 Fina and Bardell sat down in           

 a space in the front of the boat,      

 between the two rows of oarsmen.       

 It was cold on the water;  Bardell     

 pulled his cloak about him to keep     

 warm.                                  

 Brandol stood at the stern, near to    

 Pundill.  "Ready oars," he said        

 loudly.  Pundill tapped the rowing     

 rhythm quietly on the big drum.        

 "Out oars."                            

 "In"  The oarsmen dipped their oars    

 into the water and the boat moved      

 slowly out of the harbour.
