23	16	"And let us drink to that!" He lifted his goblet and we clinked our goblets together, and I reached across, before Policrates, extending my goblet, too, to Kliomenes, who, surlily, sat on the right of Policrates.	10
28	98	Later, of course, she had been captured by Kliomenes, the lieutenant to Policrates, the pirate, and taken to the stronghold of Policrates.	10
30	1	I am Interrogated in the Hall of Policrates; A Girl is to be Whipped; I am Taken to the Chamber of the Windlass "Taunt him," said Policrates.	10
31	177	Surely if Policrates had been in the holding he would have threatened me with his name and not that of Kliomenes, since I had expressly mentioned Policrates and he stood higher in the holding than Kliomenes.	10
4	87	"Kliomenes, a lieutenant to Policrates," he said.	10
6	53	His name, and that of his captain, Policrates, were apparently feared on the river.	10
7	137	"He is a lieutenant to Policrates".	10
8	156	Who is he?" "He is Kliomenes, the pirate, lieutenant to Policrates," said Tasdron.	10
8	157	"And the other," I asked, "he who was standing by the table, speaking to the man who saved me?" "His captain," said Tasdron, "Policrates himself".	10
13	61	"If the topaz should reach the stronghold of Policrates," she said, "the way would be clear for the uniting of the raider forces of both the east and west".	10
13	62	"It has perhaps already reached the stronghold of Policrates," I said.	10
13	66	"What hope, then, have those who would wish to keep the topaz from reaching Policrates?" "The hope is to apprehend the courier before he can reach the citadel," I said.	10
15	143	It is important that it not reach Policrates.	10
21	89	"The stronghold of Policrates is impregnable," she said.	10
21	137	* * * * "The stronghold of Policrates is impregnable," she said.	10
21	174	"The men of Victoria," I said, "seem adamant in refusing to pay the tribute to Policrates".	10
22	30	"If she is beautiful," said a man near us, "perhaps she will be kept to serve in the stronghold of Policrates.	10
22	179	"Policrates owns Victoria," said another.	10
22	226	"At the wharves," I said, "there were pirates, few more than half a hundred of such men, under the command of Kliomenes, lieutenant to Policrates".	10
22	231	"And would you then," I asked, "willingly deliver them, prizes more fittingly yours, into the hands of such men as Kliomenes and Policrates.	10
22	235	"You are, then, so fond of Kliomenes and Policrates that you are willing, graciously, to surrender to them the women and other treasures of this town".	10
22	264	"Indeed it was I who once drove the band of Policrates from the vicinity of Port Cos".	10
22	287	"Policrates could have killed me in the tavern," he said.	10
22	295	"A plan, a rallying point, a flag of memory, a leader, an assault upon the stronghold of Policrates".	10
22	297	"It would take a hundred siege ships, and ten thousand men to take the stronghold of Policrates," he said.	10
22	300	For all practical purposes, considering the forces that could realistically be marshaled upon the river the stronghold of Policrates was impregnable.	10
22	305	"Tomorrow," I said, "the tribute is to be paid to Policrates".	10
23	1	I am Made Welcome in the Holding of Policrates; Kliomenes Makes Test of Me; I Select a Girl for my Night's Pleasure The naked slave girl, in her bells and jewels, writhed on the scarlet tiles of the floor before us.	10
23	2	Policrates, sitting beside me, behind the broad, low table, musingly fitted together the two pieces of yellowish, brown stone, the two halves of the once-shattered topaz.	10
23	5	"Fascinating," said Policrates.	10
23	7	"I am well," said Policrates, "and you may, upon your return, assure him that I am eager to participate in our common venture".	10
23	9	"Excellent," said Policrates.	10
23	13	"It is amusing," said Policrates, "that the tension between Cos and Ar prevents the linkage of their powers upon the river".	10
23	15	"True," laughed Policrates.	10
23	48	"I had expected the topaz to be delivered earlier," said Policrates.	10
23	56	"It is common, Kliomenes," said Policrates, "for the courier, he carrying the topaz, to cover his features in foreign holdings.	10
23	60	"But you are not," said Policrates, "for Ragnar, a shrewd fellow, would not venture upon such dangerous work as the personal transport of the topaz".	10
