Treve's other needs seemed to be satisfied much in the same way as her agricultural ones, for her raiders were known from the borders of the Fair of En'Kara, in the very shadow of the Sardar, to the delta of the Vosk and the islands beyond, such as Tyros and Cos. |

There were men in that crowd from Ar, from Thentis, from Tharna, recognized by the two yellow cords in their belt; from Port Kar; from Tor, Cos, Tyros; perhaps from Treve, Vika's home city; perhaps even from fallen, vanished Ko-ro-ba; and the men in that crowd were of all castes, and even of castes ... |

The important point, however, in the circumstances was that Kamras had proposed the sword as the weapon of his encounter with Kamchak, and poor Kamchak was almost certain to be as unfamiliar with the sword as you or I would be with any of the more unusual weapons of Gor, say, the whip knife of Port ... |

On the seat of the wagon, which was drawn by a horned tharlarion, sat the driver and the Scribe whom I had known as Caprus, whose real name, as I had been informed, was Philemon of Tyros, an island some hundreds of pasangs west of Port Kar. |
10 |
| 19 | 16 |
He had been a member of the staff of Caprus, the agent of Priest-Kings, until the latter had disappeared, presumably because he had displeased Cernus; Philemon of Tyros had then assumed Caprus' position and duties. |

"What of your spies," I asked, "who seem so well informed?

The fleets of tarn ships of Port Kar are the scourge of Thassa, beautiful, lateen-rigged galleys that ply the trade of plunder and enslavement from the Ta-Thassa Mountains of the southern hemisphere of Gor to the ice lakes of the North; and westward even beyond the terraced island of Cos and the roc... |

Raids of one upon the other, involving a few dozen ships, were not infrequent, whether on the shipping of Port Kar, or beaching on Cos or Tyros, but major actions, those which might involve the hundreds of galleys possessed by these redoubtable maritime powers, the two island Ubarates and Port Kar, ... |

A seaman, reportedly escaped from Cos, was telling of the preparation of a great fleet intending to sail against Port Kar, a fleet that would be enlarged by the forces of Tyros as well. |
10 |
| 10 | 125 |
Cos and Tyros, when not at one another's throats, are always threatening to join their forces for an onslaught on Port Kar. |
10 |
| 10 | 127 |
But not in over a hundred years had the united fleets of Cos and Tyros challenged Port Kar, and at that time, because of storms, they had been scattered and beaten off. |
10 |
| 10 | 128 |
As I have mentioned, the warfare between Cos and Tyros and Port Kar had been, for years, small-scale, seldom involving more than a few dozen galleys on a side. |

Doubtless, in Cos and Tyros as well there were rumors of fleets being prepared to be sent against them. |

As mentioned above, the naval strengths of Cos and Tyros are, individually, comparable. |

The rumor of the seaman, that Cos and Tyros were preparing fleets against Port Kar, again entered my mind, but again I dismissed it. |
10 |
| 10 | 183 |
Why, I asked myself, should Cos and Tyros consider bringing their fleets against Port Kar? What had changed? But then I recalled that nothing had changed. |
10 |
| 10 | 185 |
Doubtless there were similar rumors, raising their small stirs, in the councils of Cos and Tyros. |

Twice we had been scouted by pirates from Tyros, in their green ships, painted to resemble the sea, but neither of them had chosen to engage us. |

Better, they would think, to lie in wait on the open sea for the slave galleys of Tyros or the treasure ships of Cos. |

"When do we sail against the ships of Cos and Tyros?" asked Tab of me. |

Tyros is a rugged island, with mountains. |
10 |
| 10 | 252 |
Cos is also a lofty island, even loftier than Tyros, but she has level fields to her west. |
10 |

Saphrar, I recalled, had once been a perfumer from Tyros but, being exiled as a thief, had made his way to Port Kar, and thence had gone to Turia. |
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 |
| 10 | 304 |
But why should Cos and Tyros come against Port Kar at this time? But it was a rumor, I reminded myself again, forcibly, a rumor, a baseless rumor. |
10 |
| 11 | 60 |
"There are no ships from Cos or Tyros in the harbor," said one of the captains standing near me. |
10 |
| 11 | 235 |
"What of Cos and Tyros?" I asked. |
10 |
| 11 | 237 |
"None have spoken of Cos and Tyros," he said. |
10 |

I had expected, that very day, or this night, to receive word that the fleets of Cos and Tyros were approaching. |

