The feet of the horses made a sucking sound on the oozy ground.

We anchored in thirty-eight fathom water, good oozy ground.

At last the sound of horses' feet were heard on the wet, oozy ground without.

Above there is a thin crust of snow, but under the leaves the oozy ground is still soft.

We instantly let go our anchor, being in a rapid current or tide-way, in seventeen fathoms upon oozy ground.

At seven o'clock in the evening we anchored in thirty-five fathom, about two leagues from an island, good soft oozy ground.
