But combined with what I posted above, we can conclude at least one thing: the sea is not completely deserted Yes, but likely, there is something which might eventually maybe even bring the Ring to Sauron? Or how else to read this remark? Considering the opposition water X evil, which is very strong in all Tolkien's works, it seems unlikely that there would be really Sauron's or Morgoth's monsters down there - rather, I would think there may be something like Gollum, which could eventually bring the Ring to Sauron... and as for the "voices terrible to mortal ears" and the things that have these voices, I am inclined to believe in some kind of creatures which are not necessarily evil, but it will be advisable for the "dry-walkers" not to meddle with them - something like, for example, Huorns.
