From heaven a host of blue ants could be seen toiling in zigzags forward, ever forward, along the rude water-cuts and through the hills.

They stood in clusters or apart, in long lines or zigzags far up the mountain side.
"Command"
William McFee
We have had, for us, a long afternoon's ride-a little tiring and hot in the bottom of the valley when the path came down to the Taiping river,-a winding and twisting path, round little glens to cross foaming burns, level enough for a hundred yards canter, then down, and up, hill sides in zigzags, here and there wet and muddy with uncertain footing, through groves of bamboos and under splendid forest trees, some creepers hanging a hundred feet straight as plumb lines, others twisted like wrecked ships' cables, and flowering trees, with delicious scent every hundred yards or so.
