A beam from one of the enemy vessels lashed out and touched the H-16's hull.

The beam of his flashlight had touched the margin of the water.

A thin red beam licked out and touched the hatch.

As the beam touched them, concentrated upon them, they found weapons of death.

The beam touched the man at the control board; it caught him above the right ear.

Once, the beam touched one of his feet.

In moments a fine beam touched the drifting body of the Kratch, burning into its side.

The beams had not touched him there last time.
