The strains had ceased as suddenly as they began. Then a faint hallo-o-o sounded, being answered in the bushes, as it seemed, just in front of where Jack and his companion stood; voices soon became audible farther along, ten or more paces. Motioning to Kate, Jack crept along noiselessly, and fancied he could distinguish forms through the thick screen of bushes.
And even as the red spark went out in the darkness a lonely birdcall floated across the river the strange squealing plaint of the great cock-o'-the-pines. She answered, imitating it perfectly. Then a far voice called: "Hallo-o-o! How's fishin'?" She picked up her pine candle, hurried out to the bank and crept cautiously down the crazy, wooden stairs.

As we drew near my father raised a signal shout, "Hallo-o-o the House!" and a man in a long gray coat came out.
That girl would worry any man to death! Where are you? Hi! Ship ahoy! Hallo-o-o!" We need scarcely remark that Rose did not wait for the last stentorian halloo!

"What for?" said Harry. "Why, to wash in, of course," said Fred. "Ho! ho! ho!" burst out Harry, laughing, "hot water to wash with in July! Why, we never use any all through the winter, when it's ever so cold, and the jugs get frozen over. You try cold water, it's ever so much better, and makes you have red cheeks like Phil's." "Hi, hallo-o-o!" shouted somebody front out of doors.
