The breeze quickly strengthened, and abruptly veered round, and the men of the squadron watched with growing dread as the dark clouds bounded down on them like foaming ravenous beasts.

The breeze veered in a black squall soon after you had turned in, and began to blow from west by south in the morning watch; and I believe it may haul north of west.

'The breeze is veering again,' said the first.

Fortunately the breeze is veering, and I do not think you will have to pull back.

Was there any chance that this present northerly breeze would freshen and veer to, say, east-north-east, even if it would not veer the whole eight points and set in from the east?

The breeze had slowly veered from north to west and dropped until it barely fluttered the flag on the stern of the boat.

As the breeze gusted and veered he could hear laughter from the Spartan camp, and hear the whinnying of their horses picketed beyond the fires.

Beyond that, over another wooded ridge, unseen and heard only on occasion when the breeze veered from that direction, was the main road north.

The rain abated, and the freshening breeze veered into the north, bringing with it the spicy odour of the desert, which was still not far off.

Abruptly the northern breeze veered due south: a pause on the uneasy sea while the darkness raced across the sky.
