The raiders have acted more expeditiously than I had expected". We had been camped four days in this spot, some pasangs from the likely landing point of the raiders. In drawing up the false map, which I had arranged to have stolen in The Living Island, I had located the spurious Village of Flowing Gold on Daphna, the least populated of the Farther Islands, in a desolate area, where the raiders might be most easily isolated and discomfited, no civilized enclaves at hand from which to obtain support or succor.
