While waiting for slack water, in which to lift their heavy nets from the bed of the bay, the Chinese had all gone to sleep below.

The women were armed; the men carried a heavy net.

Before he could move, a tangle of heavy nets fell into the pit, blanketing him.

Despair dropped over me like a heavy, wet net.

They had already fixed a heavy net to the pulley hook which they now let down.

It wasn't summer's humidity that had settled on me like a heavy net when I came into the kitchen.

Yet she fell to work at once, dragging up fistfuls of the heavy net.

A large, heavy net rose up about them and twined itself together overhead.

Hands tried to silence my screams through the mesh of the heavy net, but even I was beyond silencing them.

They had hung heavy nets along the suspension cables all the way out to the towers.
