The sound he heard was like a long halloo, a cry like the cry of a man, but wild and shrill, like a bird's cry; and whenever that cry was uttered, it was followed by a strange confused noise as of the neighing of many horses.

A succeeding blankness of mind awoke to the clip-clop of hoofs and her father's cheery halloo.

Why, halloo to me, and I will answer thee.

And everywhere we come, I hear some halloo, And yet it is our haps to meet with none.

Zounds, now I hear four halloo at the least!

I do hear one halloo.

I hear some halloo here about the fields: Then here I'll set my torch upon this hill, Whose light shall beacon-like conduct them to it; They that have lost their way, seeing a light, For it may be seen far off in the night, Will come to it.

Presently his voice was heard in a sort of halloo.

I leapt upon the gate, an' gave a shriek of a view-halloo to the whip; in a minute the pack caught the scent again, an' the whole field came roaring past.

At the same instant a view-halloo from the dark avenue greeted him, and in spite of himself his face softened.

Once he called, and again; then at the second shout we heard the boy's shrill halloo, from some distance ahead among the trees.

O!, heyday!, halloo!, what!, indeed!, really!, surely!, humph!, hem!, good lack, good heavens, good gracious!, Ye gods!, good Lord!, good grief!, Holy cow!,

They had scarcely ridden one hundred yards when Kenton, who had dismounted, heard a loud halloo.

In a few minutes Kenton heard the crack of two rifles in quick succession, followed by a halloo, which announced the fate of his friend.

At length he was aroused from his reverie by the Indians firing off their guns, and raising the shrill scalp-halloo.

Girty instantly told Kenton it was the distress-halloo, and that they must all go instantly to the council-house.

Whisht!" Teddy paused abruptly, for he heard a prolonged but faint halloo.

"Don't halloo so loud, my fine fellow," sneeringly rejoined Mr. Stevens, "you are not entirely out of the wood yet; you are by no means as safe as you imagineyou haven't been tried yet, you have only been examined before a magistrate!

The man naturally thought the halloo was for further compulsion, under the idea that he had more to give, and on he sped with increased celerity and terror; nor is it supposed that he stopt till he got to his own house, a mile beyond Davidson's Mains.

My opinion was, that nothing could be done till night, when I might use some artifice to get them all out of the boat; but of a sudden they started up, and made to the sea-side; hereupon I ordered Friday and the Captain's mate to go over the creek, and halloo as loud as they could, and so decoying them into the woods, come round to me again.

And now remembering what had been often told me, that such was the majesty of a man's voice, as to strike terror even in the fiercest creatures, I ordered all our companions to halloo as loud as possible; and in this notion I was not altogether mistaken; for they immediately turned about upon the first halloo, and began to retire; upon which, ordering a second volley in their rear, they galloped into the woods with great precipitation.

A hundred dogs bay'd deep and strong, Clatter'd a hundred steeds along, Their peal the merry horns rung out, A hundred voices join'd the shout; With hark, and whoop, and wild halloo, No rest Benvoirlich's echoes knew.

Presently he could hear a galloping horse and a faint halloo down the valley, out of which he had just come.

" I advanced a little nearer, I had made up my mind to halloo, and had opened my lips, when a voice came from the ambulancea voice which I had heard before, and which, stupefied me with astonishment.