23	65	"You see, Kliomenes," said Policrates, "our friend may be well known upon the river.	10
23	69	"And I think we may be certain," said Policrates, "that our friend is indeed well known in at least one town on the river".	10
23	72	The music ended with a swirl of sound and the girl, with a jangle of bells, lay before the table of Policrates, whimpering, her hand extended.	10
23	78	Policrates glanced at her.	10
23	81	Policrates gestured to a brawny fellow who, coming up behind the girl, bent down and, by her upper arms, lifted her from the floor.	10
23	84	Policrates gestured again, to a table to the side, and the fellow, carrying the girl, went to the table.	10
23	92	"There is a resemblance," said Policrates.	10
23	96	I looked, unconcernedly, at Policrates.	10
23	99	What could be the point?" "These things seem to me true," said Policrates, "but, as Kliomenes has said, there seems a resemblance".	10
23	101	"Will it hurt to make test of the matter?" inquired Policrates.	10
23	106	"Draw," smiled Policrates.	10
23	129	"Obviously this man cannot be Jason of Victoria," smiled Policrates.	10
23	143	"Kliomenes," observed Policrates, "you seem weary".	10
23	145	"And what is your opinion?" asked Policrates.	10
23	147	"I thought so, too," said Policrates, smiling.	10
23	156	"That is clearly understood," smiled Policrates.	10
23	182	"Surely you must understand," said Policrates, "that his identity must remain concealed".	10
23	183	Policrates gestured about himself, to the tables.	10
23	186	"Of course," said Policrates.	10
23	201	The classical question in this respect, almost universal on Gor, is "Wine, Master?" "Do you think, truly," asked Policrates, "that the fleet of Ragnar Voskjard, fully rigged and fitted, can be here in twenty days?" "I see no difficulty in the matter," I assured him.	10
23	236	"I see that she pleases you," said Policrates.	10
23	247	"She fears you," said Policrates, "for she knows you are the courier of Ragnar Voskjard.	10
23	257	"She is a new slave," said Policrates, "and is not yet fully broken to her collar".	10
23	261	"She is exquisite, isn't she?" asked Policrates.	10
23	270	"She fears that you will find her pleasing," said Policrates, "but yet, I think, desires that you will".	10
23	273	Policrates regarded her.	10
23	280	"You are dismissed," said Policrates.	10
23	285	"What do you call her?" "Beverly," said Policrates.	10
23	301	"She herself," said Policrates, "repudiated the assistance of a fellow desiring to extricate her from her peril, mocking and dismissing him, one called Jason, of Victoria, he to whom you bear some physical resemblance".	10
23	319	Then the brute looked to Policrates, who indicated a table.	10
23	323	"The feast has but begun," laughed Policrates.	10
23	329	"Policrates is generous," I said.	10
23	340	"Tais is interesting," said Policrates.	10
23	387	"My thanks, Policrates," I said.	10
23	392	"My thanks, Policrates," I said.	10
23	394	I then bowed graciously to my host, Policrates, and to Kliomenes, his lieutenant and confederate, and then turned about, and made my way to my chambers.	10
24	175	If she were not sent forth in the morning, perhaps bruised and sobbing, as a well-ravished slave, the men of the holding of Policrates, and its master himself, would grow thoughtful.	10
24	226	Whereas the frightened, deferential slave had not recognized me sitting regally with Policrates and Kliomenes in the feasting hall, in the robes and mask of the courier of Ragnar Voskjard, I did not doubt but what she might quickly recognize my voice.	10
24	433	Eventually I came into the possession of the holding of Policrates, wherein you find me.	10
24	556	It, like her, belonged to Policrates.	10
24	559	I did not dry her beyond those things, however, what was necessary to protect the collar and steel of Policrates.	10
24	739	Policrates, my master, would give me to you, if you should but ask!" I picked up my things at the door.	10
24	744	I must soon leave the holding of Policrates, theoretically to journey downriver to the holding of Ragnar Voskjard, that his fleet might be soon launched, that the two fleets, in fierce force, might overwhelm the garrisons of Ar's Station, and then of Port Cos, that the river, for hundreds of pasangs...	10
24	766	"Policrates," he said, "told me that if you were troublesome you were to be fed to sleen".	10
24	783	"Policrates will be pleased," he said.	10
24	802	"Policrates," she said.	10
