Blockade Running
Blockade running is the practice of delivering cargo (food, for example) to a blockaded area. It has mainly been done by ships (called blockade runners) across ports under naval blockade. Blockade runners were typically the fastest ships available and often lightly armed and armored.
However, it is now also been done by aircraft, forming airbridges, such as over the Berlin blockade after World War II.

Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,
Sermons in stones, and good in everything.”
