10 |
| 11 | 328 |
"The captains of the council," said Samos, dryly, "have some one thousand ships pledged to their personal service. |
10 |
| 11 | 335 |
"I refer to the ships of the minor captains, in the number of better than twenty-five hundred!" "In the streets," said Samos, "I have heard the cry 'Power to the council!'" "Proclaim Henrius Sevarius sole Ubar," said Lysias numbly, "and your lives will be spared, and you will be granted amnesty". |
10 |
| 11 | 354 |
"Glorious Captains," said Samos. |
10 |
| 11 | 363 |
Even the page boys and the scribes, and minor captains, in the back of the room and about the sides, cried out these words. |
10 |
| 11 | 372 |
"I now ask the table scribe," said Samos, "to call the roll of captains". |

There were some abstentions, and some nays, perhaps from those who feared the power of one or another of the Ubars, but the decision on the whole was clear, a devastating of the claims of the Ubars and the, in effect, enthronement of the Council of Captains as sovereign in the city. |

It was shortly past daybreak, and the gray light of Port Kar's dawn was filtering in through the high, narrow windows of the Council of Captains. |
10 |
| 11 | 424 |
His words received grunts of affirmation from the assembled captains. |
10 |
| 11 | 428 |
The captains looked at one another. |
10 |
| 11 | 430 |
I saw one or two of the captains raise their heads from the arms of their curule chairs. |
10 |
| 11 | 449 |
"No!" came the cry from the assembled captains. |
10 |
| 11 | 452 |
The captains looked at one another in puzzlement, and then they began to smile, and then several laughed. |
10 |
| 11 | 462 |
The captains looked at me, dumbfounded. |
10 |
| 11 | 466 |
Several of the captains then laughed. |
10 |
| 11 | 476 |
The captains muttered angrily. |
10 |
| 11 | 480 |
"Then," said one of the captains, "they must intend to bring their fleets against us". |
10 |
| 11 | 482 |
There was a grunt of agreement from the captains. |
10 |
| 11 | 484 |
"You speak quickly," he said, "for one who is new to the Council of Captains". |
10 |
| 11 | 496 |
The captains looked at one another. |
10 |
| 11 | 503 |
Peace, my captains, might well prove profitable". |
10 |
| 11 | 508 |

There are merchants of other cities, voyagers and captains, known to us, who will, for their fees, gladly conduct this business". |
10 |
| 11 | 560 |
"I am, of course, highly honored," I began, "that noble Samos should think of me, that he should nominate me, doubtless the lowliest of the captains here assembled, for a post of such distinction, that of bearing the peace of Port Kar to her hereditary enemies Cos and Tyros". |
10 |
| 11 | 561 |
The captains looked at one another, grinning. |
10 |
| 11 | 575 |
The captains regarded one another. |
10 |
| 11 | 586 |
The captains said nothing. |
10 |
| 11 | 601 |
I asked myself if Samos thought he was so easily rid of me, one who might challenge him, senior captain, in the council of the captains of Port Kar. |
10 |
| 11 | 609 |
And then I turned to the captains on the tiers. |
10 |
| 12 | 4 |
Until the formation of the council guard, the captains and their men would have for their responsibility the maintaining of watches throughout the city. |
10 |
| 12 | 88 |
"Of the Council of Captains?" he asked. |
10 |
| 13 | 12 |
I put to them, the Ubars of Cos and Tyros, as well as I could, the proposals of the Council of Captains of Port Kar, that there would be concord, and doubtless an opening of commerce, between the two Ubarates and the maligned city in the Vosk's delta, my own Port Kar. |
10 |
| 13 | 188 |
"I trust, too," said Chenbar, "that you will not be the last of the captains of Port Kar to pull an oar on the round ships of Cos or Tyros". |
10 |
| 13 | 229 |
By the eighth hour various captains of round ships had arrived and begun to haggle with the slave master over the prices of the oarsmen. |
10 |
| 13 | 241 |
"Let me test your grip," said one of the captains. |
10 |
| 14 | 354 |
"If these figures are correct," I said to Clitus, "as doubtless they are, we and the Captains of Port Kar are today the masters of much treasure". |
10 |
| 14 | 463 |
And, of tarn ships, I have one captured, your flagship, and, from the reports of my captains, some eighteen or twenty have been seriously damaged or sunk. |
10 |
| 15 | 15 |
The ships, in a splendid, long line, filing behind me, the Dorna first, then the tarn ships, then the round ships, under oars, moved slowly through the city, following the triumphal circuit of the great canal, passing even before the chamber of the Council of Captains. |
10 |
| 15 | 87 |
"When the treasures have been checked, tallied, and appraised, which should take some four or five weeks," I told her, "you, with your maidens, in the chains of slave girls, will be displayed, together with samples of, and full accountings of, the other treasures, before the Council of Captains". |
10 |
| 15 | 92 |
"What will you do with us after we have been displayed before the Council of Captains?" she asked. |
10 |
| 15 | 102 |
In this very afternoon the formal presentations and accountings of the victory and its plunder had taken place in the chamber of the Council of Captains. |
10 |
| 15 | 107 |
And now, in this very afternoon, my glories had been climaxed in the chamber of the Council of Captains, in which had taken place the formal presentations and accountings of the victory and its plunder, in which had taken place the commendation of the Council for my deeds and the awarding of its mos... |

