In the Miss Marple short story Ingots of Gold, Bill Higgins is a diver working for John Newman.

Raymond West met him when he visited his friend Newman who had a house in the village of Polperran in Cornwall. Newman was engaged upon a project to locate and salvage a load of gold said to be on board the Juan Fernandez, a sunken Spanish galleon off the Cornish coast. Higgins was assisting Newman in the salvage. Higgins was described as a wooden-faced individual, extremely taciturn and who spoke mainly in monosyllables.
