bombshell

The whole of Kerguelen seemed to burst like a bomb-shell with a blaze of light shewing islands and sea.

Husband and wife should no more fight to get it than they would struggle for the possession of a lighted bomb-shell.

Meanwhile, the physician attending Mr. Langton has thrown a bomb-shell into that camp.

This bomb-shell was not, however, thrown into Mr. Benson's magazine without an immense amount of smoke and noise.

Stanton looked baffled, as his bomb shell exploded without apparent effect.