"Sevarius!" "Are not Cos and Tyros to attack?" I demanded. |
10 |

"Have Cos and Tyros been implicated?" he asked. |
10 |

"I suspect Cos and Tyros," he said, gazing at me, evenly. |
10 |
| 11 | 422 |
"I suspect," Samos was saying, "that Cos and Tyros are implicated in the attempted coup of the House of Sevarius". |
10 |
| 11 | 426 |
Surely it did not seem likely that Sevarius would have moved if he had not been assured, at some point, of the support of the power of Cos and Tyros. |
10 |
| 11 | 427 |
"Myself," Samos went on, "I am weary of war with Cos and Tyros". |
10 |
| 11 | 431 |
One captain, leaning back in his curule chair, said, "There has always been war between Port Kar, and Cos and Tyros". |
10 |
| 11 | 448 |
"It is my proposal," said Samos, "that the council approach Cos and Tyros, offering terms of peace". |
10 |
| 11 | 457 |
And what better gesture than this mission of peace to the hereditary enemies Cos and Tyros? If the burden of maintaining the conflict were clearly on them, it was possible that allies of theirs might be influenced to diminish or, perhaps, withdraw their support, or, perhaps, pledge it even to Port K... |
10 |
| 11 | 459 |
Surely these might then be dissuaded from becoming allies of Cos and Tyros, and perhaps might be inclined to offer their services to Port Kar? At the very least, the ships of Port Kar might, in such a situation, become suddenly welcome in ports that had hitherto been closed to them. |
10 |
| 11 | 471 |
"And," I asked, "do we abide by their acceptance? Would there then be truly peace between Port Kar, and Cos and Tyros?" "That," smiled Samos, "may always be taken under consideration at a future meeting of the council". |
10 |
| 11 | 473 |
"The time is opportune," said Samos, "to offer peace to Cos and Tyros. |
10 |
| 11 | 475 |
For another, I have learned from spies that this very week the Ubar of Tyros visits Cos". |
10 |
| 11 | 477 |
It did not bode well for Port Kar that the Ubar of Tyros should voyage to Cos. |
10 |
| 11 | 486 |
I wondered what the interests of Samos in Cos and Tyros might be. |
10 |
| 11 | 489 |
"The fleets of Cos and Tyros," he said, "have not yet gathered". |
10 |
| 11 | 499 |
"Since my interests are substantially in commerce I, for one, would welcome peace with Cos and Tyros. |
10 |
| 11 | 502 |
Such a peace would, I note, open the ports of Tyros and Cos, and their allies and others, to my ships, and, of course, to yours. |
10 |
| 11 | 505 |
"If an offer of peace is to be made to Cos and Tyros," I said, "it is my hope that it would be genuine". |
10 |
| 11 | 528 |
"We will need one to carry the offer of peace to Cos, where he may now find joint audience with the Ubars of both Cos and Tyros," said Samos. |
10 |
| 11 | 540 |
"And," Samos went on, "it should preferably be one who is not well known to Cos and Tyros, one who has not angered them, nor proven himself to them a blood enemy upon gleaming Thassa". |
10 |
| 11 | 547 |
Let it be he who carries peace on behalf of the council to Cos and Tyros. |
10 |
| 11 | 553 |
"To send a captain is equivalent to sentencing him to the bench of a slave on the round ships of Cos or Tyros". |
10 |
| 11 | 560 |
"I am, of course, highly honored," I began, "that noble Samos should think of me, that he should nominate me, doubtless the lowliest of the captains here assembled, for a post of such distinction, that of bearing the peace of Port Kar to her hereditary enemies Cos and Tyros". |
10 |
| 11 | 563 |
"It only seems to me," said I, "that so single an honor, and a role so weighty, ought to be reserved for one more august than I, indeed, for he who is most prominent among us, one who could truly negotiate on equal footing with the Ubars of powers so mighty as those of Cos and Tyros". |
10 |
| 11 | 573 |
"Antisthenes is wise," I said, "and understands the risks involved, but many of the words Samos has addressed to us seem to me sound and true, and chief among them his assertion that it should be a captain who conducts this mission, for how else could we so easily prove the seriousness of our intent... |
10 |
| 11 | 592 |
If Cos and Tyros could be convinced to make peace, and it could be held, my fortunes would considerably increase. |
10 |
| 11 | 596 |
I would not go as a fool to Cos and Tyros. |
10 |
| 12 | 2 |
I was waiting for my ships, and those of the arsenal, to be made ready for my trip, my mission of peace, to Cos and Tyros. |
10 |
| 13 | 9 |
I would go before the thrones of the Ubars of Cos and Tyros alone. |
10 |
| 13 | 12 |
I put to them, the Ubars of Cos and Tyros, as well as I could, the proposals of the Council of Captains of Port Kar, that there would be concord, and doubtless an opening of commerce, between the two Ubarates and the maligned city in the Vosk's delta, my own Port Kar. |
10 |
| 13 | 13 |
As I spoke, the Ubar of Cos, Lurius of Jad, and the Ubar of Tyros, Chenbar of Kasra, the Sea Sleen, who was visiting Lurius on matters of state, sat unspeaking upon their thrones. |
10 |
| 13 | 16 |
Kasra is the capitol of Tyros; its only other major city is Tentium. |
10 |
| 13 | 24 |
Chenbar of Kasra, Ubar of Tyros, on the other hand, was a lean, large-eyed man, with nervous hands. |
10 |
| 13 | 26 |
Tyros, I told myself, has an efficient, and dangerous Ubar. |
10 |
| 13 | 108 |
"Forgive me," I said, "but the Ubara of Tyros, so beautiful are our women, is worthy only to be the least of the Kettle Slaves in the meanest of the dwellings of Port Kar". |
10 |
| 13 | 154 |
"As the agent of Cos and Tyros," I said. |
10 |
| 13 | 186 |
It will not be a great deal, but that way you can feel that you have not been left out, that you have done your small bit to augment the glories of Cos and Tyros". |
10 |
| 13 | 188 |
"I trust, too," said Chenbar, "that you will not be the last of the captains of Port Kar to pull an oar on the round ships of Cos or Tyros". |
10 |
| 13 | 204 |
"When," I asked, "High Lady, will you drink the wine of the Free Companionship with Lurius, noble Ubar of Cos?" "I shall return first to Tyros," she said, "where I shall be made ready. |
10 |
| 13 | 464 |
Doubtless you can give her the attention she will need either in Cos or Tyros". |
10 |
| 13 | 483 |
"I carried peace to Cos and Tyros," I said, "and for this I was awarded the chains of a slave in the galleys". |
10 |
| 13 | 484 |
"When," asked Tab, "do we sail against the ships of Cos and Tyros?" I laughed. |
