And with these evidences of the antiquity of this once famous 

 house, and the traditions of its connection with the history of 

 King Arthur, may we not fancy that the creek of Carminow on 

 the Loe Pool was the scene of the tragic and mystic ending of 

 that King's life, and that the waters of the Loe received his 

 sword Excalibur when cast into the lake by his faithful Knight 

 Sir Bedivere, and bore the dying King in the phantom barge 

 softly and silently to the realms of the dead ?
