rencounter

I was saved the agony of hearing of this rencounter before my husband came back, or I should have suffered greatly.

The rencounter came at a heavy moment, one of all moments calculated to permit its impact with the least emotional shock.

Without a thought they began a sort of challenging rencounter with horse-artillery and cavalry.

His death was occasioned by wounds which he received in the unfortunate rencounter at the Navigator's Islands.

Between these two vessels an unfortunate and silly rencounter followed.
