"Hark! the herald angels sing Glory to the new-born King, Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled." Keith staggered to his feet, and peered through the darkness, but could see nothing. He followed the sound, and ere long a square building loomed up in the distance.
Beyond the harbor there loomed, gray and cold upon the wintry horizon, a dismal barrack, parted from the Wildernsea houses by a narrow creek, spanned by an iron drawbridge.
And if only somebody would stop that hideous bell! Someone was singing quietly in the drawing-room, and the music seemed to be strangely bizarre and out of place. Inside it seemed like a veritable house of the dead the shadow of tragedy loomed everywhere. The dust rose in clouds from the floor as the servants passed to and fro.
Alla right," said Tony softly through his teeth, and in a grim silence more terrifying than the threat of his words, he blew the lantern out, tossed it to the ground, and proceeding to clamber down, grasped Alex by the leg and dragged him down after. But help was at hand. As they reached the ground a second tall figure loomed up suddenly out of the darkness. "Who dat?" demanded Big Tony.

The levitators screamed madly as they lost their purchase on the air, due to the ship's unstable keel. "We're goners!" someone shouted. "Kill that fool!"

Dorcas, forgetful of him, had stretched her arms upward in a yawn that seemed to envelop the whole of her. As she stood there in the moonlight, her tall figure loomed like that of a priestess offering worship.
Then I scanned very carefully the horizon in every direction, but particularly to the northward, in the hope of discovering a sail of some sort heading toward me; but the horizon was bare, save to the southward, where the high land of Hayti loomed up with startling and quite deceptive distinctness.
Here was the motive, without which the case against John Buchanan Steel must have remained incomplete. Langholm added it to his notes and trembled! He had compunction enough about the major triumph which now seemed in certain store for him; the larger it loomed, the less triumphant and the more tragic was its promise.
In front, the road ran across a marsh, between deep ditches where tall sedges grew. Beyond the marsh, wet sands stretched back to the blurred woods across a bay, and farther off, low hills loomed indistinctly in the mist. Jim noted that the landscape had not the monotony he had sometimes felt in Canada.
