Puzzle Picture Number 10

[Ann]

1. "Come, Mrs Rogers, quick! Jump in!"
2. The sailors cried - but through the din
3. "Goodbye!" she cried, as from a tomb,
4. "The boat would sink - there is no room."
5. Then she of such a generous heart
6. Was seen, with hands outstretched, apart,
7. Crying aloud, "Lord have me - have me!"
8. And then the ship (oh, destiny!)
9. Sank 'neath her feet and drawn was she
10. Into the caverns of the sea,
11. Her life for many lives was given
12. And sure her sweet soul found its heaven,
13. While waters clean her corpse bespread
14. Until the sea gives up its dead.

[PAWS]

1. Comes Mrs Rogers . . . (?)
2. The sailors . . dashing but through the . . .

(Interrupted for domestic duties - back later)

[PAWS]

5. Then she of such a generous heart
8. And then the ship . .
9. Sank 'neath her feet and [?drawn?] was she
10. Into the cavern . .
11. Her life for many lives was [?given?]

[Ann]

That's got us off to a good start! This looks like another tricky one.

If those 3 men in line 11 are Magi, you can just about get given from it, so I think you're right.

[PAWS]

Line 4 - qu'est-ce que c'est? Looks like an ink bottle. And is that the same building as in Puzzle 8?

[Ann]

It says Tarling's Jet Black on the side, so I think it's an ink bottle. And yes, if the footprints are anything to go by, I think the building is meant to signify snow. It's the trees that are puzzling me. I've got as far as

The boat...............sink, there is no room.

It doesn't seem to make a lot of sense though.

[Cathrin]

Line 4: The boat, oak wood sink ....
Line 6: Was sell .... hands ... rack ... ?
Line 7: Face .... Lord have me
Line 10: Into the carernous

Line 14 Tilting ?

[Ann]

This is another hard one!

How about "Was seen with hands outstretched apart" for line 6.

Cathrin, I hadn't thought about tilting in line 14, but in the context of the boat tilting as it sank, it sounds good!

[boheme]

Good grief! I go away for a few days and when I come back, you're already on puzzle # 10 !!!!!

[PAWS]

3. No good . . .

OR
3. Goodbye she cried as from . . .
4. The boat would sink, there is no room

[Cathrin]

Just had a thought, could it be 'Listing' instead of 'Tilting'
both of which are valid terms for jousting
also that would make sense if they are rocks further along the line.

Now in line 13 are they talking about the arches or the pews? and the next picture is a gothic wall mounted fountain with either a gargole or frog face from which the water comes out.

now am I trying to hard LOL

[PAWS]

12. And sure . . . soul . . . heaven
13. While . . .
14. . . . the sea gives u . . . dead.

[Cathrin]

Well normally the saying is ' the sea gives up its dead'

but I can't see how that fits.

[Ann]

I think I've added all the suggestions.

Cathrin, I think you've cracked the end of line 14, that lake thing is a pit!

Is that thing in line 13 a pump? Don't seamen "man the pumps", or am I thinking of something else?

You're also right about "tilting". I've just realised that the clue is saying remove the "ing", giving '"'Til the sea.........."

[Cathrin]

Yep, 'Til the sea gives up its dead' thats the line I was looking for ;D

Yep, they did 'Man the pumps' but the 'man' in our picture has an 'h' on his coat.

13. While pumps ... doesn't seem to scan though
