The boat trip is fairly smooth. The horses stomp and snort several
times, but the vargr keep them from moving around and under control.
>Once he was down he turned to the Vargr.
>"Anspor, open the hatch."
>To the searchers he smiled a grim smile.
>"May the gods grant you find everyone safe."
"And with you." says one of them as they file out and mount. The ride
toward the east.

The comm crackles for a second and then, "Ur, yes. This is Arvitis
aboard the /Mae Lee/. There's a farm directly south of you on the
other side of the river. It's about 30 klicks south of the Lika ranch,
right where this branch of the river joins another before flowing
southwest through that city down there."
"That's the last one." Arvitis says, "Ur, Ricky's busy right now, but
if you take that one while we finish up here, I think we'll have
covered the places along the river."
