35	139	"It is based," he said, "on something I heard long ago in Sybaris, when I lay in a half stupor in the tavern, The Living Island.	10
36	128	These two notables also patronize the tavern, The Living Island, managed by one of whom you have doubtless heard, Glaukos of Sybaris.	10
36	152	"Perhaps Glaukos could find a place for you amongst the paga girls of The Living Island.	10
37	193	"A living island," said Clitus.	10
37	201	"Who hires the agent?" "Ultimately Archelaos," I said, "but to distance himself from sensitive matters, one supposes such details would be handled through the tavern, The Living Island, which, as we know, is much involved in these matters".	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
41	108	"I think," I said, "it was barged to a living island, then near Sybaris, one I have thought of as the Brigand Island".	10
45	130	At that point, the stranger in the darkness, in his intended fifth act, had made his way to my quarters, where, in fury and terror, he soon realized he had spent his attack not on a living body but on rolls of bundled cloth.	10
48	147	He is not estranged from it, but is its bred and living kin.	10
48	214	"The corsairs' living island, the Brigand Island, may be about," I said, "too low to see, with cots of vulos which will home to at least the flagship of the corsair fleet".	10
50	10	It was as though the Tesephone had inadvertently struck, or had been struck by, some enormous living mountain, a mountain which could live and breathe, could lift itself and then, trembling, subside, and draw away.	10
50	11	The Tesephone, tilted, slid down the side of the living island, splashing into the water.	10
50	54	"Living islands, as sluggish as they may seem," said Sakim, "are alive and in some respects very aware and sensitive, that having to do with detecting fish, locating desirable feeding grounds, and such.	10
50	55	Too, the behavior of living islands, like that of other forms of life, those of a sufficient degree of sensitivity, is susceptible of modification, even training of a sort.	10
50	59	"The living island," said Sakim, "can detect the sound of an oar striking the water at a distance of pasangs".	10
50	80	"Those who inhabit the living islands or have their camps on them," said Sakim, "move and guide the islands, when they wish, by gentle pressures, from which the beast withdraws".	10
50	94	"We can easily outdistance a living island," said Clitus.	10
51	86	A moment before the eightieth Ihn, a gigantic snakelike form with a diameter of some ten feet burst some forty feet upward from the water like some living geyser, and, in the midst of screams and tumult, fell heavily, laterally, across the deck of the enemy ship, and wound itself, with incredible ra...	10
51	87	After the third coil the great head of the beast caught the left side of the stem deck in its fanged jaws, and bit into it, as though to fasten itself in living prey, as though the ship might be alive, and attempt to free itself, splintering planks and railings.	10
51	94	"Like the living island," I said.	10
51	153	"I know that man," I said, "he just drawn aboard! It is Ctesippus, a colleague of Glaukos, proprietor of the tavern, The Living Island, in Sybaris!" "Does it surprise you?" asked Sakim.	10
52	87	"It is done by means of a living island," said Sakim, "that island we speak of as the Brigand Island, a pathetic, enormous aquatic beast under the control of corsairs and mercenaries.	10
52	89	As a sleen, tenacious and swift, can follow scent on land, tenacious and swift, a living island can follow sounds, disturbances, stirrings, in the water, schooling fish, the wake of a passing vessel, and such.	10
53	29	"They are using the island, the living island!" cried a man.	10
53	30	"It is like land, living land, rushing upon us!" cried a helmsman.	10
53	35	I caught the scent of living, burning flesh.	10
53	41	The Dorna was between us and the onrushing behemoth, the living island.	10
53	46	The iron-shod ram, mounted in such a way as to withstand the grievous shock of tearing through reinforced planking, cut a short, sharp, linear, bloody furrow in the hide of the living island and then, as it was riding over the beast, the beast, reflexively, reared upward, like a hill of muscles, as ...	10
53	63	I mention this lest it seem surprising, or improbable, that portions of the Dorna's crew were outboard, attempting to free their ship from the shore of the living island.	10
53	216	"It is Laios, from the tavern of Glaukos, The Living Island, in Sybaris".	10
54	20	They prefer a living keleustes who can see the benches and heed the action of the oars and, consequently, adjust the beat, subtly, as necessary, to optimize the performance of the vessel, subject to actual conditions.	10
56	48	Suddenly, without warning, violently, like a massive, discharged, living quarrel, threatening the sky and clouds, the immense body of the Brigand Island hurtled upward, vertically, twisting, from the water.	10
56	49	In that terrible moment I saw what few men had seen, even those accustomed to camp upon and inhabit living islands, the monster beneath the placid surface, hundreds of tentacle-like filaments, tiny eyes, and a sharp, hooklike beak.	10
56	105	Once more, the enormous living weight of the Brigand Island exploded up from the sea and then, from some sixty to eighty yards above the surface, plunging downward, it fell athwart the retreating corsair ship, snapping it in two.	10
57	3	Following the sinking of the forward ship, or observation ship, by the maddened living island, which we commonly spoke of as the "Brigand Island," the corsair fleet was reduced to four vessels, two of which were now drawing close, one to attempt drawing alongside the port side of the Dorna, and the ...	10
58	220	She was owned by Glaukos, proprietor of the tavern, The Living Island.	10
59	81	"I have been summoned!" She did not remember me, of course, only one, and long ago, amongst the many patrons of The Living Island.	10
59	149	Thurnock, Clitus, and I, then, the slave beside me, conducted, bent over in leading position, made our way toward the door from behind which had come the sound of the gong and the voice of Glaukos, proprietor of the tavern, The Living Island.	10
59	165	Interestingly, there was no float, at least as far as we now had noted, for The Living Island, which was surely one of the better-known taverns of Sybaris.	10
59	286	I kicked open the door in the narrow, dimly lit corridor in the private precincts of the tavern, The Living Island, from behind which had come the sound of the small gong.	10
59	287	Startled, Glaukos, short and thick-bodied, thick-legged, proprietor of the The Living Island, spun about to face me.	10
59	378	"In the parade," I said, "I saw no float proclaiming the glory of Archelaos, nor did I see one representing The Living Island".	10
60	113	Two of these earlier hooded fellows were minions of Archelaos, proprietor of The Living Island, Ctesippus and Laios.	10
60	303	"Glaukos, of The Living Island, Archelaos, the governor?" said Thurnock.	10
62	22	"It is my surmise," I said, "that Glaukos, proprietor of The Living Island, was importantly involved in the recruitment, supply, and organization of the corsairs, and that it was he who engaged, or had engaged, the services of our friend, Bombastico".	10
63	67	Having been a paga girl at The Living Island in Sybaris, she well knew the nature of the paga girl and what was expected of one.	10
63	88	In the unlit, low-ceilinged hold of the Dorna, on the damp sand used as ballast, stripped, her ankles chained to parted rings, lay his slave, Sylvia, former dancer at The Living Island.	10
63	172	"Surely you see the hideous irony here," I said, "a piteous fugitive, widely sought for torture and impalement, living in terror, fearing each small, unexpected sound, each unfamiliar step, for months, and then, suddenly, she is given hope, senses the bright beacon of refuge, is promised asylum, pro...	10
