.I resolved to put my mistress from my mind, and live for the moment, for thejoy, the men, the ship and the sea.Near the stern of the ship men who had been trolling a line now began,sweatily, bracing themselves, to draw it in.It pulled back, away from them,powerfully.I ran to the stern that I might watch.Half out of the water, then returningto it, I saw a great speckled grunt, four-gilled.It dove, and swirled away.Another man came to help with the line.Iobserved the struggle.One often fishes from the ships on Thassa, and the dietof the sailors consists, in part, of the catch.Part of each catch is commonlysaved, to serve as bait for the next.I cried out with fear.One of the men shouted with anger.Rising from underthe grunt swiftly was a long-bodied shark, white, nine-gilled.It tore thegrunt from the line and bore it away.Other dorsal fins, of smaller sharks,trailed it, waiting.Sharks, and sometimes marine saurians, sometimes trailthe ships, to secure discarded garbage and rob the lines of the fishermen.Theconvoy, by its size, had doubtless attracted many such monsters.I had seen,yesterday, the long neck of a marine saurian lift from the waters of gleamingThassa, It had a small head, and rows of small teeth.Its appendages were likebroad paddles.Then it had lowered its head and disappeared.Such beasts, in spite of their frightening appearance, are apparently harmlessto men.They can take only bits of garbage and small fish.Certain relatedspecies thrive on crustaceans found among aquatic flora.Further, such beastsare rare.Some sailors, reportedly, have never seen one.Far more common, and dangerous, are certain fishlike marine saurians, withlong, toothed snouts;Page 243ABC Amber Palm Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abcpalm.htmlthey are silent and aggressive, and sailors fear them as they do thelong-bodied sharks.The sea sleen, vicious, fanged aquatic mammals, apparentlyrelated to the land forms of sleen, are the swiftest predators to be found inThassa; further, they are generally conceded to be the most dangerous; theytend, however, to frequent northern waters.Occasionally they have been foundas far south, however, as the shores of Cos and the deep inlets of Tyros.I walked back toward the bow of the ship.I reached into a wooden bucket and took a tospit, bit it open and began tosuck at the juice.No one stopped me.Although the cargo officer, my first day on board, had warned me that I wouldnot be treated easily, he had not been as good as his word.I was permittedthe freedom of the ship.I was not even chained at night.The men were fond ofme, and they treated me well, with the rough comraderie and friendship that issometimes accorded an owned girl, one who is common to all, and must obey all.For all the restraints placed upon me I might have been a free woman, savethat the distinction between us, apart from my tunic and collar, would havebeen clear when a man snapped his fingers and pointed to the deck at his feet,or whistled for me in the night, and I must run to him, as might a pet sleen,to serve him.A slave girl, one who truly serves men, has often much freedom.Since they have everything, and anything, they want from her, and she iscomplete slave, and they total master, there is no struggle between them; she,accordingly, in a strange way, is prized and treasured; how many women ofEarth, I wonder, are prized and treasured by their men;one can prize and treasure, of course, only something which one owns; a freeperson can be respected, and even loved, but cannot stand to another in thatunique relationship which is that of prize and treasure; to stand in thatrelationship a woman must be owned; further, since each man, in his heart,desires a beautiful woman as a slave, he is, when he owns one, at least inthis respect, contented, satisfied and pleased; a contented, pleased,satisfied man is a happy man, and a happy man is a kind man, and a generousman; he is jealous only of his prerogatives over the slave; of course, whenhis heat is upon him, then he becomes less kind and generous, and more theharsh master; she then, to her pleasure, well understands his dominance overher; then her slavery is truly brought home to her; even among free lovers, Ihave heard, the man, in the fullness of his heat, often laughs at the woman'sillusion of freedom and seizes her to him as a slave; howfile:///F|/rah/John%20Norman/Slave%20Girl%20Of%20Gor.txt (182 of 227) [1/20/033:34:32 AM]file:///F|/rah/John%20Norman/Slave%20Girl%20Of%20Gor.txt marvelous to the man,then, if she is truly a slave.With what joy may such a woman, in truebondage, be seized and used [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
