I have to gather my things."Out of earshot of the sailor, Raul still whispers. "It is not good to speak of these things. But since you helped me, I will tell you.One of the most feared powers of my people is known as the 'evil eye'. Despite the name, like any weapon it is evil only if used unjustly. We don't use it lightly. The exact effect depends on the Vistana. In some cases it causes a curse, but some cause other magical effects, useful against foes.As with most magic, sometimes it can be resisted. But it is just a silly ignorant superstition that hand gestures can help ward it off. Enough said."Raul takes food supplies, a few of his metal wares, his weapons, his violin, and Nikko from the wagon.Cap'n Timothy lowers the rowboat and ties it to the back of his vessel. He doesn't put any oars in it.The Virago is a 50' single-masted river schooner. Cap'n Timothy must be an expert sailor, or the ship would be too large to handle single-handedly. He has tailored the rigging of the mainsail so that it can be handled from the stern, near the tiller. He maneuvers the boat alongside the island, turning it so that the rowboat is easily reached.Raul climbs onto the rowboat, bringing his son and supplies, and Jiles follows. The boats get underway, heading downriver with assistance from the wind.Raul begins to play his violin during the journey.At lunchtime, Cap'n Timothy pulls to one side and drops a small anchor. He goes below decks and brings up bread cheese, and wine."You guys want some?" he inquires.</blockquote>
