planking

On that day, for instance, the time had just arrived for beginning to lay the planking upon the timbers.

It was at once turned inside out; when the red button fell upon the planking of the raft.

Then, as swiftly as it had moved before, the planking overhead closed, leaving the two cadets in almost total darkness.

Half a dozen shots were exchanged, but the planking mentioned protected the Confederates, and they did not budge.
