16	169	This infamous port is the home port of the famed black slavers of Schendi, a league of slavers well known for their cruel depredations on shipping, but it is also a free port, administered by black merchants, and its fine harbor and its inland markets to the north and east attract much commerce.	10

1	195	The Nyoka flows into Schendi harbor, which is the harbor of the port of Schendi, and moves thence to Thassa".	10
6	57	The Kamba, as I may have mentioned, empties directly into Thassa; the Nyoka, on the other hand, empties into Schendi harbor, which is the harbor of the port of Schendi, its waters only then moving thence to Thassa.	10
6	318	I could see ships in the harbor.	10
6	320	Ships, too, would leave the harbor with the line on their port side.	10
6	334	I could see some forty or fifty sails in the harbor.	10

20	10	These piers are the main harbor piers, between the inner harbor, that between them and the citadel landing, and the outer harbor, which leads to the river.	10
9	49	I had escaped the second time only with considerable difficulty, by taking my way over the citadel and harbor, past the chained rafts closing the harbor, and across the Vosk itself, eluding my pursuers only after a long run, under the cover of darkness.	10
20	171	I then saw four or five of the ram ships, their bows high, the rams out of the water, dripping water into the harbor, literally ride over, scraping and sliding, the rafts, and plunge into the harbor.	10
20	176	Indeed, two trains of rafts now floated untethered in the harbor, and the other two trains floated loose, fastened only at one end, each still fastened to great pilings driven into the sand near guard stations, one on each side of the harbor.	10
1	218	These structures are most common in harbor cities, near the wharves.	10
2	52	"Only what I hear," he said, "—that the Cosians have invested Ar's Station, on three sides by land, and have closed the harbor, that with a wall of chained rafts".	10
9	142	Also, it did not seem to me practical to try to enter the city during the daylight hours from the harbor side because of the besiegers.	10
9	150	In the last few weeks, too, given the fighting at the rafts, and in the harbor, predictably, river sharks, usually much farther to the west, had made their appearance.	10
10	323	The harbor was closed with ships and rafts.	10
14	102	Too, even more obviously, we could hear the sounds of the city, and not of the harbor.	10
14	119	"The women and children will already have been moved to the harbor side of the citadel," I said.	10
14	125	I fear there will be great slaughter in and about the harbor.	10

