"All leaped to their feet......not to the raft-men of the king"
Why do you think the Master chose to beileve the dwarves, these random strangers who say their related to Thror, instead of the elves, who have been there a while? What caused him to make that decision?

He wasn't quite sure if he should believe them, but just in case Thorin really was as important as he said, he helped them.

The rest of the lake-men are estatic about the return of the son of Thror and they start to sing songs from when Smaug was still new at the montain.

I think because they really had no other choice than to believe them and even if they weren't they did no damage to lake-town.

Well, I don't think the Master really ever believed that Thorin was the grandson of Thror because on page 200 it says, "Then for the first time the Master was suprised and a little frightened: and he wondered if Thorin was really after all a descendant of the old kings. He never thought the dwarves would actually dare approach Smaug, but believed they were frauds who would sooner or later be discoveredand be turned out." But I think the reason he does agree to help them is because he thought if they ever did defeat Smaug and get treasure, they might give some to him, and because he might have been afraid of what would have happened to him if he refused to help somebody so highly thought of by the townspeople, because all of the men that live there are very supportive of Bilbo and the dwarves, and the men might have tried to rebel against the king if he did something like that.
