No!" growled Joe. "I've only got two. Can't you reach down a little further and get hold of my ears, or something?" "My arms aren't spy-glasses, and they won't reach within a foot of you.

Captain von Kessel, apparently quite composed, was leaning forward, and the giant Von Halm was searching the ever-thickening fog with spy-glasses.
He had ordered all the spy-glasses on board to be brought out, and those who had opera or field glasses had been to their staterooms for them. "Isn't it time to see something, Captain Ringgold?" asked Mrs. Belgrave, to whom he had directed his steps.

We agreed, therefore, to pull up near a stream, with a knoll close to it, from which we could obtain, through our spy-glasses, a wide view across the prairie, so that we could see our enemies before they could discover us. To light a fire and cook our bear's flesh while our horses were turned loose to feed, occupied but little time.
The caricaturists made pictures of detectives scanning the country with spy-glasses, while the elephant, at their backs, stole apples out of their pockets.
