Since Kardios, the last surviving Atlantean, had lost so many valiant friends and lovely ladies in the sudden awful drowning of his home island, he welcomed the comradeship of the fisher-captain Krarr and the crew of the square-sailed craft that put out on a sea he had never dreamed of. He dragged on nets and climbed masts with them, helping how he could. He was tall, tanned, wide-shouldered, black-maned, with the only shaven face aboard. He wore a sleeveless blue tunic, a leopardskin kilt, a useful-looking sword in a copper-riveted sheath. His harp swung at his back. The whole company liked him. “We’re headed for a port called Sambarra with our fish, but it’ll take a couple of days,” said bearded Captain Krarr. “When you’re off watch, play that harp and sing to us, and tell us what you’ve been up to.” . . .
