The rock he had thrown obviously bounded into another cavern, and all his knowledge (limited though it was) told him that only possibility lay beyond that frothing liquid maelstrom.

Unfortunately the water caught him, hit him, pounded him with a force he had heretofore not imagined. It slammed him down the thin hole upon the floor of the mist-covered chamber and he fell, fell, fell towards a larger body of water. Fred fell some fifty feet until he hit the surface of a lake...ow! His body seemed to almost bounce off the lake...almost.
