called to my men.	10
17	412	More tarns returned and more of my men, sometimes six and seven to a rope, were carried away from the ship.	10
17	415	My men fought back boarders and then, with oars, thrust away the other ship.	10
17	416	Another ship struck our side, shearing oars.	10
17	420	The ship flew the flag of Bosk, with its green stripes on the white background.	10
17	424	Then, on the other side, was the Tela, the Venna's sister ship.	10
17	430	The last of the men of Tyros aboard the ship leaped free to the cold waters to swim to their own ships.	10
18	6	"I expect," said the oar-master, "that in the rag of a slave he will eventually find his place at the bench of an arsenal round ship".	10
18	22	My admiral's cloak, brought with my returning men from the round ship, was given to me and I wrapped it about my shoulders.	10
18	33	The wind struck the side of the hull and the ship heeled to leeward.	10
18	35	The two helmsmen strained with their side rudders, bringing the ship about.	10
18	36	Then the wind was at the stern and the oar-master began his count, easing the ship ahead until the storm sail was caught by the blasts.	10
18	117	How else, I asked myself, had he been able to take an oar on the longboat in the canals when I had gone to the hall of the Council of Captains, or been able to board the Dorna, or taken his place in the longboat that had ferried me to the round ship? I, too, was not unfond of the boy.	10
18	635	Men were fleeing from my holding but, even more important, approaching down the canal, oars flashing, mast down, came a tarn ship, and then another.	10
18	645	We saw the two ships, the Venna and her sister ship, the Tela, knife into the courtyard and swing about, their bowmen firing on the men running on the promenade and trying to escape about the edges of the courtyard.	10
18	952	"A ship must be built," said Samos.	10
18	953	"A ship different from any other".	10
18	964	"Who would build such a ship?" I asked.	10

