No sound of pursuit, no howling now. Dead calm. Not even the drum-beat in the forest, far below. "Beatrice! Where are you? Beatrice!" His heart leaped gladly as he heard her answer. "Oh! Are you safe? Thank God! I I was afraid I didn't know " To him she ran along the dark passageway. "No more!" she panted. "No more Pulverite here in the building!" pleaded she.
"that pale, that white-faced shore, Whose foot spurns back tho ocean's swelling tide," they reared a sinewy and stalwart race, whose "morning drum-beat encircles the world." And History taught Ivy to reverence man. But there was one respect in which Ivy was both pupil and teacher.
Early on that day, between four and five in the morning, Captain Malcolm Fraser, in command of the main guard, was going his rounds in Quebec when he saw a signal thrown by the enemy from the heights outside the walls near Cape Diamond. Fraser knew at once that it meant an attack. He sent word to the other guards in Quebec and ordered the ringing of the alarm bell, and the drum-beat to arms.
The cross stays flew apart like cobwebs, but the lee shrouds unfortunately held good; and scarcely was the stick overboard before there was an ominous thumping at the sides, the drum-beat of death.

The story of Nathan Hale is the story of a short life and a brave death.
He would have paid little attention to it at an ordinary time, but, in all that silence and desolation, it called him like a drum-beat. Only a light step, and yet it filled him with suspicion and alarm. He was in the heart of a great and victorious Union army, but at the moment he felt that anything could happen in this strange house.
Andy Malden seemed to hear Peter Cartright, as he had heard him in his father's cabin when a boy, and remembered for the first time in years the night he had promised the eccentric old preacher he would be a Christian a promise that had been drowned by the drum-beat of the old war days and the disappointment of a lifetime.
