When he began just now to trumpet a little too loud I whistled as loud as a plover, for that often silences a snorer; but I could more easily have made those stone Muses dance than have roused him." "If only we could get him to bed." "Well, if you have four horses at hand." "You are as bad as you ever were!" "A little less so, Selene, only you must become accustomed again to my way of speaking.
Then he drew her into the tent, whispering "Softly, softly, the snorer yonder is the German." She followed him, leaned against him, and raised his hand to her lips; he felt them grow wet with tears.
In it is a stone, one of those which frame the grating at the entrance, which a strong man can remove and the man is in!" "Ay, in! But where?" La Tribe asked, his eyebrows drawn together. "Well said, Monsieur, where?" Perrot rejoined in a tone of triumph. "There lies the point. In the stables, where will be sleeping men, and a snorer on every truss?
"Chunky doesn't snore on an empty stomach," laughed Tad. "I called out, 'Hello, who's there? The snorer woke up calling out something that I could not catch." "Who was it?" asked Stacy in a hurry to learn what the Professor was getting at. "Well, when he woke up he said his name was Ned Rector and that he was lost."
They kept us pullin' the best part of five hours before we got a chance at them. My boat was out of sight of the ship before we made fast to a regular snorer, a hundred-barreller at the least.

Upon it was mounted a broad ratchet-wheel with a crank, while into the teeth of the wheel there played a stout, elastic slab of wood. The box would be placed on the table where the snorer was sleeping and the crank turned rapidly. The racket thus produced was something terrible, and the sleeper would jump up as though a typhoon had struck the laboratory.
Captain Brady had only one fault, on the trail: he was a prodigious snorer. He began to snore so loudly that the very trees quivered.
