Soon we could hear their footfalls as they ran and the cracking of the branches as they breasted across a bit of thicket.
Treasure Island by Stevenson, Robert Louis View in context
Whether she ran with her tall spars swinging, or breasted it with her tall spars lying over, there was always that wild song, deep like a chant, for a bass to the shrill pipe of the wind played on the sea- tops, with a punctuating crash, now and then, of a breaking wave.
The Mirror of the Sea by Conrad, Joseph View in context
As long as the sun described its daily course, the rigging was crowded with sailors, whose feet were burnt to such an extent by the heat of the deck as to render it unbearable; still the Abraham Lincoln had not yet breasted the suspected waters of the Pacific.
20,000 Leagues Under The Sea by Verne, Jules View in context