25	32	"If men such as Kliomenes or Policrates should understand that we are met on such subjects, my tavern, at the least, would be speedily reduced to ashes".	10
25	162	"How can we contact this Aemilianus, and bring him to this meeting, without attracting the attention of the spies of Policrates?" "We have no choice, I think," said Tasdron, "but to contact him directly and take what risks are unavoidable".	10
27	44	I had learned in the stronghold of Policrates, the pirate, that the beautiful Miss Henderson was, in her heart, a slave among slaves.	10
27	73	He surely need not know I had delivered it, in accord with a plan, to Policrates myself.	10
27	112	I had also, of course, removed it later from that place when I had carried it to the holding of Policrates.	10
28	100	Indeed, in my visit to the stronghold of Policrates, she had served me, and well, as a slave, though not knowing it was I whom she served.	10
29	1	The Sea Gate; I am Again within the Holding of Policrates "Had we the support of others, in fuller extent, we could carry this project through," said Callimachus.	10
29	3	The deck of the low river galley shifted beneath our feet, as the ship nosed through the inlet waters toward the secluded stronghold of Policrates.	10
29	10	It had been my plan to gather sufficient ships, primarily from Port Cos and Ar's Station, to simulate the fleet of Ragnar Voskjard, who would be expected by Policrates.	10
29	11	It would have seemed simple enough, then, to have brought enough men into the stronghold, posing as the men of Ragnar Voskjard, to take Policrates by surprise.	10
29	12	He himself had never met Ragnar Voskjard, nor had Voskjard met Policrates.	10
29	21	I could see the high, dark walls of the stronghold of Policrates in the distance, with its lofty sea gate, with its heavy latticework of iron.	10
29	22	"The fleet of Ragnar Voskjard," had said Callisthenes, "can never join with the fleet of Policrates.	10
29	24	"Why, then," had asked Glyco, "are you so concerned that the topaz never reach Policrates".	10
29	72	"To have actually delivered the topaz to Policrates," he said, "was little short of an act of idiocy".	10
29	74	"You have heard my plan," I said, "that we muster ships and, under the cover of darkness, posing as the fleet of Ragnar Voskjard, enter and take the stronghold of Policrates".	10
29	96	"There is a girl, a slave, I want in the stronghold of Policrates," I said.	10
29	153	It was doubtless brought as a pledge of Ragnar Voskjard to Policrates.	10
29	154	It signifies, in effect, the agreement of Ragnar Voskjard to join forces with Policrates.	10
29	159	"Policrates is expecting their arrival," I said.	10
29	165	"But what of the stronghold of Policrates?" I asked.	10
29	209	* * * * We were now beneath the high, dark walls of the stronghold of Policrates.	10
29	235	"Hopefully most of the ships and men of Policrates are abroad".	10
30	4	My hair was still wet from the dark waters of the lakelike courtyard of the holding of Policrates.	10
30	8	Policrates, indolent in the chair, lifted a finger and another girl, one whom I recalled was called Tais, from the feast, dark-haired, nude, knelt beside me and began to kiss and lick at my right foot and leg.	10
30	9	"For whom are you an operative?" inquired Policrates.	10
30	11	Again Policrates signaled and this time Lita, who had once been a free woman of Victoria, pausing only to discard the bit of silk she wore on the marble steps, hurried to kneel beside me.	10
30	28	"You are Jason, of Victoria, are you not?" inquired Policrates.	10
30	30	Kliomenes stood beside the curule chair of Policrates.	10
30	32	Four or five of Policrates' cutthroats stood about, with their arms folded.	10
30	33	About the curule chair of Policrates, nestling about his feet, and on the stairs about the chair, were several of his girls.	10
30	39	Men such as Policrates are rich in women, as well as in gold.	10
30	40	"You are involved in the conspiracy of Tasdron, taverner of Victoria, who is in league with Glyco, of Port Cos," said Policrates.	10
30	42	"We will deal with those fools soon," said Policrates.	10
30	46	"And what of the beacon that was to be set," asked Policrates, "and of the ships waiting fruitlessly now upon the river?" I was silent.	10
30	47	Policrates obviously knew much.	10
30	48	"Relia, Tela, to him," said Policrates.	10
