At sea, I should not have been two minutes in my hammock before I had fallen asleep, but the howling and shrieking wind sounded very different on shore, and seemed to make its way through every chink and crevice, producing all sorts of strange sounds, a mingling of moanings, shriekings, whistlings, and howlings.
Once in a lifetime, perhaps, he may see them gather in a close circle tails together, heads out, like the spokes of a wheel, and so go to sleep for the night. Their soft whistlings and chirpings at such times form the most delightful sound one ever hears in the woods. This call of the male bird is not difficult to imitate.
A great clapping of hands and stamping of feet followed, and there were several catcalls and whistlings from the pit and gallery. Almost every member of the audience was provided with a programme headed, 'Grand Annual Pantomime: the Conspiracy, and containing a list of the performers. Attendants were also moving about hawking librettos of the dialogue.
I say, 'We will lay hold of ANY and EVERY abuse, as soon as it presents itself, and WILL SMASH IT." Applause, cheers, whistlings a demonstration lasting nearly five minutes by a watch held by Gamaliel Tooker, who had a mania for gathering records of all kinds and who had voted for every Republican candidate for President since the party was founded.

From the Volga were wafted the whistlings of steamers, the dull beating of the wheels upon the water, the shouting of the loaders life was moving onward unceasingly and unquestionably. Summoning the waiter with a nod Yakov Tarasovich asked him with peculiar intensity and impressiveness, "How much do I owe for all this?"
It was a fine spectacle, a little alarming, these fires in the sky that the heavy rain could not put out these continuous discharges from the clouds, in which were mingled the strident whistlings of our locomotive as we passed through the stations of Yanlu, Youn Tcheng, Houlan-Sien and Da-Tsching.
Generally, if the Emperor has not given or participated in the signal for mercy, scattered individuals among the proletariat proclaim their disappointment by booing, cat-calls, or strident whistlings.
And as he lay there panting and trembling, and listened to the whistlings and the patterings outside, he knew it at last, in all its fullness, that dread thing which other little dwellers in field and hedgerow had encountered here, and known as their darkest moment that thing which the Rat had vainly tried to shield him from the Terror of the Wild Wood!
Their whistlings and the vibration of their dynamos make an intolerable noise. How shall I find a quiet place for my dahabiya, where the functionaries of Messrs. Cook will not come to disturb me? We can now see nothing of the palaces of Thebes, whither I am to repair in the evening. We are farther from them than we were last night.
