The line of darkness in the north was now a margin of darkness. - (Raiders of Gor, Chapter 17, Sentence #130)

I uncorked the gourd and took some of the water. There had been a light film of ice in it. Some of the crystals melted in my mouth. The line of darkness in the north was now a margin of darkness. I turned my attention again to the battle. As I watched, the long, strung-out line of round ships of Port Kar moved past, tacking, scarcely using their oars, their small, triangular storm sails beaten from the north. The lateen-rigged galley, whether a round ship or a ram-ship, although it can furl its sail, cannot well let out and take in sail; it is not a square-rigged craft; accordingly she carries different sails for different conditions; the yard itself, from the mast, is lowered and hoisted, sails being removed, or attached; the three main types of sail used are all lateens, and differ largely in their size; there is a large, fair-weather sail, used with light winds; there is a smaller sail, used with strong winds astern; and yet a smaller sail, a storm sail, used most often in riding out storms. - (Raiders of Gor)
