Polly, who had been edging up slowly toward the front seat of the sleigh, ever since they had started, gave a sudden spring and climbed up beside McDonald. She knew exactly what was going to happen. At the first sound of the horn, the horses already frightened out of their senses by all the singing and yelling reared up on their hind legs for one terrifying second, and then bolted.
Now, the Deacon coming home late from the church- meeting, and seeing him in this way, wherreted him smartly with his cane, whereupon he ran off, and came up the road howling and yelling like an evil spirit. Uncle Rawson sent his Irish man-servant to see what caused the ado; but he straightway came running back, screaming "Murther! murther!" at the top of his voice.
Taken by surprise at the goat's attack, a dozen big warriors tumbled in a heap, yelling with fear, and their comrades, not knowing what had happened but imagining that their foes were attacking them, turned about and ran to the city as hard as they could go.
I could see no French, and so judged they were attacking on the other side. "We've got 'em now!" yelled Waggoner. "Give it to 'em, men!" and we poured a well-directed volley into the yelling mob. Fifteen or twenty fell, and the others, affrighted at the unexpected slaughter, threw down their guns and started to run.
For at least three-quarters of an hour this game went on.... Another day Jean, being angry at the weather and having eaten a huge amount of soupe, began yelling at the top of his voice: "MERDE a la France" and laughing heartily.

Now Penhallow said, "Sit down. Put some court-plaster on those scratches, Ann, or a postage stamp or so Come, Leila, the horses are here. Run upstairs and get my riding-whip. That fool brought me down in a hurry. When the chimney took fire last year he ran through the village yelling that the house was burned down. Don't let your aunt coddle you, John."

That is, if we ever git thar alive." All the time the old man stood in the middle of the raft yelling orders. Ahead was the Dillon raft, and the twin brothers the giants, one mild, the other sour-faced were gesticulating angrily at each other from bow and stern. As usual, they were quarrelling.
Fifty English soldiers were sent from the fort to ascertain the occasion of the yelling, and were drawn into the ambuscade.
In the hour of battle I have heard the Prince of Savoy's officers say the prince became possest with a sort of warlike fury, his eyes lighted up; he rushed hither and thither, raging; shrieked curses and encouragement, yelling and harking his bloody war-dogs on, and himself always at the first of the hunt.
