 Context examples 

I was going to holla after them, although it had been to little purpose, when I observed a huge creature walking after them in the sea, as fast as he could: he waded not much deeper than his knees, and took prodigious strides: but our men had the start of him half a league, and, the sea thereabouts being full of sharp-pointed rocks, the monster was not able to overtake the boat.

(Gulliver's Travels into several remote nations of the world, by Jonathan Swift)

Holla, you there!

(Mansfield Park, by Jane Austen)
