'Oh, yes, of course'; he had discovered lots of villages, a lake, too he did not know exactly in what direction; it was dangerous to inquire too much but mostly his expeditions had been for ivory.

Annersley knew that the anonymous letter would be followed by some hostile act if he did not vacate the homestead.

It wasn't so bad when the Space Vikings raided directly from the Sword-Worlds; they got home once in a while. Now they're conquering planets in the Old Federation for bases, and staying there."
