Near us a boat grated softly on the pebbly bottom of a cove and swung in.

It is fully 70 feet wide, having a pebbly bottom; on each side grow large swamp-oaks.

So they came to a meadow brook running shallow over a pebbly bottom but some five yards wide.

We passed many rivers and rivulets, which commonly ran with a clear shallow stream over a hard pebbly bottom.

The Tweed is a clear, rippling river, with a white, pebbly bottom, just like our New England mountain streams.

Its waters are very clear, and it has a pebbly bottom and is shallow for some distance out from the shores.

The current was swift and strong, but with the pebbly bottom to give good footing 'twas possible to stem it slowly.

We might at times fancy ourselves but a few feet from the pebbly bottom, each stone showing its bright clear outline.

At the bottom was a green grassy sward with a pure bright stream running rapidly through it, over a clear, pebbly bottom.

The river runs low with August drought, and frets upon the pebbly bottom with a soft, low murmur, as of joyousness gone by.

Above the point of disappearance, the valley has all the aspect of the dry bed of a river, with its sloping banks and pebbly bottom.

'How far now?' Nish asked as they were taking breakfast by a stream whose pebbly bottom was perfectly clear.
