The earth-ridges and the peaceful village were still German; but the French positions went down the mountain, almost to the valley's edge; and one dark peak on the right was already French. We stopped at a gap in the firs and walked to the brink of the plateau. Just under us lay a rock-rimmed lake.
He stepped into the crevice through which Blenham had dragged Terry. "There's a split in the rocks here," called Barbee. "He went this way." "Watch out for him!" warned Steve, now on the ledge close to the boy. "Let me go ahead!" Barbee laughed. "Long ago I told him I'd get him!" But Blenham was waiting in a little rock-rimmed hollow. He shot from the hip, using a heavy revolver.
Then with three mighty splashes that send the sea birds whirling and screaming above the rocks the anchors go down; and the Admiral stands on his high poop-deck, and looks long and searchingly at the fragment of earth, rock-rimmed, surf-fringed, and tree-crowned, of which he is Viceroy and Governor-General.
Chloe glanced upward, but saw only the log wall of the stockade which seemed to tower upward until it touched the sky. A blood-curdling cry rang out upon the air a sound she had heard of nights echoing among rock-rimmed ridges the pack-cry of the wolf-breed.

Wade mounted guard while Santry, who in his younger days had prospected in California, squatted over a sandy, rock-rimmed pool and deftly "washed out" a pan of gravel.
The passionate loves and hatreds of the clans, their pride of race, their deathless lealty; and more than all, and better than all, their religious instincts, faiths and prejudices; these, with the mystic, wild loveliness of heather-clad hill and rock-rimmed loch, of roaring torrent and jagged crags, of lonely muir and sunny pasture nuiks; all these, and ten thousand nameless and unnamable things united in the weaving of the spell of the Glen upon the hearts of its people.
This headland terminated in a small, rock-rimmed plateau, perhaps three acres in extent, and was so situated as to be practically impregnable against the attack of an ordinary force; the rim-rocks forming a natural barricade which reduced the necessity for artificial fortification to a minimum.