17	586	In this covered way, men passing him, from various parts of the citadel, presumably taking their way to the harbor area, on a piece of stone, broken from the inside of the way, his head in his hands, sat Aemilianus, bleeding.	10
17	601	"We are going to close the east corridor!" I heard a trumpet from somewhere toward the harbor.	10
17	735	"Would you not rather die in the sunlight," I asked, "in the fresh air, under the blue sky, the clouds, in sight of the harbor, the river?" "I would rather die in sight of the walls of Ar," he said, "that I might spit upon them".	10
18	1	The Landing "Hail, Captain!" called the young fellow with the crossbow, near the gate leading out onto the landing, from which a walkway gave access, across a stretch of harbor water, some two hundred yards in width, to the piers.	10
18	2	Beyond the piers, and beyond the wall of rafts, chained together, with which they had closed the harbor, the Cosians had their ships, five of them.	10
18	3	In the harbor, within the wall of rafts, there was the burned wreckage of several ships of Ar's Station, some burned to the waterline.	10
18	228	In their fall they not unoften took others with them, the some seventy feet or so, to the landing, the wall lower on the harbor side than the land side.	10
19	67	There was far more smoke from the citadel, which, given the prevailing winds, the force of which had much diminished since the late morning and early afternoon, drifted out over the harbor, toward the river.	10
19	75	Too, in places the harbor water suddenly muddied, the mud from the bottom rising to the surface.	10
19	93	Indeed, I was sure that many of them, with bodies, and parts of bodies, in their jaws, had sped away, toward the piers, or had gone out farther in the harbor, beyond them, or had even returned to the river, perhaps sometimes followed by several of their brethren.	10
19	102	"The harbor is closed with Cosian ships and the chain of rafts," said another.	10
19	116	"They will probably signal the other fellows, out where the harbor is closed," said a man, "so that they can attack on two sides at once".	10
19	225	The piece of broken walkway which had been to the right was now back, a few feet from the torn end of the walkway, floating in the inner harbor.	10
20	11	The outer harbor, now, of course, was blocked, a few hundred yards out, with the chain of rafts and, behind them, five ships.	10
20	13	I looked back to the walkway in the distance, across the inner harbor.	10
20	50	The ships of Cos now enter the harbor.	10
20	60	Carry me now to the side facing the inner harbor".	10
20	107	"Look off there," said a fellow, pointing toward the harbor.	10
20	151	Quickly he looked out at the mouth of the harbor.	10
20	166	Suddenly I saw the flagship, knifing through an opening in the chain of rafts, literally sheer oars from the side of the Cosian ship put about in the harbor.	10
20	168	The other three Cosian ships were trying to make a landfall at the sides of the harbor.	10
20	170	The fellows at the rafts were trying to close the chains, to close the harbor.	10
20	172	The crews of the other two Cosian ships which had been in the harbor, those not injured, and that not run aground, leapt over the sides, and, waist deep, waded to shore.	10
20	177	Out in the harbor itself the small boats and rafts of Cosians which had been approaching to attack were now hurrying to the shore, to one side or another, to take shelter near the most convenient guard station.	10
20	178	One ship after another of the newcomers then entered the harbor.	10
20	202	Men with shields leapt from them to the piers, hurrying to the sides facing the inner harbor.	10
20	238	To be sure, there must have been twenty-five ships in the outer harbor now, several of which had drawn up to the piers.	10
20	240	I went to the inner side of the pier, that facing the inner harbor.	10
20	271	The small boats, and the rafts, in the inner harbor, turned about then, and began to withdraw to the landing.	10
20	313	I did count twenty-five ships at the piers, and out in the harbor.	10
20	315	From the stem lines of fifteen of the ships, as far as I could tell, for some were out in the harbor, and blocked by others, there flew no colors at all.	10
20	318	Indeed, it had been the second ship into the harbor, and the one that had rammed the Cosian ship amidships.	10
20	354	"One Cosian ship has been destroyed in the harbor," I said, "and another has been disabled".	10
20	356	"It seems two regrettable accidents occurred in the harbor".	10
20	401	These were ferrying passengers to the ships lying at anchor in the harbor.	10
20	402	Then they themselves retained their last loads of passengers and, too, drawn away from the piers, out in the harbor, rode at anchor.	10
20	412	In orderly fashion, unchallenged, the numerous soldiers, guardsmen, armed oarsmen and such who had lined the inner side of the piers, facing the inner harbor, withdrew to the fifteen waiting ships.	10
20	420	I looked out into the harbor.	10
20	423	The eyes of the other ships out in the harbor, those which had had the task of ferrying out passengers, already faced north.	10
20	432	The ships in the outer harbor which had been facing north now, too, drew up their anchors.	10
20	433	I looked back toward the landing and the citadel in the distance, across the inner harbor.	10
20	436	I looked back to the harbor.	10
20	447	I could see the water fall from the lifted oar blades into the harbor.	10
21	34	Yesterday afternoon, shortly after we had cleared the harbor at Ar's Station, I had drawn the mask of Marsias from my features, and had shaken my head, glad to feel the air of the Vosk about me, so fresh and clear.	10
21	293	"Ten ships of Port Cos, and fifteen others," said Aemilianus, "entered the harbor of Ar's Station yesterday afternoon, shortly before what would presumably have been the last attack of Cos on the piers.	10
21	1468	Certainly they, suspended naked in their chains, would enhance his entry into the harbor at Port Cos.	10
23	250	In such a manner one might, rather as if decorating the ship in a certain way, say, with bunting and garlands, exercise more control over the impression one created in entering the harbor.	10
24	4	We looked at the tall, cylindrical structure which lay on a promontory, at the southwesternmost point of the harbor.	10
24	57	The refugees, save for some of the men, were glad enough, I think, to see the pharos, to know that the harbor of Port Cos was near.	10
24	58	This harbor meant haven and refuge for them.	10
24	67	Our ship, that of Calliodorus, the Tais, it seemed, would be the first ship into the harbor.	10
24	84	We were now, I conjectured, some three or four pasangs from the harbor.	10
24	114	We were now nearing the harbor.	10
24	154	They would escort us into the harbor.	10
24	227	We were now nearing the harbor.	10
24	289	As the bow swung about to enter the harbor I could see the piers were jammed with crowds in their holiday finery.	10
24	389	We were now within the harbor at Port Cos.	10
24	394	The flotilla, entering the harbor, with its flags and streamers, would be a splendid sight.	10
24	633	The young warrior, Marcus, was not looking toward the piers, or the town, ascending from the harbor.	10
24	634	His attentions seemed to be outward, and back, toward the entrance of the harbor.	10

