By the Assoclated Press. GUILDFORD, Surrey, England, De- cember 7.—While search for the miss- ing American novelist, Agatha Clar- issa_Christie, continues throughout England, and evén on the continent, the local police are céntering/upon “Silent Pool,” which legend says is bottomless. The pool is not far from the spot where Mrs. Christie’s car was found Sunday in a hedge. She left her home in Sunningdale alone in the car late Friday night. Grabhooks on long ropes are being dragged through the murky waters of the pool, the operatians continuing day and night. “Silent Pool”.is the center of nu- merous legends, one to the effect that King John so frightened a woodcut- ter's daughter that the girl threw her- self in the pond and was drowned, her body never being recovered. The King stuck a feather in the Pank befors passing on his way, the tale continues, and this in time grew into the great bowing willows which border the pool. Mrs. Christie used this region as the locale of several stories, one in par- ticular featuring “Silent Pool” as a body of water of fascinating mystery. The police think it likely that the pool holds the answer to the novel- ist's disappearance if she is really dead. MRS. AGATHA CHRISTIE. MAYOR HAS RECORD.
