The warning had sounded for those going ashore, and the numerous gangways were crowded. Passengers lined the promenade-deck, shouting and waving to the crowd on the wharf below. From the bridge-deck the captain could be heard cheerfully swearing through a megaphone at the second officer below.
To her ear, harassed with the roar and crash, with the shrill scream of the whistle of the policeman at the crossing, with the hiss of feet shuffling on cement, it was a celestial strain. She looked up, toward the sound. A great second-story window opened wide to the street. In it a girl at a piano, and a man, red-faced, singing through a megaphone.
The Sergeant-Major clapped megaphone to mouth and shouted, and two young subalterns and a sergeant jumped from their places, and raced for the dug-out. The Major spoke rapidly and tersely. 'We are putting down a belt of shrapnel in front of our own infantry very close to them. You know what that means the most careful and exact laying and fusing, and fire as hot and heavy as you can make it.
"As soon the Rosan catches her," replied Code, and then, exasperated by the unexpected maneuvers of this remarkable vessel, he cried: "Who are you and what do you want that you chase me all over the sea?" Instantly the man put down the megaphone and gave orders to the crew, and in five minutes she was on her way north into the very heart of the fleet.
The next instant she was shouting through the megaphone, an instrument which she had seriously studied: "Votes for women. Why do you torture women? Votes for women. Why do you torture women?"

At last, soon after those on board had finished breakfast, they heard the sound of oars out in the fog and a rough voice calling through a megaphone: "Steamer ahoy! What boat is that?" "Nora, from Valdez," answered Captain Zim. "Are you the pilot?" "Ay, ay!" came the voice through the fog.
He came and found me stretched prone on the bed of affliction; and he asked me how I felt, to which I replied with a low and hollow groan tolerably low and exceedingly hollow. It could not have been any hollower if I had been a megaphone. So he looked me over and told me that I had climate fever.
Some afterthought had robbed her of her self-control. "Tell me why you said Miss Faye was a clever girl," he directed. "Just because she puts her ambition above everything else and works hard and honestly and sincerely, and will get there. That's what people call being clever." "I see." Werner's voice, roaring through a megaphone, announced an interval for lunch.
With a megaphone, Channing gathered his facts from an officer of the Iowa, who looked like a chimney-sweep, and who was surrounded by a crew of half-naked pirates, with bodies streaked with sweat and powder.
"Like to 'a' got you back there!" he shouted. "Where you been?" "Looking for you mainly. What you going do next?" "See that line of fire off norwest! We that's where our front and Johnny Bull's join. Appincourte Bluff seems either to have been turned or to have turned Fritzy off. Ready for a scrimmage?" "You ought to know, Lafe!" Bangs laughed easily into the megaphone. "Ready for most anything."