36	32	One could see the harbor and, of course, beyond, gleaming Thassa, the sea.	10
39	84	Although most of them were doubtless fellows from Brundisium, citizens of that polity, there were many others about, as well, in particular, oarsmen from the galleys in the harbor, not far away, and soldiers from the camp outside the walls, mostly mercenaries, on which Cos depends heavily, but some,...	10

36	26	The stranger and I, it may be recalled, had been invited to the warehouse by Demetrion, the harbor master, and Captain Nakamura, captain of the River Dragon, now wharfed nearby.	10
36	27	I have little doubt that this invitation, though issued in the name of both the harbor master and the Pani captain, came about as a result of the captain's request.	10
36	28	Demetrion knew little more of the stranger, the Cosian, Callias of Jad, than the fact that he may have cost the harbor, or, better, its administration, a number of golden tarn disks, of double weight.	10
36	47	"The harbor office will know his residence," said the stranger.	10
36	52	* * * * Demetrion, the harbor master, had been with the captain, the stranger and myself, on the floor of the large, crowded warehouse, but Demetrion now excused himself, being anxious, one supposed, to do some looking about, and trading himself.	10
36	177	In a couple of places on a platform, there was a harbor praetor, now indoors, in the warehouse, on his curule chair, as opposed to on the docks themselves, their usual station, who might clarify the Merchant Law, interpret it, adjudicate disputes, and make rulings.	10
36	337	"What is going on here?" inquired Demetrion, harbor master of the port of Brundisium, followed by two guardsmen.	10
36	384	The body of Cineas, headless, was removed by two garbage slaves, short brawny men, kept by the harbor office.	10
36	443	"It had slipped my mind, doubtless in the press of circumstances, arranging matters with the harbor master, renting space, organizing goods, supervising trading, and such".	10
36	490	"Captain, noble captain," called Demetrion, harbor master in Brundisium, from several yards away, lifting his hand.	10
37	529	If I were the harbor master I would put them out.	10
37	657	We then left the back room, and, a bit later, Callias had exchanged one of the tiny beadlike golden tarsks for nine silver tarsks, ninety-nine copper tarsks, and a hundred tarsk-bits, at one of the changing tables maintained in the warehouse by the harbor administration, to facilitate trading.	10
37	709	Actually I did not have too much concern along these lines, as the night lamps would be lit, and, given the warehouse, the exiting Merchants, and such, there would be a number of guardsmen about, private guards, city guards, and guards in the employ of the harbor administration.	10
37	768	My domicile was reached by an external stairway, leading to a long balcony, off of which were several common-wall dwellings in a single long, elevated building, on pilings, facing the harbor.	10

27	9	I suspect, however, that the comparatively lax standards of inspection and monitoring, if such is the case, have less to do with the danger or remoteness of the district than with the surreptitious movement of silver between parties, some of whom were rumored to be high personages in the harbor auth...	10
27	12	Many are the markets of Gor, and some are supplied by contraband merchandise, of dubious origins, and evasive of taxes and harbor fees, such as rogue silver from the mines of Tharna, to be exported to Cos and Tyros, and the Farther Islands, even to the World's End; the beans from which Black Wine is...	10

32	7	It scarcely seemed a part of the harbor authority's jurisdiction.	10
63	353	Brundisium, with its great harbor, did not only command the coast, but was the nearest major port to the island Ubarates of Cos and Tyros, and, of late, to the "World's End".	10