10 |
| 13 | 485 |
"Surely now," laughed he, "Cos and Tyros have injured you". |
10 |
| 13 | 486 |
"Yes," said I, "they have, and now we may sail against them!" There were cheers from the men about, who felt that too long had the ships of Bosk surrendered the seas to those of Cos and Tyros. |
10 |
| 13 | 489 |
"Then let Cos and Tyros beware!" roared Thurnock. |
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 | 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... |
10 |
| 13 | 517 |
But in all this time I had not forgotten the treasure fleet which was due to sail from Tyros to Cos, bearing precious metals and jewels for her coffers, and a lovely lady, Vivina, to grace the couch of her Ubar. |
10 |
| 13 | 518 |
I put spies in Tyros and Cos, and in many of the other ports of Thassa. |
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 | 78 |
It was this latter alternative, rather expensive, which the men of Cos and Tyros had apparently, almost invariably, selected. |
10 |
| 14 | 80 |
The prices of goods, I might note, carried on ships of Cos and Tyros and her allies, because of the need of paying for additional escort, had risen considerably. |
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. |
10 |
| 14 | 154 |
Doubtless in Cos and Tyros there was a high price indeed on my head. |
10 |
| 14 | 262 |
"Oar-master," said I, "we have an appointment with the treasure fleet of Cos and Tyros". |
10 |
| 14 | 272 |
"Helmsmen," said I, "take your course now for the treasure fleet of Cos and Tyros". |
10 |
| 14 | 334 |
"I am Rencius Ho-Bar," said he, "of Telnus, Admiral of the Treasure Fleet of Cos and Tyros". |
10 |
| 14 | 339 |
He presented a folio-sized book, bound with golden cord and sealed with wax, bearing the impress of the Ubar of Tyros, Chenbar. |
10 |
| 14 | 377 |
"I am Vivina," said she, "of the city of Kasra of Tyros". |
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... |
10 |
| 15 | 124 |
Lastly, the forces of Henrius Sevarius, under the regency of Claudius, once of Tyros, had been driven by the Council forces from all their holdings, save one, a huge fortress, its walls extending into the Tamber itself, sheltering the some two dozen ships left him. |
10 |
| 15 | 442 |
He lifted, heavily, to the dais on which my chair and table sat a heavy leather sack filled with golden tarn disks of double weight, of Cos and Tyros, of Ar and Port Kar, even of distant Thentis and remote Turia, far to the south. |
10 |
| 15 | 445 |
"Send for the slave girl from Tyros!" I called. |
10 |
| 15 | 513 |
There were few in Port Kar who would not be eager to patronize such an establishment, that they might be served by the high-born beauties of Tyros. |
10 |
| 15 | 589 |
Raised as she had been, in the sequestered quarters of high-born women in the palace of Tyros in Kasra, I supposed it was perhaps the first time that the lips of a man had touched hers. |
10 |
| 15 | 609 |
How rich a joke it was, to have enslaved the girl who would have been Ubara of Cos, to have put her to work in my kitchens, to have given the use of her to a mere slave boy! This story would soon be told in all the ports of Thassa and all the cities of Gor! How shamed would be Tyros and Cos, enemies... |
10 |
| 15 | 610 |
I stood and threw about me showers of the tarn disks of Ar, of Tyros, of Cos, Thentis, Turia and Port Kar!. |
10 |
| 16 | 140 |
"The joint fleets of Cos and Tyros are but hours from us!" "Outfit my ships," I said. |
10 |
| 16 | 179 |
What could one say to them? If the joint fleets of Cos and Tyros were indeed almost upon us, there was little to do but flee, or fight. |
10 |
| 16 | 182 |
"What would be your estimate of the size of the fleet of Cos and Tyros," I asked Tab. |
10 |
| 16 | 188 |
The fleet would consist, according to my information, of forty-two hundred ships, twenty-five hundred from Cos and seventeen hundred from Tyros. |
10 |
| 16 | 195 |
The council and I had apparently miscalculated the damage done by the capture of the treasure fleet to the war plans of Cos and Tyros. |
10 |
| 16 | 202 |
In this bold stroke I saw not the hand of Lurius, Ubar of Cos, but of the brilliant Chenbar of Kasra, Ubar of Tyros, the Sea Sleen. |
10 |
| 16 | 221 |
The officer had proposed, as clearly as one might, that the city be abandoned to the flames, and to the ravaging seamen of Cos and Tyros. |
10 |
| 16 | 284 |
I had no hopes that Port Kar could muster enough ships to fend off the joint fleet of Cos and Tyros. |
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... |
10 |
| 17 | 16 |
None of the ships of the Ubars Eteocles or Sullius Maximus had been pledged to the fleet, nor, of course, none of those of Henrius Sevarius, under the command of his regent, Claudius, once of Tyros. |
10 |
| 17 | 17 |
Had it not been for the finding of the Home Stone of Port Kar, if one may so speak, I doubt that we could have brought more than four or five hundred ships against Cos and Tyros. |
10 |
| 17 | 41 |
Each of my fifty sets of attacking tarn ships would be followed, by some half of an Ahn, by another pair of my tarn ships, which, hopefully, would be able to take a number of these come-about ships of Cos and Tyros from the rear. |
10 |
| 17 | 45 |
By that time the ships of Cos and Tyros would have concentrated in their numbers and shortened their lines. |
10 |
| 17 | 57 |
It was my hope that by the time they arrived at the engagement the fleet of Cos and Tyros, responding to my first two waves, would have shortened their lines and concentrated their ships. |
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. |
10 |
| 17 | 61 |
Only slaves whose origin was of Cos or Tyros, or their allies, had been taken from the ships and left behind, chained in the warehouses of Port Kar. |
10 |
| 17 | 72 |
And if the tarn ships of Cos and Tyros should use their rams, we hoped that, in the moments it would take to disengage the ram, the grappling irons and the grappling bridges might be brought into play. |
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... |
10 |
| 17 | 82 |
The admiral of Cos and Tyros, Chenbar I supposed, could not know the exact numbers and disposition of our forces. |
10 |
| 17 | 85 |
The flanking attack, of course, was mounted as late as it was because, until the fleet of Cos and Tyros had shortened their lines and concentrated their ships, to meet our earlier moves, it would have been impractical. |

