"It's coming," he gasped, turned and ran; and Compton felt no shame in running after. They flew from the dark pool and its nameless horror; but when from the height they paused breathless and gasping to look down, there was no stain, or blot, or ripple on its calm face. "Ugh!" said Compton, "it looks what it is Deadman's Pool."
This feeling was much enhanced at the time by the express between Fort Andrews and Deadman's Bay, being shot by a party of the common enemy.
It is on the east side of the point, three or four cable lengths from the main land. He said he had passed through the opening between the rock and the main land, and that it was a mile wide and tolerably clear and deep enough. After having passed Deadman's Head and this rock, we came to a small pretty sand-bay, but it lies open.
A Fairfax! Hark how the corslets ring! Why are the blacksmiths out to-day, beating those men at the spring? Ho, Willie, Hob and Cuddie! bring out your boats amain, There's a great red pool to swim them o'er, yonder in Deadman's Lane. Nay, do not cry, sweet Katie only a month afloat And then the ring and the parson, at Fairlight Church, my doat. The flower-strewn path the Press Gang!
"And those two silvery fish?" I questioned. He smiled. The anxious look vanished. "I was right," he said; "you do know us and our ways, for you are one of us.

Among other things he observed that she was often anxious when it rained. If, after a wet day, a golden streak appeared in the sky over Deadman's Bay, under a lid of cloud, her manner was joyous and her tread light. This puzzled him; and he found that if he endeavoured to encounter her at these times she shunned him stealthily and subtly, but unmistakably.
"It were a wonderful thing them days, for Father were the only Liveyer then that is, as stayed all the year round. He didn't mind being alone, and t' moving in t' schooner every spring and fall were bad for Mother. Fish were plenty every season one side or t'other of Deadman's Cape, and there was lots of fur and swiles t' winter. So he built a house in Sleepy Cove, and there us grew up!
The school clock had struck half-past four nearly a quarter of an hour ago, and by five it would be quite dark. Tea was at a quarter-past five, and for half an hour after tea boys could do as they liked. Yes, it would be foolish to throw away such a chance.
