Other sounds, hollow and shrill treble mingling with diapason joined in the first. The noise came from just beyond the pressure-mound at the foot of which the party had halted. "Forward!" shouted Bennett; "hurry there, men!" Desperately eager, the men bent panting to their work. The sledge bearing the whaleboat topped the hummock. "Now, then, over with her!" cried Ferriss. But it was too late.
In solid ranks, their countless hordes from the dense woods emerge, And roll upon our serried lines like ocean's angry surge. Our ranks are silent on each face the light of battle glows: 'Ready! At once our polished tubes are levelled on our foes. Now leaps a livid lightning up from rank to rank it flies A fearful diapason rends the arches of the skies.
At the great stone basin Malcolm set the swan spouting, but the sweet musical jargon of the falling water seemed almost coarse in the soundless diapason of the moonlight. So he stopped it again, and they strolled farther up the garden.
Not a "factor" on the London 'Change who did not turn an ear down the wind to catch the echo of this turmoil, not an agent de change in the peristyle of the Paris Bourse, who did not strain to note the every modulation of its mighty diapason.

Followed blows of pikes upon a door and imperious calls to open, and thereafter came the rending of timbers, the shivering of glass, screams of terror blending with screams of rage, and, running through these shrill sounds, the deeper diapason of bestial laughter. It was a hunt of two wretched Swiss guardsmen seeking blindly to escape.
As he spoke, and paused from time to time, the tumult of the storm without, and the fury with which it swept against the roof, door, and windows of the house, made a terrible diapason to the sweet and affecting tone of feeling which pervaded the remarks of the dying boy.
Every note on the diapason of discord was run through. The prize-fighters, or hitites as they were called, mustered in considerable numbers, and the battles between them and the pitites were fierce and many.