42	204	The holding's harbor itself, and the canal beyond the harbor, was bristling with canal boats.	10
6	130	Brundisium is a major port, her mighty harbor berthing vessels from a thousand ports, vessels large and small, square-rigged and lateen-rigged, clinker built and carvel built, ships mercantile and naval, round ships and long ships, come from as far as Schendi in the south, and Torvaldsland to the no...	10
8	204	I was hooded and naked, my hands thonged behind my back, some days ago when I was assisted by him whom I took to be the leader of my abductors, his hand on my arm, down the gangplank of the ship in the harbor at Brundisium.	10
10	77	From their smocks and caps, I took them to be employees of the great arsenal, with its inner harbor, its docks, warehouses, and shipyard.	10
11	40	I was well within a pasang of the great arsenal of Port Kar, with its warehouses, shops, vast shipyard, and inner harbor.	10
24	19	It is not unusual for a ship, its voyage successful, to return through the western or southern sea gates, making its way slowly, in a stately fashion, through the canals to the arsenal harbor, with a lovely captive, the best of the catch, so displayed.	10
24	21	Otherwise, one might have recourse to the arsenal sea gate, reaching the harbor directly.	10
33	254	"The harbor is under surveillance, and each gate of the port, and even the skies are watched, for the darting, message-bearing vulo, returning to a far cot, for the majestic tarn".	10
35	41	I guessed we were then within the water walls of some holding, in some small, private harbor, presumably near a mooring and landing.	10
40	44	The motivation for my crawling forward, toward the head of the table, was that I had heard that the Alexia, one of the ships of Bosk of Port Kar, had recently anchored in the arsenal harbor, just this afternoon, from far Bazi, bearing tea, as the enterprises of Bosk of Port Kar were varied and widel...	10
42	187	In a moment they would be in the outer vestibule and making their way toward the landing of the holding's inner harbor.	10
42	202	Then we were through the opening that had held the remainder of the timbers of the outer portal and were on the landing of the holding's small harbor.	10
43	218	Too, I was sure that, by now, boats from Port Kar, and perhaps even vessels from the arsenal harbor, would have passed the Southern Gate, intent upon our apprehension.	10
46	22	In addition, a convoy of merchant ships, the grain fleet, five ships from Brundisium, guarded by three longships, were moored in the arsenal harbor.	10
46	281	Some of the patrons, at four adjoining tables, then broke into a song extolling the great harbor of Brundisium.	10

37	52	There are two harbors at the port of Sybaris, the great harbor, serving the city, and much of Thera, and the smaller harbor, the naval harbor, base of the vessels of the Fleet of the Farther Islands.	10
29	15	We were at table, a benched table, in the common room of the harbor authority of the Cove of Harpalos, kindly made available to us by the harbor master and his deputies.	10
36	142	"Contemplate harbor sharks," I suggested, "schools of small harbor sharks, like clouds in the water, clouds with teeth".	10
41	77	This overture was refused by Thrasymedes and his council, apparently on two grounds, first, their terror of the supposed Bosk of Port Kar and their awareness of the merciless depredations inflicted in his name on several villages, such as Nicosia on Chios itself, and, second, the accounts of the har...	10
45	118	The 'Harbor Room' was a storage area in one of the four warehouses nearest the harbor.	10
48	161	I had not ordered them to the harbor at Mytilene, for I feared, despite our victory, that the harbor might yet be under surveillance.	10

3	10	From the Cove of Harpalos on Thera, I might take the Tesephone to the harbor of Sybaris.	10

7	1	I Converse with Authorities; I Plead a Case for Action; The Governor's Assurance "Surely your oarsman is mistaken," said Archelaos, fingering the twin strings of his beard, governor of Thera, his palace on the ridge of Sybaris, overlooking the harbor, crowded with its hundreds of ships.	10
7	141	"What does a stranger, an insignificant merchant from Brundisium, perhaps a dealer in contraband, know of these things, of espionage and intrigue, of war at sea, of Bosk of Port Kar? Has he been cleared by the harbor authorities in Telnus? Is he authorized to trade in these waters?" "Patience, dear ...	10
8	23	"The very night we withdrew from the harbor of Sybaris," said Clitus, "an unconscionable event took place, a riot, a drunken mob, with torches, axes, and clubs, rushed blindly, meaninglessly, pointlessly, inexplicably, upon a large, well-known inn in Sybaris, looting it, tearing it to pieces, puttin...	10
8	52	It is harbored in or near the harbor of Sybaris.	10
8	53	It departs the harbor singly, one by one, and groups at sea.	10
8	54	When it has done its work, it separates into its component vessels and returns, unremarked, one by one, to the harbor.	10
8	55	And all this, if noted, at all, is doubtless ignored or concealed by the harbor authorities, authorities doubtless responsive to the governor or Admiral, or both".	10
14	8	I had set our course for the Cove of Harpalos, where resentment of Cos and a judicious gift to the harbor authorities, as before, I conjectured, would do much to give us a relatively secure anchorage.	10
17	6	She lay there before me, in the light of the single, dangling tharlarion-oil lamp, prone, helpless, trembling and disoriented, on the dark, polished, wooden floor of my room in an obscure inn, The Fat Urt, in Sybaris, near the harbor where the Tesephone was inconspicuously at anchor, crowded amongst...	10

