The Ramsgate lifeboat was floating quietly in the harbour, and her sturdy lion-like coxswain, Isaac Jarman, was at the pier-head with some of his men, watching. The Ramsgate men had already been out on service at the sands that day, and their appetite for saving life had been whetted. They were ready for more work. At a quarter past eight p.m. the telegram was received by the harbour-master.
How the wicked will be wailing and the righteous overjoyed When with fire the heav'ns are burning and the earth shall be destroyed!" This angel "set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth," that his lion-like voice might be heard over all the world.
Do you know the mastiff his lion-like shape, his smooth, fawn-colored coat, his black nose, and kind, intelligent eyes, their light-hazel contrasting with the black markings around them? If you do, you must pardon this description. "'I am very fond of Don, and he of me. He belongs to our cousin, whose house is but one field removed from ours; but he is here much of the time.
Daughtry did not savvee, and shook his head, while Ah Moy's slant eyes betrayed none of the anxiety and fear with which he privily gazed on Kwaque's two permanently bent fingers of the left hand and on Kwaque's forehead, between the eyes, where the skin appeared a shade darker, a trifle thicker, and was marked by the first beginning of three short vertical lines or creases that were already giving him the lion-like appearance, the leonine face so named by the experts and technicians of the fell disease.
He had grown familiar with every cadence of that mysterious voice now a whispering and laughing as the water chased over the sunny shallows then a harsher note where the current, fretting and chafing, as it were, was broken by multitudes of stones again a low murmur as the black river swept, dark and sullen, through a contracted channel finally a fiercer tumult as this once-placid Aivron, increasing in pace and volume every moment, flung itself, lion-like, over the masses of rocks its tawny mane upheaved to the daylight and then fell, crashing and plunging, into a mighty chasm, the birchwoods around reverberating with its angry roar.
Danton turned from the mob, swinging the peroration to the judges in the one impassioned cry of "JUSTICE!" Lion-like he glanced from those mean, denying souls to the rabble, and held out his hands. Like an avalanche, the "Mountain" swept down from benches to hall and on, on toward the judges. Murder was in their eyes. A word from the Thunderer would have sealed Forget-Not's fate. "His wish!
Casey was the first man to cease talking about the speech. He had already betrayed himself about it more than he meant. He belonged to the New Unionism, and affected a costume in character fustian trousers, flannel shirt, a full red tie and work-man's coat, all well calculated to set off a fine lion-like head and broad shoulders.

"Why, then," continued Browne, turning to me, "it was he, who was at the head of the second party of natives that we saw this morning by the shore." We now gave Arthur an account of our rencontre with the savages; but no particular mention was made of the destruction of the canoe, or of the lion-like old man who seemed to be the leader of those who fled.
In all armies there are men who act with heroic valour and desperate daring. Some are urged thereto by calm contempt of danger, coupled with a strong sense of duty. It was something like this, probably, that induced Skobeleff to expose himself so recklessly on almost all occasions.
