FIRE ISLAND
by Holl-Soft
Walk Through by Dorothy Millard (BBC/Electron Version)
Scenario
You get talking to an old sea-dog in a dockside tavern who tells tales of daring and adventure when
he sailed with "Mad Dutch" Mike, the notorious pirate. Although he is obviously drunk,
the conviction in his voice makes you listen when he tells of a far off island here a fortune in
pearls has been hidden. You hire a ship and set sail for the island Unfortunately for you he
forgot to mention a coral reef that rings the island and you run aground in heavy seas when you
arrive
Notes
1. If you take too long the volcano erupts and the island slips beneath the sea.