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. |
10 |
| 17 | 222 |
I saw now that the tarn ships of Cos and Tyros were, where possible, not engaging the round ships, but concentrating their superior numbers on my tarn ships. |
10 |
| 17 | 365 |
In the turmoil below, primarily of tarn ships locked in battle, and the great round ships trying to close with enemy tarn ships, I saw, protected by ten tarn ships on each side, and ten before and ten behind, the flagship of Cos and Tyros. |

10 |

The defenders were swimming across to the other tarn ships of Tyros, now swinging about to close with us and board. |
10 |
| 17 | 406 |
"Hold the men of Tyros left aboard at the parapets!" I cried. |
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 |
| 17 | 437 |
"Fight!" I drew on the one-strap and the tarn, against the wind, took flight and Chenbar of Kasra, Ubar of Tyros, the Sea Sleen, in the manacles of a common slave, swung free below us, helpless and pendant in the furies of the wind and the sleeting rain, the captive of Bosk, a captain of Port Kar, a... |

It was not difficult to imagine that it was not simply to capture Bosk of Port Kar, or to do injury to those of Port Kar, that the Rhoda of Tyros had come to Lydius, and upriver to Laura. |

Tyros and Ar, of long standing, are enemies. |
10 |

"How many men do those of Tyros have?" I asked. |
10 |
| 13 | 191 |
The women, the four slaves, and he who wore the swath of panther girls, were taken, with the majority of the men of Tyros, into the forest". |
10 |

There were some fifty men of Tyros, as a prize crew, with the Tesephone. |
10 |
| 13 | 290 |
"When did the men of Tyros leave for the camp of Marlenus?" I asked. |
10 |
| 13 | 298 |
It puzzled me, somewhat, that the men of Tyros had dared to approach the camp, with only some one hundred and fifty men. |
10 |
| 13 | 305 |
Even granting the men of Tyros the element of surprise and a superiority in number of some fifty or sixty men, their enterprise was not without considerable hazard. |
10 |
| 13 | 310 |
The men of Tyros had planned carefully. |
10 |
| 13 | 331 |
"By the men of Tyros," I said, "and who?" I pulled her hair back, exposing her throat more. |
10 |
| 13 | 351 |
"It would not be well for you to fall into the hands of those of Tyros, or the hands of Hura's panther girls". |
10 |

