33 649 I suspected it had come from the side of the canal boat, from the right side of the canal boat, in the darkness, and somehow, in the mix of waters, that of the exiting freshwater flow of the Vosk, draining through the marsh, and the incoming, rising tide of the Tamber, had turned and moved behind me...

10
21 84 At the edge of the walkway, by the canal, I saw a short, narrow, pointed, metal-finned, metal, cylindrical object, an arrow or missile of some sort.

26 55 We had not, as I previously noted, lit the small lantern on the prow of our canal boat.
Details
10
26 59 Could I have done so I would have cried out, for something rose up under the canal boat, lifting it a foot from the water, and tipping it to the side, and then, scraping the bottom of the boat, it slithered away, to the right.
Details
10
26 81 Perhaps, I thought, it is just as well that Bruno of Torcadino had refrained from lighting the small lantern on the prow of the canal boat.
Details
10
26 109 I wondered if it might not have been something else, another canal boat, or, say, one of the small Rencer ships, made of woven rence.
Details
10
26 120 I could not cry out, for what had been done to me days ago, before I had awakened near the Canal of the Sea Sleen.

27 1 What Occurred by the Canal of the Sea Sleen "Palace Street is too open for what I have in mind," said Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
27 2 "Here, this should serve nicely, here by the Canal of the Sea Sleen".
Details
10
27 3 Several days ago, after my miseries in an apartment, at the mercy of Dorna of Tharna, Addison Steele, and, I thought, a mysterious third party, which had remained generally concealed behind an ornate screen, I had awakened somewhere along the Canal of the Sea Sleen.
Details
10
27 103 "When we are done with her, cast her into the canal," said the third man.
Details
10
27 208 I looked toward the canal and saw a roiling of water, some thirty or forty paces from where we stood.
Details
10
28 1 What Occurred After the Business by the Canal I was in the apartment, the domicile, of Bruno of Torcadino.
Details
10
28 8 It was the evening of the day in which Bruno of Torcadino, at the edge of the Canal of the Sea Sleen, had recouped his finances.
Details
10
31 19 I had also seen the movement of his sword at the edge of the Canal of the Sea Sleen.
Details
10
33 2 We were no longer in one of the single-oared canal boats.
Details
10
33 18 The previous few nights Bruno of Torcadino had essayed this journey, as previously, in a canal boat.
Details
10
33 23 The canal boat is too large.
Details
10
33 26 Why can we not do so, as well? A canal boat is easily seen and avoided, a rence craft not so.
Details
10
33 68 The difference, I suspect, was in our vessel, the rence craft as opposed to a canal boat.
Details
10
33 69 When we had availed ourselves of a canal boat, we were far more aware of tharlarion in the vicinity, turning in the water, emerging and submerging, sometimes circling the boat.
Details
10
33 93 Then I could see, in its own lights, one at the stern, one at the bow, a large canal boat.
Details
10
33 94 In the canal boat were some seven or eight men, mostly sitting.
Details
10
33 124 Some yards before the canal boat the waters stirred, swelling up, and then parted, revealing, shedding water, a rising, monstrous head.
Details
10
33 129 The grip of such jaws could tear loose the side from a canal boat, or bite a rence craft in two.
Details
10
33 130 In the light of the forward lantern on the canal boat I saw the reflection of light on metal teeth and fangs.
Details
10
33 136 It could easily evade and outdistance the canal boat.
Details
10
33 141 It had responded to the signal of the man in the bow of the canal boat.
Details
10
33 146 Very gently, I remaining still, Bruno of Torcadino moved our rence craft closer to, but to the right side and behind, the canal boat.
Details
10
33 147 None in the canal boat, as far as I could discern, were aware of our presence.
Details
10
33 154 Occasionally canal boats are stranded on a bar and one must disembark and thrust the craft free.
Details
10
33 167 "Much cannot be helped, great lord," said the fellow in the bow of the canal boat.
Details
10
33 172 Despite the might and horror of the object to which he addressed himself, there was neither reluctance nor apology, nor cringing, nor fear, in the tone of the man in the bow of the canal boat.
Details
10
33 182 "I make no excuses," said the man in the bow of the canal boat.
Details
10
33 186 The two lights on the canal boat, one at the stern, one at the prow, were reflected in the water, shimmering there, and were reflected, as well, from the metal plates or scales, of the hideous monstrosity but yards away.
Details
10
33 189 Perhaps the difference was the size of the canal boat, the number of men aboard, or even the complacency, or confidence, of those aboard.
Details
10
33 261 I was terrified in the bow of the tiny rence craft, so near now to the canal boat, and the dread thing of such terrible mien, illuminated in the light of the two lanterns.
Details
10
33 306 "Do not fire," said Addison Steele, clutching the rail of the canal boat.