30	52	"Did you truly think to gain access to our stronghold with so simple a ruse?" asked Policrates.	10
30	56	"It was the plan of a fool," said Policrates.	10
30	58	"How did you know that we were not the scout ships of Ragnar Voskjard?" We had, after all, known the signs and countersigns, and, presumably, those of the holding of Policrates would not be familiar with all of the men or ships of Ragnar Voskjard.	10
30	59	"Would not it have been clear to anyone?" smiled Policrates.	10
30	61	"It would not have been necessary, of course," smiled Policrates, "but, to be sure, you were betrayed".	10
30	63	"Certainly," said Policrates.	10
30	67	"Perhaps Tasdron himself," said Policrates, "perhaps even Glyco, posing as of your party.	10
30	71	'To be sure," agreed Policrates.	10
30	90	"Was it you, Jason, he of Victoria," inquired Policrates, "whom we previously entertained in our holding as the courier of Ragnar Voskjard?" "Of course," I said, angrily.	10
30	95	"I do not think so, Jason," said Policrates, "though, to be sure, you wore tonight the same mask as he who posed as the courier".	10
30	97	"Do you maintain this mockery?" asked Policrates.	10
30	98	"Can you not recognize my frame," I asked, "my voice?" "There are surely strong similarities," mused Policrates.	10
30	100	"You would have been chosen precisely for these similarities," said Policrates.	10
30	102	"Did your informant not make it clear to you that I it was who brought you the topaz?" "The topaz," said Policrates, "was delivered to us by the courier of Ragnar Voskjard".	10
30	104	"The true courier," said Policrates.	10
30	106	"What have you done with him?" inquired Policrates.	10
30	108	"I trust that you have not slain him," said Policrates, "for doubtless Ragnar Voskjard would not be pleased to hear that".	10
30	111	"You intercepted the courier, somehow, on his way back to Ragnar Voskjard," said Policrates.	10
30	114	"That is false," said Policrates.	10
30	118	Why would he not call off his slaves! Two of the men of Policrates laughed.	10
30	119	"Bikkie, to him," said Policrates.	10
30	125	I did not cry out to Policrates for mercy.	10
30	140	"Do you still insist that it was you who entered my holding, posing as the courier of Ragnar Voskjard?" inquired Policrates.	10
30	142	"Yes!" "We know that that is not true," said Policrates.	10
30	145	"There are many reasons," said Policrates.	10
30	148	"We know that from Beverly, a slave in this holding," said Policrates.	10
30	150	"Impossible," said Policrates.	10
30	152	It angered me that Policrates and Kliomenes, and the others, could not even accept this possibility.	10
30	166	"We have information," said Policrates, "that it was the true courier of Ragnar Voskjard who came to the holding, independently of the evidence that it was he who gave us the topaz, which stone presumably could have been only in the possession of the true courier".	10
30	168	"Which, further," said Policrates, "has assured us that the true courier was captured, and is now being held by those in league with Tasdron and Glyco".	10
30	171	And it must have been he, or one in league with him, who had communicated with Policrates.	10
30	178	Policrates smiled.	10
30	181	"Do you still maintain the pretense of having posed as the courier of Ragnar Voskjard?" inquired Policrates.	10
30	185	"Beware," said Policrates, "there are tortures in this holding to which you might be subjected other than the caresses of slave girls—the twisting of chains, of burning irons, of knives".	10
30	187	"Make the fool writhe," said Policrates.	10
30	189	"Beverly!" called Policrates, sharply.	10
30	192	She ran immediately to the tiles before the dais on which reposed the large, curule chair of Policrates.	10
30	196	"Rise, and turn about, Slave, and regard a prisoner," said Policrates.	10
30	200	They would resume their ministrations upon the indication of Policrates.	10
30	202	"Do you know him?" asked Policrates.	10
30	206	Policrates lifted a finger and the girls about me again began to fondle, and to kiss and caress at my body.	10
30	208	"How do you regard the men of Earth?" Policrates asked her.	10
30	210	"To whom do you belong?" asked Policrates.	10
30	213	"Could you ever yield to one such as he?" asked Policrates.	10
30	230	"This fellow claims to have impersonated the courier of Ragnar Voskjard, and to have deceived us all," said Policrates to the girl.	10
