"Yes yes, I will. You put yours on." We had them adjusted in a moment. Our Erentz motors were pumping. I gripped her. "Put out your helmet light." She extinguished it. I handed her my projector. "Hold it a moment. I'm going to take that belt of bombs." The trap door was all but broken under the ramming blows of the men.
An effective and reliable means of combating or frustrating a dirigible attack, other than by gun-fire or resort to the drastic remedy of ramming the enemy, has yet to be devised. In a previous chapter the various methods of signalling between the ground and the airman aloft have been described.
Yet he was in no sense balked of his purpose. He faced about, breathless from his lifting and ramming, and Raven saw how intense was the passion in him: witnessed by the whiteness of his face, the burning of his eyes. "I come up here," said Tenney, "after my gun. You can git it for me an' save your door." Raven paid no attention to this. "You'd better come along down," he said.
It has made my neck stiff, that's all." "That's enough," said Aggie. "If I've got to seek pleasure by ramming my spinal column up into my skull and crowding my brains, I'll stay at home."

But all that is gone in a few weeks, and the wild winter locks down again on the land; while at sea the ice tears up and down the offing, jamming and ramming, and splitting and hitting, and pounding and grounding, till it all freezes together, ten feet thick, from the land outward to deep water.
"I didn't make the conditions that are here. I have to accept them. The government establishes forest reserves on the range. No use ramming my head against a stone wall.

Massive catheads projected far enough to rip away the upper works of an enemy, while the bronze beak at the waterline drove into her hull. This beak, or ram, was constructed of a core of timber heavily sheathed with bronze, presenting three teeth.
"Now," cried Mr Brymer, ramming down the tiller, and as we glided round the stern I cried "We are going to stay close by, Miss Denning." "Keep off!" roared Jarette, and he fired again.
