When they were done scrambling around enough to

take in their whereabouts, they saw they were lying off a

long, empty beach beneath a huge wall of cliffs, easily

one hundred feet high. The breakers and combers indicated

the area was thick with rocks, and Erik was impressed

with the Captain's ease at reaching this relatively safe

anchorage.

'Muster on deck!' came the command, and Erik and

Roo scrambled down to the deck with the others. De

Loungville waited until the entire company was settled

before he shouted, 'We get off, here, ladies. You have ten

minutes to get below and gather up your kits and get

back up here. The boats will be putting over the side at

once. We don't dawdle. No one will be left behind, so

don't get cute ideas about dodging into the rope lockers.'

Erik was convinced the warning was unnecessary. The

conversations he'd had with every other member of this

company led him to judge that everyone understood

there would be no quick escape from this mission. Some

might not believe that everything was as Calis had said,

but Nakor's words seemed to have reached all of them,

and whatever the truth of it, this band of desperate men

would meet the challenge face on.