10 |
| 15 | 249 |
I fingered the broad scarlet ribbon and the medallion, pendant about my neck, bearing its tarn ship and initials, those of the Council of Captains of Port Kar. |
10 |
| 15 | 259 |
They had not in themselves the stuff of captains. |
10 |
| 15 | 346 |
I fingered the golden medallion with the lateen-rigged tarn ship, and the initials of the Council of Captains of Port Kar in its half-curve beneath it. |
10 |
| 15 | 481 |
This afternoon I had presented her, with her maidens, in the chains of slave girls, together with portions of the treasures of the treasure fleet, and accountings of the balance thereof, before the Council of Captains of Port Kar. |
10 |
| 15 | 486 |
This afternoon, after returning from the Council of Captains, I had had her marked and collared. |
10 |
| 15 | 507 |
I had also had her maidens marked and collared, following the meeting of the Council of Captains. |
10 |
| 15 | 649 |
"Admiral!" I clutched the medallion about my neck, with its tarn ship and the initials of the Council of Captains of Port Kar. |
10 |
| 15 | 817 |
"You, too," she said, "wear a collar!" I tore away from my throat the broad scarlet ribbon, with its pendant medallion, with the tarn ship and the initials of the Council of Captains of Port Kar. |
10 |
| 16 | 142 |
"And captains are fleeing! All who can are leaving Port Kar!" I looked at him. |
10 |
| 16 | 153 |
I picked up the broad scarlet ribbon, with its medallion, that with the tarn ship and the initials of the Council of Captains of Port Kar. |
10 |
| 16 | 178 |
"What are we to do?" asked one of my captains. |
10 |
| 16 | 211 |
"Many of the captains," said another officer, "are already weighing anchor for the northern islands". |
10 |
| 16 | 297 |
"To the Council of Captains," I told them. |
10 |
| 16 | 309 |
The ship nosed through the canals of Port Kar toward the hall of the Council of Captains. |
10 |
| 16 | 338 |
"I think to the Council of Captains," said one of the men on the walk. |
10 |
| 16 | 341 |
I saw bundles thrown down and arms unsheathed, and behind us, in throngs of thousands now, came the people of Port Kar, following us to the great piazza before the hall of the Council of Captains. |
10 |
| 16 | 342 |
Even before the man in the bow had tied the tharlarion-prowed longboat to a mooring post at the piazza, I had leaped up to the tiles and was striding, robes swirling, across the squares of the broad piazza toward the great door of the hall of the Council of Captains. |
10 |
| 16 | 348 |
Of the usual seventy or eighty, or so, captains of the approximately one hundred and twenty entitled to sit in the council, only some thirty or forty were present. |
10 |
| 16 | 352 |
The captains sat silently. |
10 |
| 16 | 354 |
Two more captains rose to their feet and left the room. |
10 |
| 16 | 362 |
The captains looked up. |
10 |
| 16 | 364 |
"How many of you," asked I of the captains, "stand ready to undertake the defense of your city?" Dark, long-haired Bejar was there. |
10 |
| 16 | 367 |
"Most of the captains have already fled. |
10 |
| 16 | 368 |
And hundreds of the lesser captains. |
10 |
| 16 | 381 |
Through the thick walls, and the high, narrow windows of the hall of the Council of Captains, there came a great, rumbling cry, the thunderous mixture of roiling shouts. |
10 |
| 16 | 393 |
The captains looked at me. |
10 |
| 16 | 395 |
Then the other captains, too, laughed. |
10 |
| 16 | 400 |
Slaves are not permitted in the hall of the captains. |
10 |
| 16 | 417 |
"Captains," said I, "accompany me to the steps of the hall". |
10 |
| 16 | 418 |
They followed me, and I left the chamber of the council, and, in a few moments, stood on the top of the broad marbled steps leading up to the hall of the Council of Captains. |
10 |
| 17 | 11 |
Beyond this, we had three hundred and fifty ships furnished by the captains of the council who had not, prior to the time of the showing of the Home Stone, fled. |
10 |
| 17 | 13 |
My own ships counted in with these of the captains of the council. |
10 |
| 17 | 86 |
Hopefully, the terror of being taken in the flank might cause many captains, or even Chenbar himself, to have the fleet put about, and, if so, this would make their ships the most vulnerable to our own. |
10 |
| 17 | 151 |
Surely many captains, of the council and otherwise, had done so, their holds filled with their chained slaves and secured treasures. |
10 |
| 17 | 293 |
"Of all the tarnsmen in Port Kar," I said, "and of all the captains, you alone have accepted the risks of this venture, the use of tarns at sea". |
10 |
| 18 | 117 |
How else, I asked myself, had he been able to take an oar on the longboat in the canals when I had gone to the hall of the Council of Captains, or been able to board the Dorna, or taken his place in the longboat that had ferried me to the round ship? I, too, was not unfond of the boy. |
10 |
| 18 | 676 |
"The Council of Captains of Port Kar," said Samos, "has business with you". |
10 |
| 18 | 831 |
"Why!" "Samos," said I, "was it from you that the message came, months ago, which I received in the Council of Captains, seeking to speak with me?" "Yes," said Samos. |
10 |
| 18 | 833 |
"The dungeon of the hall of captains scarcely seemed the place to discuss the business of Priest-Kings". |
