Alyena, too, was much pleased. The men of the Tahari, however, led by Hassan, sought quickly the highest ground in the vicinity. There is little rain erosion in the Tahari, with the result that there are few natural and ready paths to convey water. When it falls, it often falls heavily, and on flat land, in the loose dust. Within minutes of the rain beginning to fall we had to dismount, to drag and pull our struggling, frightened kaiila toward the distant, higher ground. They sank to their knees in the mud, snorting, eyes rolling, and we, mud to our hips, pushing and pulling, sometimes actually seizing one of their mired limbs, freeing it and moving it, at last brought them to the place Hassan had designated, the lee side of a rocky formation. Hassan put Alyena, whom he had carried, beside him. - (Tribesmen of Gor, Chapter )