18	133	"Mytilene," he said, "has a fine harbor".	10
18	134	"I do not intend to berth at Mytilene," I said, "not in the harbor".	10
18	186	Perhaps his presence in Mytilene was to absent himself from Thera, to open the very harbor at Sybaris to attack.	10
20	109	The ambivalent attitudes of the harbor authorities at the Cove of Harpalos were not untypical.	10
20	170	The rent canvas moved a little, responding to a soft wind, coming in from the harbor.	10
21	63	They would send a hundred-oared ship for me, decked with flowers, to bring me to the harbor of Jad.	10
22	4	He and Clitus lowered the large, inert, blanketed form, groaning and soaked with paga, to the sand beside the beached Tesephone, in our camp a pasang or so away from the harbor at Mytilene, near which the teeming streets of the fair were still lit by hundreds of torches.	10
22	70	"Seven ships, warships, each a fifty-oared ship, have come to the harbor of Mytilene," he said.	10
22	91	But in the harbor at Mytilene there are more than two hundred ships, and most will not raise their sails and depart until the closing of the fair.	10
22	94	"But," said Sakim, "what if three ships, round ships of Brundisium, splendid ships with rich cargos, leave the harbor unexpectedly early, to elude pirates.	10
22	151	"And then, the next day, seven knife ships will depart the harbor".	10
23	37	On the morning the corsair fleet, with its seven ships, was to depart the harbor at Mytilene in pursuit of the three Brundisium merchantmen, superstitious terror gripped savage crews.	10
25	3	One could see the walls and harbor of Mytilene in the distance.	10
25	4	In the harbor there were several small boats, but only a single large vessel, a ship-of-war, one of fifty oars.	10
25	18	I had dispatched the Dorna to the Cove of Harpalos, which location was to be favored because of its congenial harbor authorities, no friends of Cos; its proximity to Sybaris, the apparent headquarters of the corsairs; and its precincts having been previously, fruitlessly, searched by the corsairs.	10
25	19	I hoped that they would not return, and, should they return, it seemed their approach, as before, given the terrain, could be detected in time to clear the harbor.	10
25	22	Will it be here? If not, where is it? Did it return here after an unsuccessful pursuit of the three merchantmen of Brundisium, or go elsewhere? Is it still at sea? Might it not return here? Might not this be its new base?" "The first fleet, disguised as merchantmen, lay to in the harbor at Sybaris,"...	10
25	23	"It is one thing," I said, "for four fifty-oared ships and two thirty-oared ships to separate, assuming the appearance of innocent merchantmen, and lose themselves in the harbor at Sybaris, but it seems that seven knife ships, new and armed, might be an entirely different story".	10
25	31	"Why?" "Because," said Thurnock, "that knife ship, even now, is leaving the harbor".	10
27	157	"What is this about?" "Tomorrow," I said, "with the first tide, a round ship of Anango, fat and slow, heavy with riches, departs the harbor".	10
28	14	"As far as I know, there is no Captain Glycon and no ship, Hermione, and the corsair fleet, I would suppose, presumably disguised as merchantmen, is in the harbor at Sybaris".	10
35	20	We were conferring in the command tent, hidden high amongst the crags overlooking the harbor of the Cove of Harpalos.	10
36	20	"What good could you be to anyone? Perhaps you should be fed to harbor sharks".	10
37	53	From where we were, we could look across the harbor and see the low wall behind which several ships of the Fleet of the Farther Islands lay at anchor.	10
37	61	Interestingly, the small harbor sharks do not bother it.	10
37	63	One supposes that harbor sharks, perhaps in the far past, which did not find its appearance aversive, might have attacked it and, statistically, would have died and thus failed to replicate their genes.	10
37	64	On the other hand, those harbor sharks which, for whatever reason, found its appearance aversive, would leave it alone, and go about their business, including replicating their genes.	10
38	32	Can he really not suspect that it anchors before him in the harbor of Sybaris? Is he not a patron of the tavern of Glaukos, The Living Island? Does he not game, and suspiciously successfully, as does Archelaos, at The House of the Golden Urt? Does he not profit, as does his colleague, Archelaos, fro...	10
39	12	"I petition then," I said, "an immediate interview with he who is highest in the administration of the base, or, if need be, a lesser officer, even one of the base harbor officers".	10
