The lap of the ripples against the birch side of the canoe, the gurgle of the water round the paddle blades, and the rush of the bow as, after it had paused on the withdraw, it leaped forward on the stroke, were the only sounds that broke the deathlike silence of the semi-arctic night.
From the black mass of Indians opposite came a mighty gurgle, which gradually broke into a roar, "The black! Fifty hides on the black!" "The little bronze! She is a length ahead! Madre de dios! Six doubloons of Mexico on the little bronze!" The priest pushed his way to the speaker, a wealthy ranchero who had been more than once to Mexico. "The white against the bronze, senor," he said.
Enveloping all, the monotone and liquid gurgle from the hoarse impetuous copious fall the greenish- tawny, darkly transparent waters, plunging with velocity down the rocks, with patches of milk-white foam a stream of hurrying amber, thirty feet wide, risen far back in the hills and woods, now rushing with volume every hundred rods a fall, and sometimes three or four in that distance.
She could talk a little, in disconnected sentences, with fascinating mistakes in the sounds of letters, but she preferred a gurgle of laughter when she was pleased, and a wail of woe when things went wrong. She was still in the limbos of primitivism. She was young with the babyhood of the world.

Far away, down the valley, was the red glow of a fire, its flame reflecting over the surface of the river. I knew I stared down into a great void, but could hear no sound except a faint gurgle of water directly beneath.

He felt that he would die, that his pounding blood vessels would burst. The bead curtains of rain rustled and tinkled about him, awakening his nerves, making his skin flash and tingle. In the gurgle of water in gutters and water spouts he could imagine he heard orchestras droning libidinous music.
