River of Jewels and the Bull's-eye

Maybe it happened this way:One night on a inland some sailors came ashore on a sandy beach. They went there to cook and their ship was caring blocks of soda ash. Soda ash is used to make soap.They brought some soda ash blocks ashore to make a  fireplace. Then suddenly with no warning a sailor jumped and shouted "a river of Jewels!" When it cooled down it was Glass.

Sand + burning soda ash = Glass
Now today people that make glass are called glassblower and they make bottles and glasses.Later they make flat sheet and cut it.But people don't like the looks of broken off parts they are called Bulls Eye.They stamp a picture of the kings crown over the Bull's-eye to hide them.This glass is called crown glass.
