Micawber was induced to think, on inquiry, that there might be an opening for a man of his talent in the Medway Coal Trade.
David Copperfield by Dickens, Charles View in context
But soon the course of the ship opens the entrance of the Medway, with its men-of-war moored in line, and the long wooden jetty of Port Victoria, with its few low buildings like the beginning of a hasty settlement upon a wild and unexplored shore.
The Mirror of the Sea by Conrad, Joseph View in context
On either side, the banks of the Medway, covered with cornfields and pastures, with here and there a windmill, or a distant church, stretched away as far as the eye could see, presenting a rich and varied landscape, rendered more beautiful by the changing shadows which passed swiftly across it as the thin and half-formed clouds skimmed away in the light of the morning sun.
The Posthumous Papers Of The Pickwick Club by Dickens, Charles View in context
