|Value 10-19 = A quartet of raucous monks spill out of a rowboat, swaying perilously. They pry the vessel away from the winches. One of them bears the little boat on his back as they stagger towards the Arrant Limpet. That's one way of avoiding docking fees. | |Value 10-19 = A quartet of raucous monks spill out of a rowboat, swaying perilously. They pry the vessel away from the winches.

|Value 20-29 = A red-hulled pirate cutter […] in a cradle close to the Arrant Limpet. Passers-by stop to mutter and stare. A gaggle of Mourn-born urchins dare each other to touch the prow, and retreat giggling […] The vessel of some pirate-king? Or just a fancy paint job? | |Value 20-29 = A red-hulled pirate cutter […] in a cradle close to the Arrant Limpet. Passers-by stop to mutter and stare.

− | |Value 40-49 = A Polythremean pirate steamer makes demands to an overseer, filling the air with the piercing complaint of an upset steam-engine. A trio of Clay pirates stand guard impassively. Living ships have particular requirements, it seems. | + | |Value 38???40-49 = A Polythremean pirate steamer makes demands to an overseer, filling the air with the piercing complaint of an upset steam-engine.

|Value 50-59 = A Blemmigan crests the landing stage, having apparently climbed up the Mourn all the way from zee level. Its fronds waft; its beak trills. It hides beneath a shipping crate, and is lost from view. | |Value 50-59 = A Blemmigan crests the landing stage, having apparently climbed up the Mourn all the way from zee level.

For a moment it looks as though the steamer in this cradle will fall […] but an intricate series of fall-backs and guard-ropes catch it before its tumble can truly begin. |
|Value 70-79 = A zubmarine rocks in its cradle as some great activity shudders within. The flywheel spins. There is a creak like a dying breath, and the airlock edges open.
