Ice Ledge

A sumptuous expanse of linen exhibited itself between the lapels of his low-cut waistcoat, and an inch of bediamonded breastpin glittered there, like an ice-ledge on a snowy mountain side. ❋ Booth Tarkington (1907)

Then he mounted a neighbouring ice-ledge, and saw at a glance that their case had become desperate. ❋ Unknown (1859)

Being now afraid of the ice-ledge, they attempted to find a path along the face of the cliff; but failing in this, Morton determined to leave part of the provisions in "_cache_," and proceed with a lighter load. ❋ Unknown (1859)

The cape round which they were travelling, and on the other side of which lay the open water, was extremely bold, and the ice-ledge at the end of it was barely three feet wide; so they were obliged to unloose the dogs, and drive them forward alone, then tilted the sledge on one runner, and thus pushed it past the worst place. ❋ Unknown (1859)

That bear either understood English, or the very sound of the human voice caused it irritation, for it turned and rushed at the ice-ledge with such fury that Benjy's heart again leaped into his throat. ❋ Unknown (1859)