10 |
| 14 | 35 |
Twenty-five of the fallen wore the yellow of Tyros. |
10 |
| 14 | 44 |
I thus conjectured with Rim, and Marlenus, that Sarus of Tyros, leader of the enemy, held some ninety-six men. |
10 |
| 14 | 46 |
I supposed that the men of Tyros, those who had been engaged in the attack, now numbered somewhere in the neighborhood of one hundred and twenty-five. |
10 |
| 14 | 50 |
The men of Tyros, I was sure, would be eager to march their captives through the forests north of Laura and Lydius to the exchange point, where they would meet, by prearranged rendezvous, the Rhoda and the Tesephone. |
10 |
| 14 | 51 |
It would take time for the men of Tyros to march their captives, in slave chains, through the forest. |
10 |
| 14 | 52 |
When they reached the exchange point it was doubtless their intention to embark their captives and carry them slaves to Tyros. |
10 |
| 14 | 54 |
It would be a great triumph in Tyros, to bring the great Marlenus, naked, in the chains of a slave, branded, before their council. |
10 |
| 14 | 55 |
Doubtless they would first bring him so through the streets, between jeering throngs, chained to the back of a tharlarion wagon, white-silk maidens of Tyros dancing beside him, casting love blossoms upon him. |
10 |
| 14 | 56 |
Marlenus would doubtless make great holiday in Tyros. |
10 |
| 14 | 58 |
I expected that the men of Tyros would be eager to hurry their captives to the sea. |
10 |
| 14 | 87 |
I returned to the camp of Marlenus, and easily picked up the trail of the men of Tyros and the panther girls of Hura's band, and the trail, too, of the wretches, chained, they drove between them. |
10 |
| 14 | 92 |
It was also the night camp of the men of Tyros. |
10 |
| 14 | 95 |
A man of Tyros had a hide drum and, at one side of the clearing, was pounding out a monotonous, repetitive preparatory rhythm. |
10 |
| 14 | 97 |
I could see, too, the yellow of the men of Tyros. |
10 |
| 14 | 103 |
At one side of the clearing I saw Sarus, captain of the Rhoda, leader of the men of Tyros. |
10 |
| 14 | 110 |
I saw two men of Tyros bringing forth a brazier, filled with glowing coals. |
10 |
| 14 | 124 |
Individuals, panther girls and men of Tyros, now, idly, some still eating food from the supper fires, entered the conquest circle. |
10 |
| 14 | 127 |
Then one of the men of Tyros lifted the iron, glowing redly, from the fire. |
10 |
| 14 | 197 |
I recalled how they had, on the beach, laughed and jested with the men of Tyros. |
10 |
| 14 | 198 |
Now they, who had served the men of Tyros, were bound as the helpless slaves of one of Port Kar, one to whom, in the betrayal of his camp, they had done great injury. |
10 |
| 14 | 200 |
They had served the men of Tyros. |
10 |
| 14 | 213 |
* * * * On the branch of the tree, high, in the darkness, crouching, I saw the man of Tyros, with his leather glove, reach to the handle of the slave iron, protruding from the brazier. |
10 |
| 14 | 215 |
By this time the men of Tyros, and the panther girls, had all gathered about in the conquest circle. |
10 |
| 14 | 219 |
Sarus, leader of the men of Tyros, waved his men back now, except for the man with the iron. |
10 |
| 14 | 223 |
At a sign from Hura the man from Tyros thrust the iron back into the brazier, to draw it forth again at her signal. |
10 |
| 14 | 232 |
The men of Tyros glanced to one another. |
10 |
| 14 | 297 |
Several had already, oblivious of the presence of the men of Tyros, torn away their skins to the waist, others completely. |
10 |
| 14 | 311 |
The man of Tyros, with the heavy glove, reached to the iron. |
10 |
| 14 | 322 |
He would be branded, and taken to the coast as slave, for transportation to Tyros, island of his enemies. |
10 |
| 14 | 325 |
Then, with music and ceremony, he would be presented before the High Council of Tyros. |
10 |
| 14 | 327 |
Sarus, leader of the men of Tyros in the forest, his captor, would then give him to the council. |
10 |
| 14 | 328 |
He would then be pronounced, by the council, slave of Tyros. |
10 |
| 14 | 335 |
The man of Tyros, grinning, brought the iron forward. |
10 |
| 14 | 341 |
The man of Tyros was bent over, and then, slowly, very slowly, he straightened. |
10 |
| 14 | 345 |
There was consternation below, screams, men of Tyros leaping to their feet, dirt being cast on fires. |
10 |
| 15 | 97 |
The men of Tyros, I knew, familiar with islands and the sweeps of gleaming Thassa, were inexperienced in the forest. |
10 |
| 15 | 99 |
If I could make it so that the panther girls feared to leave the camp, and, in the marches, would insist on remaining near the long slave chain, putatively protected by their numbers, the men of Tyros would be, for many practical purposes, deprived of the services of their otherwise dangerously effe... |
10 |
| 15 | 102 |
If the men of Tyros knew, as they would, that I might come and go as I pleased, this would have an unsettling effect upon them. |
10 |
| 15 | 103 |
