These facts make it clear that the murder was committed between eleven and half-past, but the pool of water near the window enables us to fix the time more accurately still, and say that he entered the room during the time the rain was at its heaviest that is, between ten minutes past and half-past eleven."
Then he hailed the other luggers. "Ahoy there!" he called. "You mind your eyes for trouble." His words caused some laughter in the other boats. In our boat, they caused the men to look around at Marah almost anxiously. He laughed and told them to stand by. Then we saw that the beach was crowded with men and horses, as at Black Pool, a week or two before.
Bad weather confined them to their camp, and a common entry in their journal refers to their having slept all night in a pool of water formed by the falling rain; their tent-cover was a worn-out leathern affair no longer capable of shedding the rain.
Sink all coffins and all hearses to one common pool! and since neither can be mine, let me then tow to pieces, while still chasing thee, though tied to thee, thou damned whale!

As ignorant as before, and now thoroughly ashamed, the wise men were silent. "Your Majesty, I can tell you, even if these men cannot. There are two vases in the pool." Two brave men leaped down into the pool. They felt around and brought up two vases, as the boy had said. Again, the lad put a question to the wise men: "What is in these vases?"
"The king ordered out his guards, and gave directions to the officers to find the hole in the lake at once. So the bed of the lake was marked out in divisions, and thoroughly examined; and in an hour or so, the hole was discovered. It was in the middle of a stone, near the centre of the lake, in the very pool where the golden plate had been found. It was a three-cornered hole, of no great size.
"Come up here on the Big Rock and see who can dive the deepest into the Smiling Pool." So Little Joe Otter and Jerry Muskrat climbed up on the Big Rock side of Billy Mink and they all stood side by side in their little brown bathing suits looking down into the Smiling Pool. "Now when I count three we'll all dive into the Smiling Pool together and see who can dive the deepest.
