One of the boats had a whistle that sounded as if you'd begin to holler down real low and then let your voice rise gradual till you yelled out jest as loud as you could, and then died down your yell agin real low. It sounded curous. I hearn it wuz tryin' to raise and fall the eight notes, and it riz and fell 'em I should judge.
He ran downstairs, breaking into a whistle on the way, and Galt, after a moment's hesitation, took up his hat and followed him. He had an appointment with Burr's campaign manager, who had his headquarters at the Royal Hotel. It was there that Galt found him, holding a jubilant gathering in his rooms.
Anna-Felicitas was staring much too thoughtfully at the deepening gloom of the late afternoon sky and the rubbish brooding on the face of the waters, and she had jumped rather excessively when the St. Luke stopped so suddenly, just as if it were putting on the brake hard, and emitted that agonized whistle.
Ned had disappeared. There were the signs of a struggle, the fish rod was broken in several places, as if Ned had used it as a club, and the ground was torn up. "Bless my tin whistle!" cried Mr. Damon. "What shall we do?" For a moment no one knew what to say, then, as they looked at each other in silence, a voice called: "I say! What's up? What's the matter? Where are you all? Hey, Tom Swift!"
She had even dropped several hundred yards when the sound of a whistle attracted the attention of Uncle Prudent and Phil Evans. It was a train on the Pacific Railway on the road to Salt Lake City. And then, in obedience to an order secretly given, the "Albatross" dropped still lower so as to chase the train, which was going at full speed. She was immediately sighted.
But the travellers, who go swiftly along the road with their burden of fruit, often sing delightfully in chorus for the greater part of the way, so that what is really a task of great toil seems almost transformed into a cheerful excursion. Indian soldiers on the march are sometimes allowed to sing as they go, or occasionally to whistle, which has a delightful effect.
"Truly thy head will never save thy heels; but here's a riddle for thee: Riddle me riddle me re, Four big brothers are we; We gather the fruit, but climb never a tree. Who are they?" "Four tall robbers, I suppose," said the other. "Tush!" cried his comrade. "They are the four winds; and when they whistle, down falls the ripest.
The little boat moved un easily from left to right, backed, yawed again, went ahead, and at last the gray blunt gun's nose was held as straight as a rifle-barrel on the mark indicated. Then Mr. Davies allowed the whistle to speak as it is not allowed to speak in Her Majesty's service on account of waste of steam.
The very moment the horses were turning out to pass the machine, and the space was barely sufficient between the machine and the bank a heedless man blew three awful blasts on his steam whistle to call his aids.
When, in the evening, as he sat moodily at his window, he would hear Claudet whistle to his dog, and hurry off in the direction of La Thuiliere, he would say to himself: "He is going to keep an appointment with Reine." Then a feeling of blind rage would overpower him; he felt tempted to leave his room and follow his rival secretly a moment afterward he would be ashamed of his meanness.
