Please God, give me strength to tell it now! For Christ's sake. Amen!" One heard a low, emphatic, and far-carrying "Amen!" from the lips of London's Bishop; and I think that, too, meant something to the great congregation of Londoners assembled there.
Thither she hurried, and to her infinite gratification she saw, about a hundred yards ahead, the unmistakable trousers, coat, and Derby hat so familiar on the person of Copernicus Droop. "Hey!" she cried. "Hey, there, Mister Droop! Copernicus Droop!" She ended with a shrill, far-carrying, long-drawn call that sounded much like a "whoop."
While the halted outfit stood relaxed, there sounded through the immense voicelessness of the wilderness a long-drawn, far-carrying shout, at which the more timid women started flutteringly, but which the vanguard recognized and answered, and a moment later there appeared on the ledge of an overhanging cliff the lithe, straight figure of a boy.
Coiloo handed the luringa to Sax and disappeared. The boy had seen the effect of the peculiar note which the whirling luringa made. He stepped out into the open, swinging the strangely carved fillet of wood round and round his head. The sound grew louder and louder. It seemed impossible that such a small thing should make so far-carrying a sound. The dancing men stood petrified.
Everything that he could ask now, with his story and hers so fresh in mind! He started up the path, but stopped at the turn to look back and wave his hand to the two figures in a confident gesture. "Luck with you, Sir Chaps!" called the Doge, with all the far-carrying force of his oldtime sonorousness. "Luck! luck!"

He swung into the saddle, and they started forth upon the last hour of their day's journey. And Vosper made the only remark worth recording. "When I was in Saskatchewan last year," he began in a thin, far-carrying voice, "I must 'a shot a thousand grouse and didn't miss one." Virginia felt that she'd like to go back and shake him.
But only as a teacher with a lively interest in his pupil, he said; only that, and nothing more. On a hilltop a little way beyond his camp he stopped suddenly, his breath held to listen. Over the calm, far-carrying silence of the early night there came the sound of a woman singing, and this was the manner of her song: Na-a-fer a-lo-o-one, na-a-fer a-lone.
And it was given to Maga to sing of all that, with a voice tuned like a waterfall's for open sky, and trees, and distances not very loud, but far-carrying, and flattened in quarter-tones where it touched the infinite. Fred very soon ceased from braying with his bellowed instrument.
Has anything fine and pure ever come to you from a deep look into the luminous eyes of a bird fresh from the free open? "... Study the very voices of spiritual men. They are low-pitched, seeming to issue from deep within the man; one strains to catch what is said, especially if he be used to the far-carrying, sharp, metallic, blatant speech of the West.