Too, it should produce dissension between the men of Tyros and their allies, the lovely panther girls of the northern forests. |
10 |
| 15 | 132 |
I had heard angry shouts from the men of Tyros, telling them to hunt the forests. |
10 |
| 15 | 201 |
* * * * In their camp the men of Tyros doubtless felt secure. |
10 |
| 15 | 242 |
* * * * The next morning, early, the camp of the men of Tyros had been broken. |
10 |
| 15 | 247 |
The men of Tyros, in their flight, had abandoned much baggage, their own, and baggage taken from the camp of Marlenus. |
10 |
| 15 | 349 |
Among the baggage, too, I found items which had been brought from Verna's camp, which had been taken originally by Marlenus to his camp, and captured there by the men of Tyros and the band of Hura. |
10 |
| 15 | 408 |
The slave chain of the men of Tyros passed below me. |
10 |
| 15 | 421 |
Men of Tyros, and panther girls, flanked the lines of slaves. |
10 |
| 15 | 423 |
Apparently the men of Tyros, and the panther girls, feared to free their hands. |
10 |
| 15 | 425 |
Some burdens were carried even by the men of Tyros. |
10 |
| 15 | 427 |
Eight men of Tyros, with whips, struck the male slaves. |
10 |
| 15 | 450 |
I suspected that, in the eyes of the men of Tyros, and those of the girls of Hura, her position in the slave coffle was regarded as, and intended as, a delicious cruelty. |
10 |
| 15 | 453 |
I had seen, near the front of the march, Sarus, leader of the men of Tyros, and, near him, Hura, and her lieutenant, Mira, who had first betrayed Verna, and then Marlenus. |
10 |
| 15 | 457 |
The men of Tyros and the girls of Hura had had scouts out, flanking their line of march, panther girls. |
10 |
| 15 | 475 |
Sixteen men of Tyros, in single file, brought up the rear of the march. |
10 |
| 15 | 484 |
Too, I cut each of them a piece of the dried, salted meat taken from the abandoned camp of the men of Tyros and the girls of Hura. |
10 |
| 16 | 1 |
I Find Some Tunics of Tyros Mira, who was the lieutenant of Hura, rolled to her side. |
10 |
| 16 | 3 |
The march of the men of Tyros had become a rout. |
10 |
| 16 | 10 |
Eight men of Tyros I felled near the front of the column. |
10 |
| 16 | 13 |
And the men of Tyros were unwilling to do so. |
10 |
| 16 | 18 |
The arrows which had struck the men of Tyros had been those of panther girls, taken from my captures. |
10 |
| 16 | 19 |
The men of Tyros and the girls of Hura did not know the nature nor the number of their stalkers. |
10 |
| 16 | 36 |
Angry the men of Tyros demanded that they stop, but they did not do so. |
10 |
| 16 | 65 |
The men of Tyros and the girls of Hura had feared the light. |
10 |
| 16 | 72 |
In desperation, to my pleasure, some fifteen men of Tyros entered the forest. |
10 |
| 16 | 76 |
In all, throughout the day, the great bow had spoken forty-one times, and forty-one men of Tyros now lay scattered along the trail and in the forest, feed for prowling sleen. |
10 |
| 16 | 228 |
In my camp, there were several bottles of wine, which had been taken originally from Verna's camp by Marlenus, and then from his camp by the men of Tyros and the girls of Hura. |
10 |
| 16 | 232 |
I did not expect it would be drunk by all of the panther girls, but, if I could deprive the men of Tyros of more of their dangerous, beautiful allies, it would be to my advantage. |
10 |
| 16 | 267 |
* * * * "Can you hear me?" cried the man of Tyros. |
10 |
| 16 | 269 |
"If any man of Tyros falls," he cried, "ten slaves will die!" Scarcely had his words been uttered when he, himself, fell, an arrow from the great bow lost in the yellow of his tunic. |
10 |
| 16 | 276 |
Sarus, leader of the men of Tyros, ordered several to do so but none would strike, not wishing themselves to fall. |
10 |
| 16 | 301 |
My own slave coffle, unknown to the men of Tyros and the girls of Hura, was camped not more than two pasangs away. |
10 |
| 16 | 304 |
I decided I would need sleep, and so left the vicinity of the camp of the men of Tyros and the girls of Hura. |
10 |
| 16 | 323 |
Also among the discarded baggage I had found some tunics of Tyros. |
10 |
| 17 | 18 |
This morning the men of Tyros had doubtless awakened pleased and confident, eager to be again on their way to the sea. |
10 |
| 17 | 22 |
The men of Tyros, as I had expected, had not elected to remain at the camp, to protect and defend the girls until they had regained consciousness. |
10 |
| 17 | 126 |
Sarus, leader of the men of Tyros, by my count, when the march had begun had had one hundred and twenty-five men. |
10 |
| 17 | 135 |
It was time I visited, once more, the caravan of Sarus of Tyros. |
10 |
| 17 | 155 |
I then left the chain, and took up again the trail of the men of Tyros, and that of the girls of Hura, who were now of the number of twenty-one. |
10 |
| 18 | 5 |
The tunic of Tyros, once a bright yellow, was now stained and tattered. |
10 |
| 18 | 18 |
"The sea!" He was a brave man, Sarus of Tyros, captain of the Rhoda. |

