At two in the morning the boat's bow touched the beach of our own inner cove and I staggered out to make the painter fast.

The bow touched ground, carved its way into the muddy river bank.

The bow he touched parted at the impact, and slid, still formed, after his withdrawing fingers.

It halted an instant before its bow touched the edge of the opposite wharf.

Newman awoke with a start as the bow of the boat touched the shore.

Then the bows touched and we were splashing ashore.

The bow of theship swung in; nosed through the foliage; touched the bank.

As the bows touched the sand he leaped out and waded ashore.

For several minutes the bow of the pursuing American boat almost touched the Italian boat's stern.

The bows touched the rock and I reached out to it, gripping the wet surface with my fingers and hauling myself along.
