The forest echoed and reëchoed with the dull thud of her hoofs as they pounded the thick underlay of rotting cones.

It was like a beacon light to a storm-driven mariner.
He called this stronghold Fort Necessity. The French soon came up and surrounded the fort, and the bark of the rifles reechoed through the woods and from the hills.
When he explained that there was a herd of cattle on the trail in the rear and to our right, the yell went around the herd, and was reechoed by our wrangler and cook in the rear. The spirits of the outfit instantly rose. We halted the herd and camped for noon, and McCann set out his best in celebrating the occasion. It was the most enjoyable meal we had had in the past ten days.
Almost immediately the prolonged subterranean murmur echoed and reechoed through the cavern, dying away at last in a choking sound that frightened the quartette of girls deplorably. Grace began to sob. Nan and Bess were really frightened dumb for the time. Rhoda Hammond felt that she should keep up their courage. "Don't, Gracie. Don't get all worked up.

In the gloom they stumbled, tripped over vines and creepers, and became involved among the close-crowding boles. Suddenly, once again the wolf-cry burst out, this time reechoed from another and another savage throat, wailing and plaintive and full of frightful portent. So much nearer now it seemed that Beatrice and Allan both stopped short.
