"We're going to have the first skirmish, and, after that, Miss Brown, you are to do your ride. Are you ready?" "Yes," Estelle told the director. The signal was given through the field telephone and then, with his ever-present megaphone, the director began to issue his orders.
The captain kicked the goal which tied the score while a continuous din of unorganized shouting rose from the Ridgley stands. It was no moment for organized cheering. The cheer leader himself was leaping up and down, throwing his megaphone into the air and emitting war whoops which were drowned and assimilated by the volume of shouts that echoed back and forth.
By my side sat a telephonist in communication with the Battery Command Post, some four hundred yards away to the left, beyond the Left Section. My only other apparatus was a megaphone, a notebook and pencil, and a pipe. Occasionally I would go and stand by one of the guns, to check the gun-laying and to see that the guns were recoiling and coming up again without undue violence.
"Don't be a Mr. Sneed!" retorted her sister, with a laugh. "I don't believe anything will happen, and if if he should fall see!" and she pointed to where a detachment of city firemen stood ready with their life net. "Oh, I didn't notice them before," confessed Ruth. "That makes it safer." "All ready down there, Russ?" shouted Paul, through a megaphone. "Shall I go?" "Jump!

"Yes, thank you," replied Farnum. Thereupon Jack signaled to Hal Hastings, aboard the "Pollard," which lay to, not far off, to return to moorings. "Catch your man?" yelled Hal, through a megaphone.
Above the confusion came Brennan's voice, through a megaphone, commanding them to stand back. Some one traitorously cast off the loop of the bow line, the ship's propellers began to thrash, and the big steel hull backed away inch by inch, foot by foot, until, amid curses and cries of rage, she described a majestic circle and plowed off up the sound toward Hope.

After Agadir he had often been called a coward behind his back, and it was whispered that his throne would be in danger if that surrender were repeated.
When it was about one hundred and fifty feet above the cradle, Edestone was seen to walk out with a megaphone in his hand, and through it communicate instructions to the man on the bridge, in evident obedience to which the airship settled still lower, until it was not more than twenty feet above the top of the cradle.