30	233	"You were given to the courier of Ragnar Voskjard for the night, were you not?" asked Policrates.	10
30	237	"Did he make you yield?" inquired Policrates.	10
30	240	"Did you find the evening instructive?" inquired Policrates.	10
30	243	"And?" inquired Policrates.	10
30	245	"Was this the man who used you," asked Policrates, "this man chained here before you?" "Of course not, Master!" she said, lifting her head, scandalized.	10
30	246	"Are you certain?" asked Policrates.	10
30	250	"Are you sure?" asked Policrates.	10
30	253	"I thought so," smiled Policrates.	10
30	257	"Remove your silk, Slave," said Policrates.	10
30	259	"To him, Slave," said Policrates.	10
30	261	Policrates regarded her.	10
30	265	I gritted my teeth, but how could I resist them? "Describe to me, if you were truly one who posed as the courier of Ragnar Voskjard, the nature and furnishings of the chambers in which he reposed the night in which we guested him within the holding," said Policrates.	10
30	269	Policrates and Kliomenes laughed.	10
30	292	I had learned on Gor, in the secrecy of a chamber in the holding of Policrates, when posing as the courier of Ragnar Voskjard, that she was a true slave.	10
30	299	I determined that she would one day wear my collar, that one day it would not be Policrates, but I, who would own her.	10
30	302	"Take him, and chain him to the windlass," said Policrates.	10
30	319	Policrates was talking with Kliomenes.	10
30	381	"He did not try to buy me, nor did he ask Policrates to give me to him," said Beverly.	10
30	387	"I will take our fleet east on the river," said Policrates to Kliomenes.	10
30	390	Policrates then turned about and regarded me.	10
30	393	"Oh, Beverly," said Policrates.	10
30	400	"Have her whipped," said Policrates.	10
30	403	I was pleased to see that Policrates was a strict master.	10
30	406	How can a girl expect such laxities to go unnoticed, or unpunished? Policrates then nodded to the men who held me.	10
31	51	There were no pretty slave girls in the chamber of the windlass, as Policrates had told me.	10
31	120	I speculated that the fleet of Policrates was now abroad.	10
31	140	Outside I supposed that one or more ships, river galleys, might be gracefully entering or leaving the lakelike courtyard of the holding of Policrates.	10
31	149	Too, it seemed likely to me that Policrates would have accompanied the fleet.	10
31	170	"I fooled Policrates himself," I mentioned to the fellow next to me, "when I brought the topaz to him.	10
31	176	But I had also gathered from his remark that my conjecture that Policrates was not now in the holding was correct.	10
32	1	My Plan is Successful; I Take my Leave from the Holding of Policrates "Let them be whipped," said Kliomenes, "both of them".	10
32	2	Kliomenes reclined in the curule chair of Policrates, holding his court.	10
32	4	They had failed to sufficiently please Jandar, one of the minor captains in the holding of Policrates.	10
32	113	Kliomenes smiled, addressed as Captain, though within the holding of Policrates.	10
32	135	"He maintains," said the pirate who had conducted me to the room, he normally in charge of the crews of the windlass, "that he deceived both you and Policrates, and us all, by posing as the courier of Ragnar Voskjard".	10
32	148	There were perhaps others present who would not have minded usurping his lieutenancy to Policrates.	10
32	156	"Wait for Policrates," said the man.	10
32	158	"In the absence of Policrates," said Kliomenes, "I am first in the holding".	10
32	174	He had not won his way to the lieutenancy of Policrates by being stupid.	10
32	313	I had seen only such bows in the holding of Policrates.	10
33	15	The great sea gate had crashed down, destroying the galley on which I had sought to enter the holding of Policrates.	10
33	34	Indeed, he is the leader in Victoria of those who would oppose the power of the men of Policrates".	10
33	46	Too, the fleet of Policrates is now east of Victoria, to prevent such ships from reinforcing us.	10
33	84	"It has already paid call on Kliomenes, in the holding of Policrates".	10
33	89	More importantly, she would doubtless be carrying papers linking her with Policrates, such papers as the signs and countersigns whereby the actions of the joint pirate fleets might be integrated and directed".	10
33	163	"It is conjectured," said Callimachus, "that the Voskjard is stronger than Policrates.	10
