Note
One -ing form serves every meaning of convey, so context decides which is meant: conveying water is moving it, conveying an idea is communicating it, and conveying property is transferring legal rights in it. Carrying people this way is a dated use. The old meanings of stealing or quietly managing something are obsolete, so a modern reader never hears theft in it.
