Jury-Law books

Tirant struck out to sea that night. It was no
more than thirty miles from one port to another. When day broke,
clear and beautiful, the men on land saw Tirant's five ships, and
thinking that they were part of those coming with the Grand
Caramany they paid no attention to them at all. As the ships
came into port each of them attacked another ship, and many men
jumped aboard the others. Then they attacked the two remaining
ships, and since few men were aboard they took them all with very
little trouble and without anyone being killed. Then they
brought back all the ships loaded with wheat and barley, salted
oxen and wine from Cyprus. I can assure you that in the
Christian camp it was very helpful and timely since, because of
all the fighting, they had no wheat or meat unless it came to
them by sea. Tirant gave the wheat to the Lord of Malvei; all
the rest he had transported to the camp at the city of Saint
George.
When Tirant returned from the attack he spoke to the Turks who
had been made his prisoners on the ship, and asked them for news
about Turkey.
