The nullah sloped up at the end, and after a good deal of hard work I hauled her up. It was jolly cold, I can tell you, and when we saw a light moving about ahead we made a bee-line for it. Joyce thought it was a will-o'-the-wisp; she had never seen one, but she had read of them, and she said they moved up and down just like that.
And Dan'l was in pitch black night, but, sir, he made a bee-line through them dark woods straight for his camp he'd left seven days afore. And, man, yer kin bet they made tracks when they got clear o' the Redskins! Hit wuz six hours till day an' when the Injuns waked they didn't know which way ter look " Tom paused and the Boy cried eagerly: "Did they get there?"
"If you were almost starved, and got on the track of onions frying, wouldn't you make a bee-line for that camp-fire, and beg to share the meal? That's what he did, came walking in, and in his clumsy way tried to dance himself into our good graces. But the hour was late, and we all made a break for the branches of the trees. I'll never remember that without laughing.
Are you going round the world in a bee-line? Do you carry a portable canoe?" "I was in the diligence," said the woman, not choosing to notice such ill-timed levity, "and we were stopped by the Carlists and I escaped and I'm trying to find my way to some safe place but I cannot I cannot."
"Then Nick made a bee-line for the cabin, broke the pane of glass, opened the winder, an' crawled in. Here he collected all the valuables he c'd lay his hands on money, trinkets, jewels hundreds and hundreds of dollars' worth, an' packed the lot into the gunny sack that he found in that there corner." "Ah, I didn't remember that gunny sack," said Kiddie.
Down goes his head, that sure sign of exhaustion, and in a moment, he has turned round, and is off in a bee-line, hotly pursued by the victor. The chase is never a long one, as the conqueror always abandons it at the end of a few hundred yards, but while it lasts, it is fast and furious, and woe betide the man who finds himself in the way of either of the excited animals.

"Not unless Anson goes. I told John thet in case there was no fight on the stage to make a bee-line back to Pine. He was to tell Al an' offer his services along with Joe an' Hal." "One way or another, then, there's bound to be blood spilled over this." "Shore! An' high time. I jest hope I get a look down my old 'forty-four' at thet Beasley."
He had just uttered the first few notes when they saw him suddenly whirl around in consternation, and at the same time point with the bugle, as he shrieked: "Oh! look! look what's coming in on us, fellows!" "It's a bear!" whooped Davy Jones, making a bee-line for the nearest tree, just as might have been expected of such a gymnast.
The latter, when bent upon a daring expedition, naturally prefers to make a bee-line towards its objective: fuel considerations as a matter of fact compel it to do so. Consequently it is possible, within certain limits, to anticipate the route which an invading craft will follow: the course is practically as obvious as if the vessel were condemned to a narrow lane marked out by sign-posts.
"No, but I can make something out of him, I guess." "Poor devil!" said the other man. "It might have paid to shadow him," said the first man, thoughtfully. "I shouldn't wonder if he took a bee-line for a drug-store. He looked desperate." "Or perhaps the park. He looks like the sort that might have a pistol around somewhere."
