"Never in the history of the Thing," called Svein, "has there been so high a winner in the contests as he whom we now proceed to honor". - (Marauders of Gor, Chapter 12, Sentence #23)

Svein Blue Tooth rose to his feet, standing before the heavy, carved wooden chair. Bera remained sitting. About his neck, on its golden chain, hung the tooth of the Hunjer whale, dyed blue. "Never in the history of the Thing," called Svein, "has there been so high a winner in the contests as he whom we now proceed to honor". I was not surprised that this was true. Ivar Forkbeard had won six talmits. He had won a talmit for climbing the "mast," a tall pole of needle wood; it was some fifty feet high, and was peeled and smoothed; he had won one for "leaping the crevice," which was actually a broad jump, performed on level ground; one for walking the "oar," which was actually a long pole; two in contests of the spear, one for distance and one for accuracy; and one in swimming. - (Marauders of Gor)
