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
2	3	She was standing on a small skiff of rence, not larger than my own rush craft, about seven feet long and two feet wide, fastened together, as mine was, with marsh vine; it, like mine, had a slightly curved stern and prow.	10
2	13	There were four of the birds tied in the stern of the craft.	10

8	153	Then I placed her lengthwise in the craft, her head at the up-curved stern end of the vessel.	10
8	154	With a last length of marsh vine, doubled and looped about her throat, its free ends tied about the up-curved stern, I secured her in place.	10

8	285	Again the slaves, chained at their benches, facing the stern of each barge, did not so much as move as I passed among them.	10
8	345	As I, in the chair of the oar-master, faced the bow of the vessel, he, as slave at the benches, faced its stern, and the chair of the oar-master, that which now served me as Ubar's throne, in this small wooden country lost in the marshes of the Vosk's delta.	10
13	200	High-born ladies commonly sailed in cabins, located in the stern castle of the galleys.	10

14	21	Her stern describes what is almost a complete semicircle.	10
14	25	Besides her stem and stern castles the Dorna carried two movable turrets amidships, each about twenty feet high.	10
14	35	These benches are not perpendicular to the bulwarks but slant obliquely back toward the stern castle.	10
14	93	From the stern castle of the Dorna, then, with a long glass, that of the builders, I observed, far across the waters, the masts of the ram-ships, one by one, lowering.	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	169	Some of the ships to the sides, perhaps having seen the flags with glasses from their stem or stern castles, also ceased the pursuit.	10

14	179	The iron-shod ram of the Dorna splintered into her stern a foot below the water line.	10
14	182	"Stroke! Maximum beat!" The stern of the enemy ship was already under water as we slipped past her.	10
14	191	It, too, began to come about, and we caught her amidships, the ram thrusting through the heavy planking like kindling, then stopped by the shield, like a spread tarn's crest, and we chopped our way back and free, and then knifed past her stern toward the next two ships.	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	216	"Maximum beat," said the oar-master to his keleustes, and then came to stand beside me on the stern castle.	10
14	225	He then went down the steps of the stern castle, to the helm deck, and then down to the chair of the oar-master.	10
14	232	The oar-master again joined me on the stern castle.	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
15	57	High-born ladies commonly sail in cabins, located in the stern castles of either ram-ships or round ships.	10

17	110	We had both the stem and stern anchors down.	10
17	137	But I knew that, crowded in the stem and stern castles, in the turrets, below decks, in the rowing and cargo holds, there were hundreds of men.	10
17	164	I saw two of the tarn ships of Cos and Tyros, one heeled over in the water, the other slipping stern first beneath the waves.	10
17	217	With the glass I saw, on her stern castle, Antisthenes, that captain of the council whose name had been always first on her rolls.	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	244	I climbed to my own stern castle.	10
17	371	My own tarn landed on the stern castle itself, and I leaped from its back.	10

17	432	Chenbar and I remained alone on the deck of the stern castle of the flagship.	10
18	32	Meanwhile, the starboard oars, under the call of the oar-master, began swinging the vessel about, to bring her stern into the wind.	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
