The quiet cry of the distress beacon ceased abruptly, leaving only the whisper of interstellar energy fields.

The man's cry ceased as her fingers, strong and white, unblemished and gentle, worked through his hair.

The cry ceased, and was not repeated.

The cry ceased, and his heart gave a great, painful leap.

The cry ceased with brutal suddenness.

The leadsman's musical, steady cry had ceased.

Without using any particular tactic, he threw himself at the spot where the flash had occurred, although the cry had ceased.

A sudden cry from the dog at a few yards' distance, and the barking ceased.

The thin cry came again, and ceased.
