"The Devil, or what, has disappeared from the rock." I glanced up at his words, to find them true. The sky was assuming a faint grayish tinge, as if the dawn were near. The vanishing of that spectral figure relieved us greatly, while the steady coming of daylight revived those spirits upon which the haunted night had rested grimly.
If you and her father would have me hand over the other half to you, and would have The Vanishing Cracksman disappear forever, and a useless life converted into a useful one, you have only to say so to make it an accomplished thing.
"Well, sir," said Frank, "we were just discussing the mystery of the vanishing submarines." Lord Hastings gazed at the lad in surprise. "Vanishing submarines!" he repeated. "And tell me, how did you know there were such things as vanishing submarines?" "Why, Jack told me, sir," replied Frank. "And how did you know it?" demanded Lord Hastings of Jack.

The day had almost passed when she would measure all men against Leicester in his favour; and he, knowing this clearly now, saw with haughty anxiety the gradual passing of his power, and clutched futilely at the vanishing substance. Thus it was that he now spent his strength in getting his way with the Queen in little things.
