An overwhelming shout of approval went up from the crowd.

A roar went up from the crowd, now about sixty strong and growing.

Above their heads, a roar went up from the crowd.

As he opened them a howl went up from the crowd gathered - outside again.

When he was finally spotted on the shore, a great roar went up from the crowd.

A collective sigh of envy went up from the crowd.

An announcement was made and a roar went up from the crowd.

And suddenly a cry went up from the crowd.