4	129	The small disklike ship then slowly lifted and moved toward the large ship.	10
5	194	In perhaps less than a minute the creature, and the men, emerged from the ship; they, together with their fellows, then swiftly re-entered the silverish ship.	10
4	17	It opened in such a way as to touch the ground and formed a sort of ramp, by means of which the ship could be loaded.	10
4	23	Boxes of various sizes were being removed from it and being placed in the ship.	10
4	43	The men now began to bring, not gently, certain large square boxes from the truck, which they placed near the large, open hatch on the ship.	10
4	50	The men unloading the truck began to unsnap the sides of the large wooden boxes placed near the open hatch on the ship.	10
4	58	They were then carried, unconscious, into the ship.	10
4	130	A port in the large ship slid upward.	10
4	131	The small ship moved inside.	10
4	138	"But your ship," I said, "the small one, could not seem to find me".	10
4	156	"Observe," said the large man, indicating the black ship.	10
4	170	"Shall we go to the ship?" he asked.	10
4	173	"Hurry!" called the man in the black tunic, from within the large ship.	10
4	179	"We must make rendezvous!" "Please," invited the large man, gesturing to the ship with one hand.	10
4	180	Numbly I turned and preceded him to the ship.	10
4	194	The steel ramp swung upward and locked in place, shutting me in the ship.	10
4	199	I was thrust weeping and kicking through the ship, between tiers of piping and plating.	10
4	201	These racks were fixed to the curved metal ceiling at the top of the ship and the metal floor at the bottom.	10
5	37	It was the ship.	10
5	41	My sandals I had lost in the woods on Earth, while fleeing from the small dark ship which had so unerringly, herding me like a frantic animal, delivered me to my captors.	10
5	42	I felt like running from the ship, as far as I might.	10
5	49	I wanted to run from the ship.	10
5	59	But the ship seemed still.	10
5	61	There might be food on the ship.	10
5	62	Slowly, frightened, I approached the ship, step by step.	10
5	64	At last, about twenty yards from the ship, I circled it, fearfully.	10
5	67	I then approached the ship, half buried in the grass.	10
5	71	The inside of the ship was black and scorched.	10
5	75	Barefoot, on the steel plating, buckled under my feet, the bolts broken, I entered the ship, holding my breath.	10
5	77	The interior of the ship was compactly organized, with often only small spaces between tiers of tubing, piping and meters.	10
5	82	Whatever force drove the ship must have been beneath it, reached perhaps through the floor plating.	10
5	83	The engines of the ship, and its weapons, if weapons it had, must have been operated from the control room.	10
5	92	I had found no one in the ship.	10
5	95	But if there had been survivors, where had they gone? Might they return soon? I returned to the main portion of the ship, and looked again at the great rents in the steel.	10
5	98	One, rather on the bottom of the ship, was about five foot square.	10
5	100	The rent through which I had entered the ship was the largest.	10
5	102	There were, of course, numerous other points of damage on the ship, both interiorly and exteriorly, pitted, buckled plating and such.	10
5	103	Much of the buckled plating, I supposed, might have been done when the ship impacted.	10
5	105	It did not seem unlikely to me that the ship had been attacked.	10
5	106	Frightened, I ran through the ship, wanting to find food or weapons.	10
5	148	Then it seemed to me that I had remained too long at the ship.	10
5	159	It looked at me for a moment, and then, with a flurry of wings, darted out of the ship.	10
5	160	I, too, fled the ship.	10
5	163	The dark forest was behind the ship, in the distance.	10
5	183	The silverish disk had now landed near the rent, half-buried black ship.	10
5	184	The black ship itself glowed redly, but, in a few seconds, the glow faded.	10
5	185	Then hatches opened on the silverish ship and men leaped out.	10
5	187	They, like the men of the black ship, wore tunics but these were of some shimmering, purplish material.	10
5	189	Some of the men deployed themselves about the ship; others, carrying their weapons, entered.	10
5	190	Then, to my horror, a large, golden creature, six-legged, supporting itself on its four long back legs, almost upright, stepped from the ship.	10
5	192	It moved swiftly, delicately, almost daintily toward the ship and, bending down, disappeared inside.	10
5	195	The hatches slid shut and the ship, almost simultaneously, lifted itself, silently, some hundred feet from the grass.	10
5	196	Then it moved above the wreck of the black ship.	10
5	199	When I raised my head the silverish, disklike ship was gone.	10
5	200	And so, too, was the wreck of the black ship.	10
5	203	But I could find nothing of the ship, not a bolt or a bit of quartz, not a thread of metal or a scrap of wire.	10
6	16	The ship had crashed here, but this may not have been its world.	10
6	17	The other ship had come, to destroy the first, but this might not be its world either.	10
6	19	And the other ship had departed.	10
6	38	I remembered the men, my attempts to escape, my flight through the woods on Earth, the ship, the thick, transparent cylinder, or tube, of some sort of plastic, I supposed, in which I had been placed.	10
6	39	I remembered awakening again, in the grass, and then discovering the wreck of the black ship.	10
6	40	And I remembered the second ship, the silverish one, that it had destroyed the first, and I remembered fleeing.	10
6	76	The ship that had brought me here, I knew, even with my limited knowledge of such matters, was far beyond the present capabilities of any of the civilizations of Earth.	10
6	77	And yet the men who had captured me were surely human, or seemed so, as did those who manned the ship.	10
6	78	Even those who had come from the silverish ship, with the exception of the tall, delicate golden creature, had seemed to be human, or much like humans.	10
6	79	But the black ship had crashed.	10
6	80	And the silverish ship had departed, perhaps for another world.	10
6	210	The men I now noted, held as I was, did not carry pistols and rifles, or even small weapons, such as my captor had had, or the silverish tubes, or wands, which had been carried by the men from the silverish ship.	10
6	285	One, at least, of the men on the black ship had spoken English.	10
10	259	I recalled the collar had been later removed at the location referred to as point P, before the black ship had fled the earth, through the gray skies of that August dawn.	10
10	274	I remembered awakening, lying in a Gorean field, some hundred yards or so from the black wreckage of the slavers' ship.	10
10	275	I remembered, too, that on Earth, at the location called point P, before I had boarded the ship, a heavy steel anklet, doubtless an identification device of some sort, had been locked on my left ankle.	10

36	103	It seems he had earlier anticipated that Lord Temmu would wish to have the great ship destroyed, to preclude its possible employment in an armsmen's flight, and that some, sensing this, might attempt to save the ship, by removing it from danger.	10
36	104	Accordingly, given this possibility, he planted one of his minions amongst the great ship's most likely mariners, those most likely to be recruited in any attempt to save the ship".	10

49	118	With this in mind, and the conviction that a private access, which might be utilized under certain conditions, as well as a public access, generally available, to the housing of the ship would be likely, Grendel addressed himself, over several Ahn, to the walls and flooring of the ship's housing.	10

61	3	The ship of Tersites had demonstrated the possibility of reaching the World's End, and, then, the River Dragon, in turn, inspirited by the success of the ship of Tersites, had dared Thassa, as well, but then eastward, and had managed to make the great harbor at Brundisium.	10
