blockhouse

Rigg pointed out a blockhouse on the bluff overlooking the beach, saying they could expect menacing fire from that area.

Much of the enemy firing, Liebling surmised, seemed to be coming from the blockhouse on the right that Rigg had singled out.

There seemed to be a blockhouse on shore, and a kind of earthwork, near which was a flagstaff, but no flag was exhibited.

The sunset rays pouring through the ports on the west side of the blockhouse slowly faded, leaving the main room dark.

All together they ran at the blockhouse door, the glowing, smoking tip of the log in the forefront.

In the aftermath of the cannon's roar came whoops of delight from nearly a hundred small boys in the blockhouse.

Then they set fire to arrows and shot them at the blockhouse, and they all rushed in through the front gate.
