A Phule And His Money
“Armstrong, standing upright near the prow, was thrown straight over the mud bank into water deep enough for him to go completely under.
Most of the others went overboard, too, landing in the shallow water that hid the bank-perhaps a half meter below the surface. That was enough to break their falls, although Tusk-anini landed hard enough to knock the wind out of him. Even the few who managed to remain on deck got a good shaking up. By sheer luck, none of them accidentally fired their weapon...s. Considering the firepower they were carrying, that kept the accident from turning into a disaster. Even the stun ray, if it had hit someone in deep water, could have been lethal.
Armstrong's head appeared above the water, and he looked around in all directions before swimming back toward the bank, where the legionnaires were beginning to find their feet. "What happened?" he said, as he reached wading depth.
"Hit a bar," said Hansen, who had rushed to the prow and was looking over the side to see what damage his boat had sustained.MoreLess
