tideway

Hushed though the voices were, each word fell distinct on her ear as the boats drew near and passed up the tideway.

Then, as the fishermen say, the tideway is ‘all of a paffle.’

This sea breeze blew true and warm all the afternoon, and when it met the ebb the tideway was all sparkling till the evening.

So without climbing out from under the high banks of the creek he splashed out into the tideway, and started back.
