 "The man in the water saw the eye of the man on the bridge gazing into his own thorugh the sights of the rifle. He observed that it was a gray eye and remembered having read that gray eyes were keenest, and that all famous marksmen had them." Another super human occurrence. Farquhar was being pushed down the river with a strong current and somehow saw the color of a mans eyes and remembered a random fact he read about gray eyes from some time before. This was part of the story I definitely remember reading and thinking about a little bit but I still didn't think about it being nearly impossible which is weird.
 "As he is about to clasp her he feels a stunning blow upon the back of the neck: a blinding white light blazes all about him with a sound like the shock of a cannon-then all is darkness and silence." (page 19) I was just thinking about the feelings he had right before he died. Why did he feel a blow on his neck and why was there a blinding light? I assume the light was because a lot of people think when you die its all dark and then light, or light and then dark. What are your thoughts?
