But as it was dark he could not ascertain this, and consequently the signal was not fired. The Company Commander sent back the S.O.S. signal, but the message was not delivered through the foolishness of a signaller who was afraid to use the power buzzer, fearing that the enemy might intercept the message.
Is that C Battery? I want to speak to FIRST CHATTY SIGNALLER. Haw, Jock, was ye hearin' aboot Andra? SECOND CHATTY SIGNALLER. No. Whit was that? FIRST CHATTY SIGNALLER. Weel Is that C Battery?

Before the fellow could get it open, Ken was on his feet again, and had flung himself on the signaller. With a snarl like that of a trapped cat, the man wrenched one arm free. 'Take that! he hissed, and next instant Ken felt the sting of steel grazing his left shoulder. The sharp pain maddened him, and his grip tightened so fiercely that he heard the breath whistle from his opponent's lungs.
After an unsuccessful application for employment as a "buzzer," or signaller, Dunshie made trial of the regimental transport, where there was a shortage of drivers. He had strong hopes that in this way he would attain to permanent carriage exercise. But he was quickly undeceived.
Understand the general working of steam and hydraulic winches, and have a knowledge of weather wisdom and knowledge of tides.

He must be able to give and read signals by sound. To make correct smoke and flame signals with fires.
I was to go to Liverpool, and act as signaller, while he was to stay in New York, receive the information, and buy or sell in accordance with it. "Our apparatus was very simple. At each terminus of our line, so to speak, we had a room, inaccessible save to ourselves.
With a shout of "Come along Tigers, show them what you can do," Captain Tomson led them straight at the enemy. Two of the gun teams were overcome, but the third could not be reached, and fired at them point blank. L/Cpl. Signaller J. Smith was wounded and fell, Captain Tomson, bending down to tie him up, was shot through the head.
I found one long-haired, red-eyed fellow chopping wood for our cook; my appearance caused a signaller, noted for his Hyde Park Corner method of oratory, to cease abruptly a turgid denunciation of the Hun and all his works. The talk was all of a counter-attack by which a battalion of Prussian Guards had won back the eastern corner of Trones Wood, one of the day's objectives.
The voice ceased: the flags whistled and snapped in the wind for a little while longer, then the signaller came to stiffest attention. "Tell them we descend by the Via Mala," added the nasal voice.
The flag-wagging was repeated desperately; it was evident that no one had replied, and probable that no one had picked up the messages. A signaller who was with us, read the language for us. A company of infantry had advanced too far; they were most of them wounded, very many of them dead, and they were in danger of being surrounded.