33 367 Some men, with torches and drawn swords clambered over the side of the canal boat and were wading about.
Details
10
33 368 Two others, with armed crossbows, surveyed the water from the canal boat.
Details
10
33 384 I realized I was being forced back toward the canal boat.
Details
10
33 427 I was half carried, half dragged, to the side of the canal boat, and men reached down and hauled me aboard.
Details
10
33 428 I knelt amongst the feet of the men, my head down to the deck of the canal boat.
Details

33 430 "What of he who named himself Bruno of Torcadino?" demanded Pa-Kur of his men, who were now muchly returned to the canal boat.
Details
10
33 516 One light was at the stern of the canal boat, the other at its bow.
Details
10
33 537 "There was a room by a canal," he said.

33 555 The canal boat was then behind me, listing.

33 662 In the attack of the Ul, the night before, the canal boat of the Assassin, Pa-Kur, had been muchly damaged.
Details
10
33 668 Some of the canal boat's debris, given currents and such, had apparently taken much the same course that I had followed in my flight.
Details
10
35 16 A moment later the propelling oar moved, and the canal boat was underway.
Details
10
35 17 Given the noises of various males, presumably on occasional walkways, or possibly even in other canal boats, passing, I soon realized why I had been permitted to stand.
Details
10
35 42 I was lifted from the canal boat and felt stone tiles beneath my feet.
Details
10
37 33 How should I know where I was? I had been brought here, hooded, in a canal boat and only relieved of the hood on the walkway.
Details
10
37 62 There was not much traffic here, even in the bordering canal.
Details
10
37 68 They usually have a narrow landing with mooring cleats, but often they will have one or two vertical, colorful, thick, capped, metal poles, rising from the canal itself, to which boats may be tethered.
Details
10
37 170 Miles raised his hand, waving, summoning the guard boat to the edge of the canal.
Details
10
37 176 The boat came gently to the side of the canal.
Details
10
37 199 I, bent over, my hands on Florian's wrist, was conducted to the edge of the canal.
Details
10
37 245 He raised his hands from the canal boat, toward her, and she bent down, extending her hands, parallel, to hand him the coins.
Details
10
37 261 The subordinate meanwhile slapped slave bracelets on her held wrists, and the officer pulled her down, into the canal boat, and put her to her stomach.
Details
10
37 268 I felt Florian's sandaled foot against my fundament, pressing, and he gave me a vigorous push, and I, so impelled, half stumbled, half fell, into the canal boat which, even then, as Florian boarded, was drawing away from the walkway.

