He listened for any sound of the harbor patrol boat; but even had he bothered to show a light it would have been obliterated in the fog, which was the worst Kendrick ever had experienced.
Almost unable to believe his ears, Will turned to George with a question on his lips: "Did you hear that?" he asked. "Of course I did!" "I did, too, but I thought I must be dreaming." "No dream about that!" replied George. "That's the call of the Beaver Patrol!" "And that means that Tommy and Sandy are not far away!" "We heard the call of the Wolf Patrol not long ago," suggested George.
I knew that John Whiteclett would certainly be in one of the patrol boats, and I spent the morning in looking out for him. Thus by an apparent accident when the Commander did land about noon he very soon walked into Mr. Hobhouse. My cousin's face was grave and set, and there being no witnesses, neither of us luckily had to act. "Well, Jack?" I said. "Did you see it happen?" he demanded.
As Franceschi's report informed Soult that the whole force of the allies was now upon him, he at once sent off his heavy artillery and baggage by the road to Amarante. Mermet was posted at Valongo, with orders to patrol the river and to seize every boat. Those at Oporto were also secured.
It is true, we had affected a tidy confiscation; but that joke was now old too old to laugh at. We had some "snipers" all day endeavouring to worry the Boers. A mounted patrol, also, worried them.

"Do we light out now or wait for the cops?" he asked. "We wait. They'd probably find out, anyhow, that we'd been here." Five minutes later a patrol wagon clanged up to the Paradox. A sergeant of police and two plainclothes men took the elevator. The sergeant, heading the party, stopped in the doorway of the apartment and let a hard, hostile eye travel up and down Lane's six feet.
In the evening of this date, under cover of a heavy bombardment, a German patrol consisting of about forty men made an attempt to reach the British lines to the north of Ypres. A few of the German troops succeeded in gaining the British trenches, but were ejected after a brief struggle.
"That's what makes things exciting, knowing that you are behind or ahead " "Sssh!" Don cautioned. "I'll award the points now," said Mr. Wall. "Later you can look over my scoring pad and see how I scored each individual test. Wolf patrol five points " "Wow!" yelled Bobbie. Andy dug him in the ribs. "Shut up, you shrimp. Want Mr. Wall to put us out?" But Mr. Wall only smiled at the excited scout.
She deems she has a treasure; but let her beware: that which would protect a woman who wears the veil will do naught for a creature who shows her face to the stranger, and dances by night for the Zouaves and for the Spahis who patrol the dunes."
