millrace

On the starboard quarter they caught a confused rushing noise, like the subdued murmur of a millrace.

Moss and grass on a millwheel in the Midi are no surer signs of abandonment and disuse than a dry millrace.

The crowd caught and bore them both along like chips in a millrace, keeping the interval constant.

Mechanically the lad walked along the millrace, which was made of hewn boards and hollow logs.

The tide was going like a millrace, and the solemn roar of the vast stream made very terrible music in the dark.