39	41	"Then," said Thurnock, "we may expect seven ships, singly, over the next few days, to depart the great harbor".	10
39	48	We can clear the great harbor by noon".	10
39	93	"It seems he even controls access to the naval harbor.	10
40	21	"I did not wish to risk having them trapped in the harbor".	10
40	49	With steel and fire they might close the harbor for months".	10
40	103	"Seven ships, unidentified, flying no flags," said the guardsman, "approach the harbor".	10
41	70	On what we might call the first day of the siege, the seven ships of the corsair fleet closed the harbor at Mytilene.	10
41	71	On the same day, several hundred mercenaries, who had been landed earlier somewhere north of the harbor, moving overland, invested Mytilene.	10
41	72	On the second day, the ships in the harbor, large and small round ships, fishing boats, coasters, and sundry small vessels, were attacked, looted, and burned.	10
41	73	Surviving harbor personnel and the fleeing survivors of the attacked ships were funneled between contingents of the investing forces into Mytilene.	10
41	151	This canvas had been obtained from naval stores held in Mytilene, supplies on which the harbor would normally draw.	10
44	92	"View the harbor," I said.	10
44	97	"The seven ships of the corsairs left the harbor last night, and are now some distance offshore".	10
44	100	Thus, supplies and transport, removed from the harbor, could not be seized by the mercenaries.	10
45	113	These three areas, moving from west to east, were what we referred to as the 'Grain Room', the 'Central Room', and the 'Harbor Room'.	10
45	124	The second and third acts, though the order was unclear, were the placement of a carpet of straw and a candle in both the 'Grain Room' and the 'Harbor Room'.	10
45	146	"And little could be saved from the Grain Room and the Harbor Room".	10
48	211	"But there could be other spies," I said, "landed pasangs north and south of the harbor at Mytilene, each with a caged vulo".	10
49	88	"He would wait then, blockading the harbor," said Thurnock.	10
59	472	"And he should not be hard to find," I said, "as he has two ships in the harbor".	10
60	71	"Harbor sharks!" These are a breed of sharks which, as far as I know, are found only in the Farther Islands, small sharks, seldom more than a foot in length, but they can vary from three or four inches, a size one could hold in one's hand, to a foot and a half.	10
60	72	"I see no harbor sharks," I said.	10
60	130	I can summon the harbor guard".	10
60	152	Have you not guessed that some knowledge is less safely grasped than an ost?" "Are you sure," I asked, "that the harbor guard has been withdrawn?" "Yes," said Ctesippus.	10
60	185	"Perhaps you should call the harbor guard," I said.	10
60	253	"The tiny harbor sharks are far more dangerous," said Clitus.	10
60	260	Presumably the harbor guard would eventually make its appearance, once their prescribed absence had elapsed.	10
60	266	Harbor sharks, like their larger brethren, are very alert to certain anomalies in their environment, such as an unexpected splash or a thrashing in the water, or a trace of blood, a liquid streamer, sensed from afar.	10
60	324	"Then we feed him to the harbor sharks," said Thurnock.	10
60	331	"Then," said Thurnock, "the harbor sharks".	10
62	140	"I am pleased that we have reached this understanding," I said, "as it means that lovely Sybaris and its mighty harbor, and a thousand or more ships, will not perish in flames before nightfall".	10
62	146	"At the time," I said, "I did not realize you were a man of honor, so I arranged that if I and my companions were not back on the dock before the fourteenth Ahn, the city and harbor, the piers, ships, and all, would be set afire".	10
62	148	"Lurius of Jad would not be pleased," I said, "to learn that Archelaos, loyal and esteemed governor of Thera, was responsible for the destruction of the city, ships, and harbor".	10
62	182	"I arranged with Tab to arm and distribute the crew of the Dorna and with Sakim to arm and distribute the crew of the Tesephone in such a manner as to fire Sybaris, the harbor, and ships, if we were not back by the fourteenth Ahn.	10
62	190	"He has saved a city, a harbor, and a great many ships," said Clitus.	10
63	1	We Set Our Course for Port Kar "Captain Tab has cleared the harbor," said Thurnock.	10
63	5	The Tesephone, smaller and quicker, more responsive, than the larger Dorna, lay a pasang out, south, beyond the harbor, that she might warn the Dorna of danger and, if necessary, cover her flank.	10
63	39	"He might be able to swim back to the harbor at Sybaris".	10
63	53	I looked astern, seeing the harbor at Sybaris falling behind.	10
63	54	It was a large and beautiful harbor.	10
