— The small lake in western Newfoundland was named Bottomless Pond for a good reason. That’s when water levels started rising, and the five cabins and two converted school buses around the lake were eventually flooded and carried away. “The two buses are nowhere to be seen,” cabin owner Mark Hoyles said in an interview Thursday from nearby Deer Lake. As a result, it would appear the lake’s natural drainage through the limestone has been plugged, and the water has nowhere to go but up. “If the pond drained fast, nobody would know where the water would go to,” said Hoyles.
