The carpenter here burst out with an extraordinary peal of laughter. It was so very peculiar, that, once heard, it would always be identified with the person making it. This singular laugh consisted of a brilliant stacatto passage on a high key, interrupted by occasional snorts, and terminating with a slur which covered the whole descending octave. It was also very loud and very long.
He might have said something civil and conventional about that, but did not make the effort to invade a reserve which appeared to embarrass nobody. A stacatto note from the dog, prolonged infinitely in hysterical crescendo, demanded comment from somebody. "What is the matter with him, Flynn?" she asked. Siward said: "You should let him run, Miss Landis."
For this you must prepare a different pig, for this is for the sons and servants of Kadaklan." After the departure of these beings, ten other spirits came in quick succession. Two of the latter claimed to be Igorot spirits, and both talked with the peculiar stacatto accent of the people who live along the Kalinga-Igorot border.

This time his guns were not silenced, and those passing the study door could hear a steady rumble like heavy firing afar off, and in the intervals lighter shots, as though a gatling gun were popping its stacatto fire. Ultimately the heavy gun silenced the gatling.
It was his keen nostril and eye that was wont first to know who came; his superb strength and speed carried him well in the lead and he guarded his supremacy jealously. His sharp teeth snapped viciously when a hardy son ran close at his side and the youngster, though he snarled and bristled, swerved widely and thus fell back. They barked as they swept on, the sharp, stacatto bark of their breed.
