A pink and blue June morning found me at Bradgate looking from the Griffin Hotel over a smooth sea to the lightship on the Cock sands which seemed the size of a bell-buoy. ❋ Unknown (2005)
Some day I hope to hear the poem chanted or sung-with the bell-buoy breaking in out of the distance. ❋ Unknown (2003)
Everyone who was there can still hear the old bell-buoy at Swakopmund. ❋ Eric Moore Ritchie (N/A)
Hence the whistling-buoy is used in roadsteads and the open sea, while the bell-buoy is preferred in harbors, rivers, and the like, where the sound-range needed is shorter, and smoother water usually obtains. ❋ Various (N/A)
For the rest we had no change from the perpetual sound of the sea and the mournful note of the bell-buoy that marks the inshore shoal. ❋ Eric Moore Ritchie (N/A)
Farther to the north it widened a little with the curve of the shore, and through a swaying curtain of rain I could follow it to a point we called the Notch, near the entrance of the Cat's Mouth; of late years they have dredged the channel and moored a bell-buoy off this headland. ❋ Various (N/A)
_ -- The bell-boat, which is at most a clumsy contrivance, liable to be upset in heavy weather, costly to build, hard to handle, and difficult to keep in repair, has been superseded by the Brown bell-buoy, which was invented by the officer of the lighthouse establishment whose name it bears. ❋ Various (N/A)
Manacles themselves foam yonder with perpetual menace, their bell-buoy sounding a dismal but quite insufficient warning. ❋ Unknown (N/A)
Like the whistling-buoy, the bell-buoy sounds the loudest when the sea is the roughest, but the bell-buoy is adapted to shoal water, where the whistling-buoy could not ride; and, if there is any motion to the sea, the bell-buoy will make some sound. ❋ Various (N/A)
The apparatus consists of a bell designed to ring either pneumatically from a lightship, electrically from the shore (the bell itself being a tripod at the bottom of the sea), automatically from a floating bell-buoy, or by hand from a ship or boat. ❋ Lawrence Beesley (1922)
At high tide these would not show, but they were there, always guarding, always bare-toothed, and as far again beyond them a bell-buoy mounted on a similar ledge seemed to point to the existence of a double barrier. ❋ Josephine Dodge Daskam Bacon (1918)
A PINK and blue June morning found me at Bradgate looking from the Griffin Hotel over a smooth sea to the lightship on the Cock sands which seemed the size of a bell-buoy. ❋ Unknown (1915)
We lay till morning, and there was only the fog, and ourselves, and a bell-buoy somewhere which tolled dolefully. ❋ Unknown (1915)
But he could feel it emerging from the mist just as a pilot sights the bell-buoy that marks his changing channel. ❋ Arthur Stringer (1912)
It must be on the turn, for as she stood, there came the deep, tolling note of the bell-buoy. ❋ Unknown (1910)
Then to her surprise she heard his voice, deep and sonorous as the bell-buoy that was moored by the Spear Point Reef. ❋ Unknown (1910)
And from beyond the Spear Point there sounded the deep tolling of the bell-buoy as it rocked on the rising tide. ❋ Unknown (1910)
That light shone towards him now, casting a weird radiance across the tossing water, and as if in accompaniment to the warning gleam he heard the deep toll of the bell-buoy that rocked upon the swell. ❋ Unknown (1910)
You'll hear the bell-buoy tolling when there's a swell like that. ❋ Unknown (1910)