33	165	We have better information on Policrates.	10

5	87	"She is the ship which, in the Vosk, east of the chain, with the Telia, captained by Sirnak, of the men of Policrates, took the Flower of Siba!" These things I had learned while held captive in the holding of Policrates.	10
13	1	Callimachus and I are Passengers Aboard the Flagship of Policrates; Policrates will Venture to Victoria My arms were taken far behind me.	10
14	57	"And I am Policrates," said Policrates.	10
18	504	"Either, as at the feast of Policrates, or now, you have been masked, or, in your chambers, in the holding of Policrates, when you forced me to so thoroughly and intimately serve you, I must do so in the darkness of the blindfold.	10
2	191	"If the Voskjard should join with Policrates," said another man, "and the forces of Port Cos and Ar's Station are divided, no town on the river will be safe".	10
2	220	"Would you surrender the river to men such as Policrates and Ragnar Voskjard?" I asked.	10
8	132	"This ship," I said, "in league with the Telia, captained by Sirnak, of the holding of Policrates, took recently upon the river a merchantman, the Flower of Siba".	10
8	133	I had learned this in the court of Kliomenes, in the holding of Policrates.	10
8	148	"Has Reginald boarded the flagship of Ragnar Voskjard since the return from the holding of Policrates?" I asked.	10
8	154	"When Reginald returned from the holding of Policrates, doubtless you met him, either on deck, or in the cabin, as a naked, kneeling slave, licking and kissing at his sea boots, begging to serve him".	10
10	14	Our three ships made their way unhurriedly through the channel leading to the holding of Policrates.	10
10	34	I saw answering flags run up on the walls of the holding of Policrates.	10
10	40	When freed on the Tina he had first expressed his desire to be put ashore, when possible, to make his way to Turmus, but, upon learning that a certain slave, one called Florence, was confined within the high walls of the holding of Policrates he had begged instead to be granted a place on a bench an...	10
10	43	I did not think that even Sirnak, who was a captain of Policrates, he who, with Reginald, had waylaid the Flower of Siba, should he still be in the holding, would be likely to be able to identify him, to detect in the bearded ruffian on the stem castle of the Tuka the former refugee landowner from V...	10
10	72	By the time such a force might be raised in the river towns, of course, the fleet of the Voskjard would have reached the holding of Policrates, reinforced it, and participated in the development of new security arrangements.	10
10	82	While vessels followed our putative course, and the balance of the pirate fleet, regrouping and repairing injuries, waited upon their return, we sped, in alternating shifts, day and night, toward the holding of Policrates.	10
10	213	The fleet of Policrates, as I knew, some forty ships, was abroad, to prevent reinforcements from the eastern towns, should they appear, from proceeding westward to assist at the defense of the chain.	10
10	222	We would not raise over the holding of Policrates the flags of Port Cos, or of Victoria, or of Ar's Station.	10
12	1	We Bid Welcome to the Voskjard's Fleet; The Courier of Ragnar Voskjard; The Fleet of Policrates "There must be fifty ships in the channel," said Callimachus, snapping shut the glass of the Builders.	10
12	77	He had conducted business in the holding before, with Policrates and Kliomenes.	10
12	204	"He is journeying east on the river, in his black ship, Spined Tharlarion, to rendezvous with Policrates here, and then to take command of their joint forces in the control of the river".	10
12	227	"The fleet of Policrates!" we heard, from the height of the wall.	10
12	228	"The fleet of Policrates is at the mouth of the channel!" "Bring our forces, and their prisoners, within the holding!" called Callimachus.	10
12	229	"Policrates cannot retake the holding," I said.	10
12	231	There was no possibility of our tricking Policrates, of course, as we had Alcibron and Reginald, and the others.	10
12	234	Callimachus and I, on the wall, regarded the fleet of Policrates at the mouth of the channel.	10
12	237	"We have nothing to fear from Policrates," I said.	10
12	238	"You do not know Policrates," he said.	10
13	3	"Secure him well," said Policrates.	10
