I could not have been asleep many minutes when I felt sensible of a strange noise, like distant thunder, or the roaring of a waterfall.
À peine avais-je sommeillé quelques minutes que j'entendis un bruit étrange, quelque chose d'analogue à un tonnerre lointain ou au mugissement d'une cataracte.

He himself quickly jumped aside, and as the Republicans rushed in, there came, from the darkness of the yard, a stream of fire and a hail of bullets, which swept through the gaping porch with a roar as of thunder.
