25 1888 Did she really think that there were not millions upon millions of men on Earth who would not desire to have her so in their power, who would not relish seeing her in a slave collar, who would not delight in seeing her at their feet, who would not rejoice to sip and savor the wines of her bondage, w...

79 499 I would rather I had collared you amongst the collapsing walls of a burning city, that I had bought you off a block in Ar! A thousand times better I had discovered you for myself, in an exposition cage in Venna, or as you were being marched naked down the gangplank of a corsair in Port...

4 162 To be sure, the vessel itself would seem an impractical corsair, but I knew she sheltered at least one nested galley, which might plausibly exercise the dark vocation of the low, green ships.

8 635 "We were first used on the deck of the corsair itself".
31 21 She had been a free woman of Cos, captured at sea by a corsair from Port Kar, as had been the girl from Tabor with whom I had been sold in the Metellan district, though much farther from shore, had been sold to rencers in the delta of the Vosk, who had sold her at a profit to a camp of...

9 42 "It is, then, a corsair," said the officer.
9 155 Considering that the coast is generally kept in view, it seemed unlikely it would have been lost at sea; considering how long it had been with us it seemed unlikely it would have encountered difficulties of which we would have been unaware; and now, considering our position, and how far north we wer...

8 639 "A corsair," he said, "flying the colors of Cos".
8 659 "The captain," I said, "spoke of a corsair".
8 660 "It is a corsair," said the keeper, "undoubtedly".
8 678 "We could never outdistance the corsair," he said.
8 683 "Surely you note that the corsair has positioned itself between us and the shore," said the keeper.
8 685 "And," I said, "if we turn out to sea, the corsair could overtake us?" "Within the Ahn," he said.
8 688 He then looked about, and then, shading his eyes with his hand, looked back, at the corsair.
8 703 We have realized we could not beat the corsair to the shore, so we have no choice but to risk all on flight".
8 707 "But note," said the keeper, "as we turn to the open sea, we draw the corsair behind us".
8 814 Their attention was on the corsair, now paused, oars at rest, a few yards away.
8 820 Surely, if, at the sturdy, narrow bow of the corsair, invisible, just below the surface of the water, fixed in place, there was a beak or snout of metal, it would have some purpose.
8 830 What was it, I wondered, that had so frightened her before? How could it be that she could bear our current peril with such equanimity? I turned back to look at the corsair, gentle in the water.
8 858 "The corsair," I said, "is putting down a long boat".
8 866 I heard shouts from the corsair, cries of alarm.
8 872 "There!" cried one of our men, pointing outward, past the corsair.
8 875 The corsair began to turn toward the shore.
8 878 Others were crowded at the rail of the corsair.
8 887 The bow and stern of the corsair seemed to fold toward one another.
8 889 There must have been a gaping hole in the side of the corsair.
8 895 There must have been a hundred men or more on the corsair.
8 902 The corsair then settled under the waves.
24 18 She was brought to Port Kar tied at the prow of the corsair which had taken her vessel.

36 130 Following the withdrawal of the corsair fleet from Daphna, after the Daphna incident, many mercenaries left the corsair fleet, and few enlisted to take their places.
57 33 Several mercenaries had plunged into the sea with hand axes, and, reaching and climbing upward in the rolling sea, assisted by oars thrust forth from the corsair, dipping and rising, had clambered onto the few remaining oars of the Tesephone which were still holding the corsair
59 34 The Theran fleet under Nicomachos, anticipating land action on Chios near Mytilene, had embarked with numerous Cosian regulars aboard, which allowed frequent shifts of oarsmen, an advantage which the corsair fleet had itself hitherto exploited, this now, however, enabling the Theran fl...
4 134 "Our poor vessel, the Doris," said the first, "was beset by pirates, two days ago, by the dreaded corsair, the merciless Bosk of Port Kar, rogue of Thassa!" "The crew was slaughtered," said the second.
5 100 A wise corsair would do better to range the waters more broadly".
5 101 "Unless," said Clitus, "the corsair was informed, if it knew the vessel, the time, and course".
7 22 We have long sought the trail of this mysterious, elusive, merciless corsair, Bosk, of Port Kar".
7 117 "If there are six or so corsair ships, fully manned, or more than fully manned," said Nicomachos, "one would be dealing with several hundred men.
7 181 How much better for us that the authorities of Thera, or Cos, whose legal charge it was, utilizing the weapon of the Fleet of the Farther Islands, some twenty ships or so, should locate, engage, and destroy the corsair fleet.
8 51 Too, with this advancement, we have now solved the mystery of the vanishing corsair fleet.
8 58 "Ships! Ships! I make out four, no, five, no, six!" "The corsair fleet!" said Clitus.
8 95 It lies within range of the corsair fleet.
8 117 I considered the rhythm of the oars in the corsair fleet.
16 187 "Who has not heard of that dreadful pirate, so elusive and ruthless a corsair?" "Might his predations, on land and sea, be somehow supported and abetted by living islands?" "I should hope not," she said.
18 178 Presumably he seeks clues as to the whereabouts of the feared corsair, Bosk of Port Kar, who has so plundered the coast and ravaged the local waters".
22 75 I had no doubt these were replacement vessels for the corsair ships I had burned on Daphna.
22 76 The destroyed corsair fleet had possessed four ships of fifty-oars and two of thirty-oars.
22 78 Moreover, if the ships were out of Telnus, the greatest of the harbors on Cos, it seemed clear that Lurius of Jad himself, the Ubar of Cos, had invested resources in replacing the corsair fleet.
22 81 Why would Lurius interest himself in such unimportant, distant matters? The winnings of the corsair fleet, with its plundering of small villages, and the sacking and sinking of an occasional merchantman, could bring no more than tarsk-bits, so to speak, into the treasury of Cos.
22 82 "I fear," I said, "the corsair fleet, and a more formidable one this time, is now at Mytilene".
23 37 On the morning the corsair fleet, with its seven ships, was to depart the harbor at Mytilene in pursuit of the three Brundisium merchantmen, superstitious terror gripped savage crews.
25 21 "I have come here," I said, "thinking about the corsair fleet.
25 25 "At least," I said, "we have determined that the corsair fleet is not at Mytilene".
26 44 "Steady, helms," I said, "two points more!" "The corsair gains," said Sakim.
26 122 "Not on a corsair ship," I said.
26 123 "Perhaps it was not a corsair ship," he said.
26 124 "It was a ship of corsairs," I said, "even if it was not a corsair ship".
27 54 We had burned the corsair fleet and left the corsairs themselves to perish, stranded in what may well be Daphna's most inhospitable region".
28 12 "I take it, Captain Glycon," said Melete, "that your ship, the Hermione, and the others of the corsair fleet, are properly positioned".
28 14 "As far as I know, there is no Captain Glycon and no ship, Hermione, and the corsair fleet, I would suppose, presumably disguised as merchantmen, is in the harbor at Sybaris".
