We saw the ship ahead of us trying to come about, but, before she could make four points of the Gorean compass, our ram struck the corner of her stern, skidding through and freeing itself, the ships, the Dorna's port oars inboard, grating together, and then the Dorna was clear, free, and we were driving toward the stern of the next ship. - (Raiders of Gor, Chapter 14, Sentence #189)

There were still four ships ahead of us. The nearest was not more than a hundred yards before the one we had just struck. The noise of our strike and the cries of the men aboard the rammed ship carried over the water. We saw the ship ahead of us trying to come about, but, before she could make four points of the Gorean compass, our ram struck the corner of her stern, skidding through and freeing itself, the ships, the Dorna's port oars inboard, grating together, and then the Dorna was clear, free, and we were driving toward the stern of the next ship. We heard trumpets blaring behind us frantically, trying to warn the ship ahead of us. It, too, began to come about, and we caught her amidships, the ram thrusting through the heavy planking like kindling, then stopped by the shield, like a spread tarn's crest, and we chopped our way back and free, and then knifed past her stern toward the next two ships. By this time the two ships ahead of us were well aware of their danger and, given the distances involved, neither captain elected to chance the dangerous maneuver of coming about to meet us. - (Raiders of Gor)
