The Lion of Saint Mark

CHAPTER 11: The Battle Of Antium
16/37

"I have seen you often at your father's house.

I shall have to give him a good account of you, for I saw you fighting bravely.
"But we will talk more of this afterwards.

We must set to work to separate the galleys, or we shall have them grinding each other to pieces.

Then we must hasten to the assistance of our friends." The Genoese prisoners were all fastened below, and the Venetians then set to work to cut the lashings and free the rigging of the ships.
Francis kept only twenty men on board the Bonito.

The remainder were distributed between the two captured Genoese galleys, and the admiral turned his attention to the battle.
But it was already almost over.
