In a few moments they dropped the sail and fended off from the chaser's side, just as Captain Bridger reached the spot too.

The York boat, pointed bow and stern, low amidships, and undecked, reminded Garth of the pictures he had seen of ancient Norse galleys.
They came out of it as white men, wearing the costume of well-to-do rancheros or rather that of town traders broad glazed hats upon their heads, cloth jackets and trousers the latter having the seats and insides of the legs fended with a lining of stamped leather; boots with heavy spurs upon their feet, crape sashes around the waist, machetes strapped along the flaps of their saddles, and seraphs resting folded over the croup, gave the finishing touch to their travelling equipment.