39 93 "What is the meaning of this? Let me go! Free me! What are you going to do? Stop! Stop!" One of the guards entered, one I recognized from the canal boat, carrying Dorna in his arms.
Details
10
39 109 Two more men entered the room below, Miles, whom I knew from the holding, and he who had been the seeming officer on the canal boat, whom I shall refer to as "the officer".
Details
10
41 91 "It seems the intruders hold the parapet and the top three levels of the holding, and are at the canal gate below," said Cella.
Details
10
41 98 It made sense to me that the intruders were also at the holding's canal gate.
Details
10
41 100 The intruders would presumably have reached the vicinity of the canal gate from the roof, by descending rope ladders similar to those used to reach the parapet.
Details
10
41 111 The defenders then would be trapped between the intruders within the holding and those outside, at the canal gate.
Details
10
41 222 "Slaves," said he, "utilize the back stairways, and make your way to the first level, to the inner vestibule of the canal gate".
Details
10
41 223 I recalled hearing that intruders were in the vicinity of the canal gate, presumably to guard against Adraste's being slipped from the holding to safety.
Details
10
42 1 An Alarm is Given; A Ruse is Enacted; The Bridge of Boats; A Large Canal Boat Casts Off "I hear it!" said Cella.
Details
10
42 12 Then, would there not be time to reach the parapet, crush resistance, and reach the safety of the waiting barges? I and the other slaves, by means of a narrow, obscure stairway, one of those different from the open, broader stairwells which a column of men might ascend abreast, had now reached the i...
Details
10
42 27 "So," I thought to myself, "the intruders within the canal gate are no longer content to wait, watching the portal, lest Adraste be ushered through to safety in the city.
Details
10
42 35 I estimated that there had been some twenty men in the inner vestibule, to guard the barricade, and presumably some others, doubtless fewer, in the outer vestibule, to monitor the portal within the canal gate which, until moments ago, had not been approached.
Details
10
42 127 Through the ruptured paneling we could see men turned about to face others, streaming in from the broken canal gate at the outer vestibule.
Details
10
42 203 The canal gate, which had been forced inward by the rescuing men of Port Kar, hung awry on its hinges.
Details
10
42 206 "That slave is naked," said a man, interposing himself between a canal boat and Vas of Anango.
Details
10
42 223 Vas of Anango, then, I in his arms, stepped on the planking lying athwart the bridge of boats, that linking the aligned canal boats, that wooden paving which might be trodden by two men abreast.
Details
10
42 224 By such a route, a relieving force, the lifters of a siege, men not crowded in hurrying canal boats, might approach, almost at a run, the landing of the holding of Bosk of Port Kar.
Details
10
42 269 At a gesture from Seremides, Vas of Anango lifted me up, and, with a jangle of bells, cast me into the arms of a fellow on the canal boat.
Details
10
43 10 A small, single-oared canal boat, of the sort typical of Port Kar, was passing us.
Details
10
43 38 Occasionally we saw a woman in a window of one of the buildings lining the canal.
Details
10
43 45 Another canal boat slipped past us, presumably on its way toward the delta wall, perhaps even to the delta-gate market.
Details
10
43 55 "There," said the man whom I took to be the leader of our crew, pointing forward, "the Southern Gate!" A long canal boat, much like ours, was near the Southern Gate, at a pier to its right.
Details
10
43 99 It was true, another large canal boat, which had apparently been lurking outside the Southern Gate, now made its appearance, to the left.
Details
10
43 115 The body, a moment later, toppled into the canal.
Details
10
43 122 The others might go overboard, and trust that the canal sleen and the Tamber sharks have not yet scented the blood in the water.
Details
10
43 158 There was a sudden rending of wood and the iron-reinforced prow of our canal boat rose out of the water, climbing the gunwales of the other boat, and then, after a terrible moment, plunged back into the water, scattered planking and timbers on each side.
Details
10
43 175 The canal boat was buffeted to one side, and was washed back, and then, again and again, it was lifted, and then fell back, dropping between waves.
Details
10
43 215 Somewhere behind, I supposed, the handicapped canal boat of Decius of Venna struggled in our wake.
Details
10
43 225 The canal boat was not only tormented by the rain and spray, but, from the splash of the waves, had shipped water.
Details
10
43 264 I awakened to a cheer, and, half an Ahn later, our canal boat scraped against wood.
Details
10
43 310 Almost at the same time, Vas of Anango called out, "Boats! Canal boats! Six! Others, I think, behind them.
Details
10
45 99 The note of a guardsman's canal trumpet carried across the water to the pier.
Details
10
46 406 "Then strip her, and bind her, hand and foot and put her on the floor of the waiting canal boat, that bearing the design of the holding of Bosk.
Details
10
46 513 Euphrosyne was doubtless on the floor of a canal boat, moored nearby, supine or prone, stripped, and bound hand and foot.
Details
10
46 667 Then we stopped beside a canal.
Details
10
46 682 A bit later, Addison Steele hailed a passing canal boat with its pilot.
Details
10
47 223 "I managed to seize a piece of drifting wreckage, from Pa-Kur's canal boat," I said, "and utilized it to free myself".
