He had never<br >regained consciousness after falling from atop the yard while<br >trying to help shorten sail during the gray hour before dawn.<br >The other man, now the lone survivor, shipped the steering<br >oar for a moment and checked his comrade s condition. He<br >had found the brown eyes open and staring, the tanned face<br >rigid, the lean body already starting to turn cold.<br > With hardly a second thought, he stooped, got both<br >hands under the man s inert body, and hefted it with a<br >sudden, powerful jerk, the big muscles of his upper arms<br >bulging with the strain. He wondered for a moment, standing<br >there with the body in his arms, whether Thracians had any<br >death rituals; but he knew of none, and there was no time for<br >improvising one for sentimentality s sake--the wind was start-<br >ing up again, and the clouds to the west were black and<br >menacing. He heaved mightily, and the body fell into the<br >Great Sea with a dull splash.<br > 5<br ><br >
