oncoming

Another woman sprang forward and picked it up, with a chivalrous air, as if rescuing a human being from an oncoming express train.

I knew that if I were to throw it in time to save the oncoming fleet it must be done in the next few seconds, and so I tried my old rushing tactics; but I might as well have rushed a brick wall for all that Solan gave way.

The girl sat at my feet straining her eyes toward the deck of the oncoming boat.

He knew not how nor why, yet he got his feel of the oncoming event from the gods themselves.

All the Beyond was hers with its possibilities lurking rosily in the oncoming years--each year a rose of promise to be woven into an immortal chaplet.

With powerful strokes we swam out in the path of the oncoming launch.

The oncoming Harrison caught the kick squarely in the pit of the stomach, groaned involuntarily, and doubled up and sank backward to the deck.

She seemed to tower over Caswall, and he to give back before her oncoming. Once again her vigorous passes drove him to the door.

In despair, he turned and fled from the oncoming soldiery.

So close were the two canoes to one another that the black had only an opportunity to note the white face in the bow of the oncoming craft before the two touched and his own men were upon their feet, yelling like mad devils and thrusting their long spears at the occupants of the other canoe.

The black boy stood like a statue--a plum-black statue--taking no interest in the transactions of these incomprehensible whites, but dreaming with calm eyes of a certain bush village high on the jungle slopes of Malaita, with blue smoke curling up from the grass houses against the gray background of an oncoming mountain-squall.

The din became crescendo, like the roar of an oncoming train.
