I am not sure of my power over Zog, she said at last,and for that reason I hesitate to attack him personally. Hisslaves, and his allies the sea devils, I can easily conquer; soI prefer to find a way to overcome the guards at the entrances,rather than to encounter their terrible master. But even theguards have been given strength and power by the magician,as we have already discovered; so I must procure a weaponwith which to fight them. A weapon, maam? said Capn Bill; and then he took 190 c. he Sea Fairies a jackknife from his coat pocket and opened the big blade,afterward handing it to the queen. That aint a badweapon, he announced. But it is useless in this case, she replied, smiling at theold sailors earnestness. For my purpose I must have agolden sword. Well, there s plenty of gold around this castle, saidTrot, looking around her. Even in this room there s enoughto make a hundred golden swords. But we cant melt or forge gold under water, mate, theCapn said. Why not? Dont you spose all these gold roses andthings were made under water? asked the little girl. Like enough, admitted the sailor; but I dont seehow. Just then, the gong at their door sounded and the boySacho came in, smiling and cheerful as ever. He said Zoghad sent him to inquire after their health and happiness. You may tell him that his water became a trifle too warm,so we cooled it, replied the Queen. Then they told Sachohow the boiling water had made them uncomfortable whilethey slept.
