It was indeed a queer sight-an oblong, irregular basin of blackest slime, with here and there a sullen pool, and round the margin an irregular fringe of bulrushes. At some little distance along the bank-less than a quarter of a mile from where we were standing-a gaping crowd had gathered. All Pit End, except the men at the pumps, seemed o have turned out to stare at the bed of the vanished tarn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hats were pulled off and curtsies dropped at Wolstenholme\u2019s approach. He, meanwhile, came up smiling, with a pleasant word for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018Well,\u2019 he said, \u2018are you looking for the lake, my friends? You\u2019ll have in go down Carshalton shaft to find it! It\u2019s an ugly sight you\u2019ve come to sue, anyhow!\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018Tes an ugly soight, squoire,\u2019 replied a stalwart blacksmith in a leathern apron; \u2018but thar\u2019s summat uglier, mebbe, than the mud, ow\u2019r yonder.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018Something uglier than the mud?\u2019 Wolstenholme repeated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018Wull yo be pleased to stan\u2019 this way, squoire, an\u2019 look strite across at yon little tump o\u2019 bulrashes-doan\u2019t yo see nothin\u2019?\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I see a log of rotten timber sticking half in and half out of the mud,\u2019 said Wolstenholme; \u2018and something-a long reed, apparently . . . by love! I believe it\u2019s a fishing rod!\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018It is a fishin\u2019 rod, squoire,\u2019 said the blacksmith with rough carnesmess; \u2018an\u2019 if yon rotten timber bayn\u2019t an unburied corpse, mun I never stroike hammer on anvil agin!\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There was a buzz of acquiescence from the bystanders. \u2019Twas an unburied corpse, sure enough. Nobody doubted it..Wolstenholme made a funnel with his hands, and looked through it long and steadfastly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018It must come out, whatever it is,\u2019 he said presently. \u2018Five feet of mud, do you say? Then here\u2019s a sovereign apiece for the first two fellows who wade through it and bring that object to land!\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The blacksmith and another pulled off their shoes and stockings, turned up their trousers, and went in at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
