The manager was pushing his way through the crowd, waving his megaphone, and looking somewhat alarmed, for he felt dismayed at the idea of having so many of his supers being injured more or less seriously. It would mean not only pain and suffering for the poor fellows but a pretty heavy bill of damages to pay by the company.
With a rounding sweep the destroyer commanded by Dave Darrin turned out of the way of the troopship, then came up close, on the same course, scooting by. "Good old Darry!" Prescott yelled through a megaphone that Greg thrust into his unoccupied hand. For a wonder Dave heard, just as the destroyer darted in at her closest point to the transport. For just an instant Darrin turned to wave his hand.
So first day out I figured that the place no copper would ever look for me would be like the Field Museum and in the zoo and on the beach and like that. "So, first of all, I join a rubberneck crowd in one of the carryalls with a megaphone guy in charge. And I ride around all day. I got kind of nervous owing to the many coppers we kept passing and exchanging courtesies with.
The fat man with the megaphone would bawl out, "'Hicky Bloo! Miss Ryan." And Miss Ryan would oblige. She made a hideous rattle and crash and clatter of sound compared to which an Indian tom-tom would have seemed as dulcet as the strumming of a lute in a lady's boudoir. Terry joined the crowds about the counter. The girl at the piano was not looking at the keys.
And it was then that he caught and imprisoned in colour the nameless beauty which was the foundation for his first famous picture, whose snowy splendour silenced all except those little critics who chirp automatically, eternally, on the ruddy hearthstone of the gods. From the distant hill-top a voice bellowed at them through a megaphone; and, looking aloft, they beheld Scott gesticulating.
“Were you ordered to go in there?” he was asked. “Yes; just before we were fired upon the order was given from the Wilmington.” “Was it a signal order?” “No; we were near enough to the Wilmington so that they shouted it to us from the deck, through the megaphone.” “Do you remember the words of the commander who gave them?”
It was thus that his grandfather had set forth one summer day to avenge a wrong, nearly seventy years before. The agent had entered the cabin, and now he reappeared, wiping his sweating face with a big red handkerchief. The recorder followed. He paused at the edge of the stream and made a megaphone of his hands. "Gentlemen," he cried raucously, "both claims have been thrown out!"
The old man trumpeted a laugh that would have done credit to a megaphone. "Stranger, my kiddie boy? A've known these Rocky Mountain States when, if ye owned these pairts an' had a homestead in Hell, y'd rent y'r residence here and take up quiet life the other place! A knew these trails before y' were born, from Mexico to MacKenzie River, wherever men had a thirst.
"The Putney mystery," said the Daily Megaphone, "surpasses any of recent years in its sensational character. There is a touch of the bizarre in this grim spectacle of the dead man at the door of the empty house, and the swaying figure of his murderer hanging in the kitchen, with no other mark of identification than a playing card pinned to his breast.
This sudden avowal created a half panic aboard the mysterious schooner, and the man astern exchanged his megaphone for field-glasses. After a long scrutiny he went back to the megaphone. "Congratulations, captain!" came the bellow. "When are you going to rejoin the Lass?"
