Scaling the walls, the two involuntarily stood for an instant gazing upon the scene. The gray light of the dawn showed the crowded houses and thronged ships with a haggard distinctness. "Spike and hammer, lad; so, now follow me along, as I go, and give me a spike for every cannon. I'll tongue-tie the thunderers. Speak no more!" and he spiked the first gun. "Be a mute," and he spiked the second.
What Cherubim has left the quire in heaven And warbles peacefull Anthems to the earth? It is her voyce, that to all eares speakes health, Only to mine. Come charitable mist Hide me, or freindly wherlewind rap me hence, Or her next accent, like the thunderers, will Strike me to dust. Bel.
"It's a pity you can't lay the theological thunderers on the doorstep to drive stray De Meurons off. Then you could come in and take this chair yourself," I answered, sitting back where no visitor could see me. But Mr. Sutherland did not hear. He was deep in polemics, rolling out stout threats, that used Scriptural texts as a cudgel, with a zest that testified enjoyment.
The whistle would have sounded, the doors would have all been locked, the guard would have given his warning signal, when in would come at hurricane speed Smith's cart bearing its load of "Thunderers". Ready hands would seize the papers, and the last packet would perchance be thrown in as the train was already steaming out of the station.
The practical Hollanders were more inclined to leave silk farthingales and brocaded petticoats to be dealt with by thunderers from the pulpit or indignant fathers of families.

For in my ears the Seven Chiefs are whispering The Thunderers. And Tamanund must hear my speech and read my heart. And the long roll of our Mohican dead must be recited here and alone by me the only one who has that right since Uncas died and the Mohican priesthood ended, save for the Sagamores of the Magic Clan. "Go, now, my brother. Go in peace."
If there were a next world, my friend," and here he placed his hand familiarly on his guest's shoulder, while the bright, steel-gray under-gleam sparkled in his splendid eyes "'twould be worth dwelling in for the sake of Hyspiros, as grand a god as any of the Thunderers in the empyrean!"
He had merely REMEMBERED it.. drawn it forth again, as it were, from the dim, deep vistas of past deeds; so those who had reviewed it as the production of one dead in youth, were right in their judgment, though they did not know it! ... It was old, nothing but repetition, but now he had something new and true and passionate to say, . . something that, if God pleased, it should be his to utter with the clearness and forcibleness common to the Greek thunderers of yore, who spoke out what was in them, grandly, simply, and with the fearless majesty of thought that reeked nothing of opinions.
"We should never fear the loud voices of the Thunderers, for they are always good and kind. "They are the war chiefs of the world. When we see the rainbow, we catch a glimpse of the splendid robes they wear. "In the middle of their great lodge burns the sacred fire, which they guard for all the people of the earth." "I will never be afraid again when I hear them speaking," said White Cloud.
