There had been a horrendous sound of splintering, as the heavy gate had cut through the strakes of the galley like an ax through twigs. - (Rogue of Gor, Chapter 29, Sentence #261)

There had been a horrendous sound of splintering, as the heavy gate had cut through the strakes of the galley like an ax through twigs. In that moment I had seen, through the closely set latticework of the gate, the chopped galley leaping upward. I saw Callimachus thrown into the water, and the men, suddenly, lifted up with the galley, some clinging to benches, others rolling on the deck. Almost at the same time the walls, on the inside, seemed alive with archers, who must have been hidden behind the parapets. - (Rogue of Gor)