There were no sails, no distant particles of yellow canvas, bespeaking the ships of Tyros, that cluttered that incredible vast margin, the meeting place of the great elements of the sky and the sea. |
10 |
| 18 | 35 |
His men, fifty-five men of Tyros, some falling, made their way down the beach, across the stones, to the edge of the water. |
10 |
| 18 | 81 |
Behind Tina was Grenna, also in the branch-lashed, white-woolen tatters of a slave garment, for she had been enslaved in my camp before her capture by the men of Tyros. |
10 |
| 18 | 110 |
It had been removed, that they might move more rapidly through the forest, eluding those who pursued the men of Tyros and the girls of Hura. |
10 |
| 18 | 115 |
In the last two days, following the night of the drugging of many of Hura's girls, I had not struck further at the men of Tyros with the swift arrows of the great bow. |
10 |
| 18 | 159 |
He stood facing in the direction in which would lie Tyros. |
10 |
| 18 | 162 |
They, too, in their bonds, faced toward Tyros. |
10 |
| 18 | 163 |
The men in the tunics of Tyros threw their yellow caps into the air and cheered, and splashed water on one another, laughing. |
10 |
| 18 | 167 |
* * * * During the afternoon I observed the slave girls, tied in pairs, by the neck, each pair under the guard of a man of Tyros and a panther girl, gathering driftwood and, from the forest's edge, broken branches. |
10 |
| 18 | 172 |
Two men of Tyros watched that pair. |
10 |
| 18 | 178 |
Meanwhile, in good order, with confidence, several men of Tyros entered the forest and cut large numbers of stout saplings. |
10 |
| 18 | 195 |
I was not much observed, standing in the background, wearing the yellow of Tyros. |
10 |
| 18 | 197 |
The men of Tyros were hundreds of pasangs from civilization, but the flames of that blaze brought pleasure to them. |
10 |
| 18 | 199 |
The men of Tyros began to sing, standing near it. |
10 |
| 18 | 214 |
Then, on the other side of them, closer to the sea, lay the gagged, helplessly thonged slave girls; then came the blankets and supplies of Hura's twenty-one women; then came the equipment of the fifty-five men of Tyros, almost at the margin of the animal fires. |
10 |
| 18 | 215 |
Again and again the men of Tyros and their fair allies, the women of Hura, cheered. |
10 |
| 18 | 224 |
The tunic of Tyros, in a tight roll, was tied across my back. |
10 |
| 18 | 240 |
A man of Tyros, with a whip, followed each pair. |
10 |
| 18 | 256 |
The men of Tyros, following the weeping girls with their whips, did not care to enter the forest. |
10 |
| 18 | 290 |
They knelt before the figure in the yellow of Tyros who stood with the whip, waiting for them, on the beach. |
10 |
| 18 | 308 |
I wiped sand from my right hand on the woolen tunic of Tyros. |
10 |
| 18 | 310 |
"There are more than fifty men of Tyros here," said Tina. |
10 |
| 18 | 311 |
"There are fifty-five, excluding Sarus of Tyros, their leader," I told her. |
10 |
| 18 | 316 |
"I think," said Cara, smiling, "there is danger here, too, for those of Tyros". |
10 |
| 18 | 329 |
The men of Tyros might use it for their fires, and their beacon. |
10 |
| 18 | 352 |
The pile of branches and driftwood was some twenty pasangs south of the camp of the men of Tyros. |
10 |
| 18 | 470 |
Their ships are seen as far to the south as Schendi and Bazi, as far to the north as the great frozen sea, and are known as far to the west as the cliffs of Tyros and the terraces of Cos. |
10 |
| 18 | 540 |
There were, altogether, sixteen men of Tyros, including he who held the tiller. |
10 |
| 18 | 552 |
"I was stolen from Bosk of Port Kar," wept Tina, "by the terrible Sarus of Tyros". |
10 |
| 18 | 566 |
"Better the bracelets of a master than the teeth of a sleen?" asked one of the men of Tyros. |
10 |
| 18 | 573 |
"Who is he?" inquired the leader, himself in the yellow of Tyros. |
10 |
| 18 | 608 |
Again the men of Tyros, on the beach, did not notice the log, perhaps from some island or jutting point, washing into shore, some yards from them. |
10 |
| 18 | 609 |
Tina was now kneeling at the side of the leader of the men of Tyros. |
10 |
| 18 | 630 |
"It is Sarus of Tyros," he said. |
10 |
| 19 | 1 |
The Stockade of Sarus of Tyros "Who goes there!" challenged the guard. |
10 |
| 19 | 2 |
I stood in the darkness, on the beach, clad in the yellow of Tyros. |
10 |
| 19 | 13 |
"Captain!" We stood some hundred yards from the palisade erected by the men of Tyros, south of it, on the beach. |
10 |
| 19 | 16 |
I saw men of Tyros pouring from the palisade, and, too, some of the women of Hura. |
10 |
| 19 | 72 |
"You wear the yellow of Tyros," he said. |
10 |
| 19 | 73 |
"I am not of Tyros," I told him. |
10 |
| 19 | 82 |
The men of Tyros looked at one another. |
10 |
| 19 | 101 |
"Do not stand close to me," I told two men of Tyros. |
10 |
| 19 | 115 |
She stood there, behind two men of Tyros. |
10 |
| 19 | 124 |
I held her helplessly, and raped her lips with a kiss, an insolent kiss, such as a master might use to dismiss a slave girl, and then threw her from me, against the feet of the men of Tyros. |
10 |
| 19 | 127 |
The men of Tyros were startled. |
10 |
| 19 | 138 |
