"A rocket sent up in the usual way would have been visible from where we were standing." "And, in a minute," the boy went on, "there came a rocket from that house, the house where the light was a minute ago. That, too, followed the ground line." "Talking together in low tones!" grinned Jack. "They were talkin' together, all right," Jimmie said.
While two of you are doing that, the rest break out the rocket launcher and rocket racks and assemble the cutting torch. Koa will make assignments." While the sergeant-major translated Rip’s general instructions into specific orders for each man, the young lieutenant walked to the edge of the sun belt. There was no atmosphere, so the edge was a sharp line between dark and light.
Even a seaman might have said that without much apparent impropriety. But the boatmen of Ramsgate held a different opinion! The signal gun had been fired, the rocket had gone up, a wreck was known to be on the fatal Goodwin Sands, and they were as eager to face the storm as if encountering danger and facing death were pleasant pastime.
"Just wait till you smack your mouth on it," said Gid. "Why, sir, there's the smile of a goddess in each drop and a 'Paradise Regained' in a swallow. Sit down, Wash Sanders a swig of it would shoot you into the air like a rocket."

The Constant lifeboat also put off to the rescue.
There was a shooting star now and then, breaking out like a rocket with a trail of sparks or slipping small and pallid across the sky. One of these latter might have been poor Silvia's soul slipping away from the earth. It went out there somewhere on the mountain-side. Matteo said the carriage tilted, and she, being asleep, fell out before he could prevent.
Bella in her pink frock, and Tom in his holland coat, clambered up into the cart, and while Tom gathered up the reins Bella picked up the two most precious of the baskets, and away they started. Once clear of the lane, and out on the level high road, Rocket broke into a smart little trot, and carried them along in fine style.
There is an institution in which I am much interested, and which you might appropriately remember just now." "What is that?" "The Lifeboat Institution." "But it was not the Lifeboat Institution that saved me. It was the Rocket apparatus." "True, but it might have been a lifeboat that saved you.
Fortunately the invaluable Landaalu had discovered a good crossing over the swamp, so we were able to press on at a good pace without losing any time in overcoming the obstacle.
