fish inside it gave the small round windows an aspect of shining,
and Carter did not blame the sailors much for their fears. Then
by the watery moonlight he noticed an odd high monolith in the
middle of that central court, and saw that something was tied
to it. And when after getting a telescope from the captain's cabin
he saw that that bound thing was a sailor in the silk robes of
Oriab, head downward and without any eyes, he was glad that a

his bungalow still lived -- that the murderer of his wife went
