| Howard's mind clung to her voice as a drowning man clings to a piece of flotsam from a ship-wreck. |
| Insects and worms hitchhike the ocean on bits of flotsam, coming ashore wherever the winds and currents take them. |
| Memories were surfacing in his mind, like flotsam from a shipwreck, drawn upwards from the deep. |
| The vision of her body, flotsam on the water, is at once both corpse-like and strangely beautiful. |
| But being seen in the shimmering waters, when you're but a speck of flotsam to a passing ship, was never a sure bet. |
| The first day was clear of contacts, but we saw a lot of flotsam, tree trunks, containers washed off ships, etc. |
