::Salty looked down at the hole in the deck...the mate had called it a hatch, but to Salty it was a hole...small, dark and leading into the bowels of the galley. "There is nothing on Gor that will entice me or force me to go down there...I am not an urt or a worm" he snarled at the mate. "The stars and wind are my roof. My kajira and I will camp right here" and he threw his skinning knife into the deck at the base of what he was told was the mast that carried the sail of the galley.
He pushed Tara down onto the deck and stared hard at the mate, daring the man to object, but the mate just grinned, shrugged his shoulders and went about his duties.
He sat down beside Tara and pulled her close. "I love seeing you naked girl, but there are no other females about so I want you to wear these" and he pulled a pair of cotton breeches, a cotton shirt and a long cotton cape from one of his packs. "Put these on girl and try not to look so tempting and beautiful....roll your hair up in a clump and tie it that way...it will make you look ugly" the last words said with a grin.
His face grew sad when he saw his kajira covering her glory with the cotton garments. "Aiiii" he sighed, "I will miss watching you girl, but I will keep you safe and out of trouble." When she had clothed herself, he made her lie down on their blanket, "Try to sleep girl, we have a long journey ahead and you will need your strength."
He felt the wood under him, the deck as the mate called it, begin to move and rock.....the galley was moving.....his heart began to beat faster, at last, the journey had begun.::
