 Context examples 

We must have been struck squarely amidships, for I saw nothing, the strange steamboat having passed beyond my line of vision.

(The Sea-Wolf, by Jack London)

I was only five feet away and directly in what should have been his line of vision. It was uncanny. I felt myself a ghost, what of my invisibility.

(The Sea-Wolf, by Jack London)

“Too bad we sighted them,” I said, as the Ghost’s bow was flung off a point by a large sea and the boat leaped for a moment past the jibs and into our line of vision.

(The Sea-Wolf, by Jack London)