13	4	I winced, my back arched over the port shearing blade of Policrates' flagship.	10
13	9	Lying as I was, bound upon the blade, looking to my right, I could see the port rail of Policrates' flagship.	10
13	14	The ultimatum of Policrates had been clear.	10
13	18	"Put about!" I heard Policrates call to his helmsmen.	10
13	22	There, at the rail, stood Policrates.	10
14	1	Ragnar Voskjard Meets Policrates; Ragnar Voskjard Learns that He is not First on the River Bound over the great, curved shearing blade I could see little but the sky.	10
14	6	He had come from the west on the river to rendezvous with his fleet and the ships of Policrates.	10
14	7	The rendezvous was supposedly to have taken place, we had learned from Callisthenes, at the holding of Policrates.	10
14	9	"You are Policrates?" I heard call.	10
14	10	"I am," answered Policrates.	10
14	12	"He is Policrates".	10
14	21	"Ask the Vosk, and your captains, the sorry lot of them," responded Policrates.	10
14	23	"Be tested or not, as it pleases you," said Policrates.	10
14	25	"I did my part," said Policrates.	10
14	28	"Men knew war against me would be fruitless," said Policrates.	10
14	31	"I was not there," said Policrates.	10
14	35	"So, too, then are yours, who entered the holding like verr trotting into a pen," said Policrates.	10
14	42	"Two who were involved in this miserable business," said Policrates, "surmount now, as stripped and helpless prisoners, the shearing blades of my vessel".	10
14	47	"They are my prisoners," said Policrates.	10
14	50	I saw that Policrates wanted Callimachus and myself for himself.	10
14	55	"I am first upon the river," said Policrates.	10
14	59	"You retain, at most, no more than twenty ships," said Policrates.	10
14	62	"The pledge of the topaz!" "I have revised the provisions of that agreement, my dear Captain," said Policrates.	10
14	64	"By the right of forty ships," said Policrates.	10
14	66	"Do so, should it please you," said Policrates.	10
14	68	"There is more than enough for all of us in Victoria," said Policrates.	10
14	70	"I am first upon the river," said Policrates.	10
14	73	"Then I am first upon the river," said Policrates.	10
15	4	"It is as I had anticipated," said Policrates, beside him.	10
15	12	"They fear even to do that," said Policrates.	10
15	16	"Do not struggle," said Policrates.	10
15	22	I winced, feeling the point of Policrates' blade enter a bit more deeply into my side.	10
15	26	"That is better," said Policrates.	10
15	29	"Unfortunately we did not meet resistance," said Policrates.	10
15	34	"That should be interesting," said Policrates.	10
15	45	Policrates is not pleased with them.	10
15	49	"Let us join Policrates," said Kliomenes.	10
16	1	The Longboat "Have you a taste, Lads," called Policrates, "for precious wines and delicate viands?" "That we have, Captain," called a man.	10
16	3	"Have you a taste for more gold and silver, and jewels, than you know what to do with?" called Policrates.	10
16	5	"Have you a taste for luscious slaves, to train with whips to your pleasure?" demanded Policrates.	10
16	9	"Then, Lads," cried Policrates, "take Victoria! She is yours!" Then, at that very instant from atop the frame building housing the office of the wharf master the alarm bar began to ring.	10
16	18	"Fight!" I heard Policrates scream.	10
16	33	"On for Victoria!" "Fight! Stand! Fight!" screamed Policrates.	10
16	41	"Stand, fight!" I heard Policrates screaming.	10
16	45	Then a dozen more! "Withdraw!" shouted Policrates.	10
16	52	I felt the flagship of Policrates shift in the water.	10
16	56	Policrates himself ran past me, and Kliomenes and Callisthenes.	10
16	58	"Poles!" shouted Policrates.	10
16	71	"Do not encumber the oars!" cried Policrates.	10
16	79	"Well done!" "We shall return!" screamed Policrates to the wharves.	10
16	81	"Get that fool out of the way!" screamed Policrates.	10
16	85	"Back oars!" screamed Policrates.	10
16	97	The flagship of Policrates seemed jammed among the ships, each trying to escape.	10
16	99	"Well done!" "Get those fools out of the way!" Policrates was screaming.	10
16	100	The flagship of Policrates moved backward a dozen feet or so, and then again, striking against another ship, or the same, came again to a stop.	10
16	125	Then the flagship of Policrates, responding to another impact, lurched to starboard, and, terrified, I slipped back down the blade.	10