They were strange allies, the men of Tyros, the women of Hura. |
10 |
| 19 | 142 |
The mood of the men of Tyros toward them was not pleasant. |
10 |
| 19 | 145 |
The slaves in the stockade, the twenty-two wenches behind the circle of the men of Tyros and the women of Hura, and beyond them, lying on their stomachs, chained, facing the back wall of the stockade, Marlenus and the twenty others, could know little or nothing of what was transpiring. |
10 |
| 19 | 154 |
A man of Tyros threw more wood on a fire inside the stockade, well illuminating the interior. |
10 |
| 19 | 162 |
He had doubtless risen through the ranks to a position of prominence, which, given the aristocracies of Tyros, was unusual. |
10 |
| 19 | 168 |
He had achieved it against great odds, on the isle of Tyros. |
10 |
| 19 | 170 |
He reminded me a bit of Chenbar of Tyros, her Ubar, also of lowly origin. |
10 |
| 19 | 173 |
There had been much warfare in Tyros over the succession to the throne of the Ubar. |
10 |
| 19 | 175 |
I did not know, now, how things stood in Tyros. |
10 |
| 19 | 180 |
"I had not known," I said, "that Chenbar of Tyros had escaped". |
10 |
| 19 | 185 |
With their axes they broke through to him, shattered the rings from the stones, and carried him safe to Tyros. |
10 |
| 19 | 188 |
An hour after his arrival on Tyros, the Rhoda, under my command, raised mast and dipped oars for Lydius". |
10 |
| 19 | 194 |
"Who of Torvaldsland," I asked, "dared to free Chenbar of Tyros?" "A madman," laughed Sarus. |
10 |
| 19 | 205 |
"I trust," I said, "that you, and men of Tyros, are less mad". |
10 |
| 19 | 241 |
The slave girls lay bound in the shadows, head to foot, behind the men of Tyros, the women of Hura. |
10 |
| 19 | 255 |
As I looked on, unmoved, Hura, and her women, screaming and struggling, seized from behind by the men of Tyros, were thrown to their bellies in the dirt. |
10 |
| 19 | 317 |
"Please help us," begged the women of the men of Tyros. |
10 |
| 19 | 347 |
"He is Bosk of Port Kar!" I heard a stirring among the slaves behind the men of Tyros. |
10 |
| 19 | 353 |
I heard a whip crack twice, as a man of Tyros ran amongst them, to force them down again. |
10 |
| 19 | 397 |
"The men of Tyros," I said, "are harsh in their disciplining of women". |
10 |
| 19 | 444 |
"He is mad," said one of the men of Tyros. |
10 |
| 19 | 453 |
"Yes," I said, again regarding the men of Tyros, "I have lost my honor, but you must not understand by that that I have forgotten it. |
10 |
| 20 | 1 |
What Occurred in the Stockade of Sarus of Tyros I thrust. |
10 |
| 20 | 25 |
I moved so to place a man of Tyros between me and the quarrel. |
10 |
| 20 | 27 |
I fended the blade of the man of Tyros from my heart. |
10 |
| 20 | 37 |
I had not worn the yellow of Tyros for nothing. |
10 |
| 20 | 69 |
Another man of Tyros reeled away from me, stumbling, falling against the chained slaves. |
10 |
| 20 | 72 |
In their light I could see men of Tyros, blades drawn, back to back, eyes wild. |
10 |
| 20 | 78 |
I saw two men of Tyros running, breaking suddenly for the gate. |
10 |
| 20 | 83 |
A yellow-clad man of Tyros suddenly thrust at me with a spear. |
10 |
| 20 | 108 |
Four of the men at the gate, thinking to protect themselves, ran against other men of Tyros. |
10 |
| 20 | 109 |
I saw Hura darting free, cut loose by a man of Tyros. |
10 |
| 20 | 111 |
I encountered a man of Tyros, back against the wall. |
10 |
| 20 | 115 |
Some six men of Tyros, near the center of the stockade, some fifteen yards from the gate, were engaged with blades, striking at one another. |
10 |
| 20 | 131 |
Four times my blade thrust, and four men of Tyros slipped back, stumbling from the gate. |
10 |
| 20 | 153 |
I saw two more men of Tyros fall, one with Sarus, one with those who had attempted to flee. |
10 |
| 20 | 155 |
Another man of Tyros fell, at the hands of one of his fellows, and then another. |
10 |
| 20 | 160 |
"Stop, in the name of Chenbar!" The men of Tyros, wild-eyed, half crazed with fear, fell back. |
10 |
| 20 | 161 |
I knew then how in Tyros stood the word of Chenbar. |
10 |
| 20 | 260 |
At the line of the men of Tyros the torches were lifted. |
10 |
| 20 | 262 |
"Greetings," said I, "Sarus of the island of Tyros". |
10 |
| 20 | 275 |
No man at the line of the men of Tyros carried it. |
10 |
| 20 | 308 |
A large fellow, clad in the yellow of Tyros, entered. |
10 |
| 21 | 3 |
They did so, in the yellow tunics of Tyros, sullen, ringed by the blades and spear points of my men. |
10 |
| 21 | 25 |
The side of my tunic, the yellow of Tyros, was thick and stiff with clotted blood. |
10 |
| 21 | 53 |
He had failed his Ubar, Chenbar of Tyros, called the Sea Sleen. |
10 |

I might, rather than Sarus, take them as prizes to Tyros. |
10 |
| 21 | 137 |
Another of the men of Marlenus went to the belongings of the men of Tyros, to seize garments. |
10 |
| 21 | 157 |
She had followed the backtrail of the men of Tyros. |
10 |
| 21 | 222 |
"Chain these men of Tyros," I heard Marlenus order. |
10 |
| 21 | 249 |
Dark, ahead, were the hulls of the Rhoda, a ship of Tyros, and the Tesephone, a light galley of Port Kar. |

10 |

Several were armed well, with weapons taken from those of Tyros. |
