Chapter # Sentence # Quote
9 155 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, had not taken place in more than a century.
9 156 No, I said to myself, Port Kar is safe from the sea.
