Rafters creaked ominously as the storm battered the old barn all night.

Rafter visited the old bookstore every Sunday.

The raftswomen guided their overloaded raft through the roaring rapids, drawing admiring cheers from the onlookers.

They salvaged a raftload of driftwood after the storm.

The experienced raftswoman guided the tourists down the narrow river with steady hands.

After the storm, the river carried raftloads of driftwood down to the bay.

Rafterys gathered on the bluff at sunset to watch the fishing boats return.

Raftery offered to help organize the community garden this weekend.

During the storm, my raftmates and I lashed ourselves to the logs and waited for dawn.

The storm had left a raftlike mass of debris tangled in the cove.