16	192	The flagship of Policrates was now, unimpeded, backing into open water.	10
16	204	The flagship of Policrates was now swinging about.	10
16	219	Policrates was crying out orders on the height of the stem castle above me.	10
16	233	The flagship of Policrates rocked, struck by another pirate ship, it lurching to port.	10
16	243	Policrates and the Voskjard are finished!" "Get me a sword!" said Callimachus.	10
16	251	"Back oars!" screamed Policrates, on the stem castle.	10
16	258	It was then that Policrates saw him.	10
16	261	Policrates and Callisthenes drew their swords.	10
16	265	Policrates and Callisthenes, white-faced, regarded him.	10
16	286	Scarcely had I ascended the heavy planking than, approaching rapidly, bearing down on me, I saw a medium galley, thrusting itself between the flagship of Policrates and Spined Tharlarion, the flagship of Ragnar Voskjard.	10
16	391	In a moment I had my hand on the short leash I had devised for his throat and, he on his back, helpless, my prisoner, was towing him toward the flagship of Policrates.	10
16	393	The Voskjard grunted, and half choked, as I hauled him, partly by the neck leash, partly by his arm, over the rail of the flagship of Policrates.	10
16	395	The flagship of Policrates seemed deserted.	10
16	421	"Where are Policrates and Callisthenes?" I asked.	10
16	503	At that moment the deck of the flagship of Policrates gave a lurch in the water.	10
16	536	"Policrates was kind enough to give me his," said Callimachus, gesturing to the floor of the longboat, near the bow.	10
16	538	There, lying together, stripped, bloody and trussed, were Policrates and Callisthenes.	10
16	542	I did not envy Policrates or Callisthenes, nor Kliomenes, nor Ragnar Voskjard.	10
16	546	I slipped over the rail of the flagship of Policrates, and entered the longboat.	10
16	557	Looking aft I saw the flagship of Policrates subside beneath the surface of the river.	10
17	141	And it had surely been made manifest to me incontrovertibly in the holding of Policrates, when she had thought me to be the courier of Ragnar Voskjard.	10
17	647	I was apportioned to him in the division of the spoils taken from the holding of Policrates".	10
17	730	She belonged now to Miles of Vonda, who had helped us in our work with the pirates, part of the spoils, as many other slave girls, taken from the holding of Policrates.	10
17	820	"I was once given for the night in the holding of Policrates to he whom we, at that time, thought to be the courier of Ragnar Voskjard," she whispered.	10
17	855	"This fellow in the holding of Policrates," I said.	10
17	871	"In the feasting hall of Policrates he wore a mask.	10
18	149	I wore a mask identical to that which I had worn when I had first gained admittance to the holding of Policrates, when I had, long ago, pretended to be an agent of Ragnar Voskjard, he who was the bearer of the topaz.	10
18	164	Two men, it seemed, she loved, he whom she had served in the holding of Policrates, he who had treated her with the insolence commonly accorded an Earth-girl slave by Gorean masters, and he whom she had served on the stones of the Street of the Writhing Slave, he who had treated her as a full and lo...	10
18	196	"You won my heart in the holding of Policrates," she said.	10
18	211	"She has loved you ever since that night in the holding of Policrates.	10
18	284	"I know well the power of your desire, and the strength of your arms, from the holding of Policrates.	10
18	631	I fell in there with one called Kliomenes, who was a lieutenant to the pirate Policrates.	10
18	640	I was taken to the holding of Policrates.	10
18	643	"When the holding of Policrates fell his goods were divided among the victors.	10
19	31	Too, I now owned this house, having purchased it with a few gold pieces, a small portion of my share of the spoils, taken from the holding of Policrates.	10
20	339	"The citadels of Policrates and Ragnar Voskjard have been burned, I heard," I said.	10
20	370	Policrates, Kliomenes and Callisthenes, and such men, branded and collared, would soon be owned slaves, laboring for masters.	10
20	388	"And I gave him portions of my share of the spoils, from the holding of Policrates".	10
20	1415	"From weeping girls in pens, and in kennels, in the holding of Policrates!" she said.	10
20	1461	"After being used by the courier of Ragnar Voskjard," she smiled, "in the holding of Policrates".	10
