33 3 Whereas it had taken four days for me to climb to the lair of Priest-Kings in the Sardar it was on the morning of the second day that Vika and I sighted the remains of the great gate, fallen, and the palisade, now little more than broken and uprooted timbers.

Details
10
33 22 I took another leap, this time putting some effort into it, and cleared the top of the crevice by some ten feet to land between it and the gate.

Details
10
21 65 It took him only a few moments to discover the value of the stones and, when he did, with a cry of disgust, he hurled them away from the gate into the dust, and the two warriors, while I pretended fright and pain, belabored me with the hilts of their weapons.

21 189 We stood on the wall near the main gate of Turia, through which I had entered the city some four days ago, the morning after the departure of the Tuchuk wagons for the pastures this side of the Ta-Thassa Mountains, beyond which lay the vast, gleaming Thassa itself.
Details
10
21 206 The heavy merchant wagon was near the main gate now and it was being waved forward.

10
21 314 Almost instantly there was a wild cry, the war cry of the Tuchuks, and the first five kaiila leaped from outside the gate onto the top of the wagon, finding firm footing on what I had taken to be simple rain canvas, but actually was canvas stretched over a load of rocks and earth, accounting for the...

10
22 45 I was astonished when, at the gate to the palace of Phanius Turmus, the four Tuchuk guards smote their lances three times on their leather shields.

22 53 "I suggested it as appropriate in view of your manly, if somewhat clumsy, efforts at the gate".

10
22 84 At that moment there was a scuffle and commotion at the gate to the inner courtyard and two Tuchuks, one laughing and with a bloody shoulder, were dragging a fiercely resisting, unveiled but clothed girl between them.
Details
10
24 33 Yet it seemed to me true, for Turia was the main avenue of contact between the Wagon Peoples and the other cities of Gor, the gate through which trade goods flowed to the wilderness of grasses that was the land of the riders of the kaiila and the herders of bosk.
Details
10
24 40 Still I was not altogether satisfied, for, on the whole, it seemed to me that Turia might yet have survived even had Kamchak's forces wrought much greater destruction than they had—for example, opening but a single gate and permitting only a few hundred, rather than thousands to escape the ci...

24 174 Muttering I jerked loose the reins of my kaiila from the column to which I had tethered it, leaped to the saddle and raced after Harold, not wishing to be left behind somewhere in the streets of Turia or among the dark wagons beyond the gate, pounding on wagon after wagon to find which one might be ...

24 189 "If it were not for your dignity," I remarked, "I would settle these matters by racing you to the main gate".

24 200 At the main gate I overtook him and together we sped through it, slowing our mounts on the other side to a decorous pace suitable to our rank.

10
26 73 Rather, to my astonishment, a gate of the compound itself opened and wary men-at-arms, their weapons ready, each carrying a cloth sack, emerged.

10
26 94 Slowly, at a walk, he rode toward the main gate of the compound.

10
26 100 Inside the gate of the compound I saw that it seemed deserted, the walls emptied of defenders.

10
29 211 We nosed toward the sea gate, our oars scarcely entering the water.
Details
10
29 212 I could see a lamp lit on a wall, more than three hundred feet within, inside the sea gate.
Details
10
29 213 The sea gate itself was fifty feet in height, large enough, when the barred latticework was lifted, to accommodate a masted cargo galley.
Details
10
29 243 "Raise the gate!" called the man, turning about.
Details
10
29 244 Slowly, creaking, foot by foot, I saw the heavy latticework of the sea gate lifting out of the water, dripping, shiny in its wet blackness, in the light of the three moons.
Details
10
29 253 I looked upward at the high gate, now hung almost above us.
Details
10
29 259 A few feet behind me, hurtling downward, crashing through the foredeck of the galley, fell the great gate of iron.
Details
10
29 261 There had been a horrendous sound of splintering, as the heavy gate had cut through the strakes of the galley like an ax through twigs.
Details
10
29 262 In that moment I had seen, through the closely set latticework of the gate, the chopped galley leaping upward.
Details
10
29 268 Outside the gate I saw the rest of the galley subsiding into the water.
Details
10
29 271 I swam underwater to the base of the sea gate.
Details
10
29 276 It was dark outside the gate.
Details
10
30 65 How thunderously had the great sea gate descended, destroying our first galley.
Details
10
31 6 The gate is raised by muscle power, abetted by two heavy, drumlike weights which partially balance its weight, transmitted to the windlass by means of metal windlass poles, or bars, these being used to rotate the windlass.
Details
10
31 7 The gate, which is heavier than the drumlike weights, has a gravity descent.
Details
10
31 8 In lowering the gate the windlass, under the control of its workers, serves primarily as a brake, sufficing to regulate the speed of its descent.
Details
10
31 31 Without these counterweights we could not have moved the sea gate.
Details
10
31 117 "Work! Work!" We had, in the last few days, many times raised and lowered the sea gate.
Details
10
31 119 Then, yesterday, the gate had been open for some four Ahn.
Details
10
31 132 We stopped, the gate lifted.
Details
10
31 134 The gate would not now slip.
Details
10
31 137 We were now in position to brake the gate, in its lowering.
Details
10
31 139 It is not easy to raise the gate.
Details
10
31 145 The windlass apparatus was within the west gate tower.
Details
10
31 147 Yesterday the gate had been open for some four Ahn.
Details
10
31 154 "The gate is soon to be closed," said the pirate.
Details
10
31 156 It takes less time to close the gate than open it, but that, too, because of the weights involved, the windlass stress and the need to control the windlass, requires a considerable effort.
Details
10
31 157 To make the gate fall with extreme swiftness, incidentally, as was done when my galley was shattered, it is necessary only to disengage one of the counterweights.
Details
10
31 161 There are two counterweights, as I have mentioned, which partially balance the weight of the gate.
Details
10
31 162 The disengagement of one is quite sufficient to permit the gate to rattle viciously downward.
Details
10
31 163 If both were disengaged the gate itself might be severely damaged.
Details
10
31 180 "Lower the gate!" we heard a man call.
Details
10
31 181 "Lower the gate!" Then, far above us, and to the right of the windlass chamber, angry, entering out onto a small balcony extending into the chamber, a balcony reached through a guardroom, we saw a pirate.
Details
10
31 190 "Hurry, you fools!" We felt the bars pulling against our arms and, slowly, with effort, as the weights ascended, permitted the descent of the gate.
Details
10
31 191 Then the gate was down.
Details
10
32 193 Too, I could see the great sea gate.
Details
10
32 200 It would be several Ehn, surely, before they could be returned to the room of the windlass and manage to raise the sea gate.
Details
10
32 307 In a few moments, walking along the parapets, we had come to the edge of the west gate tower, that which houses, in its lowest level, the chamber of the windlass.
Details
10
32 318 We were, as I had intended, in the vicinity of the sea gate.
Details
10
32 351 I gasped for breath, and then submerged, and swam underwater for the brush and trees, half sunken, which bordered the channel leading to the gate.
Details
10
32 359 It would take several Ehn, I was sure, to get the great sea gate raised.
Details
10
33 15 The great sea gate had crashed down, destroying the galley on which I had sought to enter the holding of Policrates.
