.GSTR STR?195,"This is the end of the Wharf Road, an east/west, two-lane road that's the island's main street. Off to the east, small businesses line the south side of the street. A winding road starts to the southwest, heading toward the lighthouse. The Red Boar Inn is to the south."

.GSTR STR?200,"Outfitters is closed."
.GSTR STR?201,"You're on the east end of Wharf Road. The Ocean Road starts here and parallels the island's east edge, heading to the southeast. The Shanty is to the south."
.GSTR STR?202,"You are at the north end of the Ocean Road, a narrow north/south road on the east edge of the island. The Wharf Road starts to the northwest, and a back alley starts off to the southwest."
.GSTR STR?203,"The rocks are too sharp and dangerous."
.GSTR STR?204,"You are halfway along the Ocean Road, with the start of an alley off to the northwest. An empty field lies to your west, and the dangerous ocean shore lies off to your east."
.GSTR STR?205,"You can't get through the weeds."
.GSTR STR?206,"This is the south end of the Ocean Road. To the southeast is a small path leading up to about 100 feet above sea level. The Ocean Road heads north, and the Shore Road starts to the southwest."
.GSTR STR?207,"You are at the west end of the east/west Shore Road, with the ferry landing to the west. To the north is an impenetrable field, while the south is bordered by the ocean. You can see the mainland in the distance."

.GSTR STR?219,"You're at the east end of an east/west alley. The back door of The Shanty is to the north, and an overgrown field is to the south. Narrow paths to the northeast and southeast lead to the Ocean Road."
.GSTR STR?220,"This is the lobby of the Red Boar Inn, a place with the charm of a two-dollar flophouse. The Wharf Road is outside, to the north, and a stairway leads up to the rooms to the south."

.GSTR STR?225,"You are at the top of the stairs in the Red Boar. Your room is to the south, and other rooms line the hall. The lighting in the hallway is dim and drab like the wallpaper and carpeting."
.GSTR STR?226,"The people in those rooms aren't interesting."
.GSTR STR?227,"You're in your room in the Red Boar Inn. It's sparsely furnished, but comfortable enough. To the north is the door, and there's a closet without a door to the west."
.GSTR STR?228,"The Weasel is rummaging through your stuff. He notices you, and before you have a chance to react, he smiles then cuts your throat."
.GSTR STR?229,"A comfortable bed sits along the wall."
.GSTR STR?230,"In a corner of the room is a lopsided wooden dresser."
.GSTR STR?231,"April 23"
.GSTR STR?232,"It's your room key."

.GSTR STR?248,"You are standing on the former site of the Outfitters International warehouse, which burned down a few months back. To the north is the Wharf Road and an alley is to the south."
.GSTR STR?249,"There's a wall in the way."

.GSTR STR?267," The canister begins to emit noxious fumes. Before you can do anything about it, you lose consciousness."
.GSTR STR?268,"These are charts for the Hardscrabble Island area."
.GSTR STR?269,"This is The Shanty, a tavern which serves the locals. A wooden bar travels the length of the place, and behind it is a mirror so dirty, it offers no reflection. Round tables occupy the floor. The smell of cooking food permeates the place."
.GSTR STR?270,"Johnny looks around and says, ""This is no place to continue. If McGinty finds out about this, we're sunk. We better meet at the lighthouse at 9:30. Glad you're aboard."""

.GSTR STR?274,"A parrot with an eyepatch hobbles up and down the bar."
.GSTR STR?275,"It sports an eyepatch and wooden leg and has been here since the bartender bought it from a sailor. It's considered insane by the local patrons."

.GSTR STR?290,"withdraw that!"
.GSTR STR?291,"September 19"
.GSTR STR?292,"deposit more than you have."
.GSTR STR?293,"You are at Point Lookout, a small, high cliff that affords a spectacular view of the sea. The cliff bottom is dangerous, so the only safe path is the northwest footpath back to the Ocean Road."
.GSTR STR?294,"If you really want to jump, say so, but do so at your own risk."
.GSTR STR?295,"Your pleasant leap is interrupted as you find yourself impaled on the jagged rocks."
.GSTR STR?296,"your money"
.GSTR STR?297,"Johnny looks disappointed. ""We need at least $500 from you. I hate to do this, but you might tell McGinty..."" Suddenly you feel a shove in the back and see the pointy rocks below rush up to meet your descent."

.GSTR STR?300,"The ferry to the mainland arrives here every two hours during the day. People are milling about. The Shore Road starts off to the east."
.GSTR STR?301,"It would help if a ship were berthed. If you want to take a dip in the ocean, you'll have to say so."

.GSTR STR?340,"You suddenly find yourself inhaling water! The airhose trailing behind must have torn, and there's no time to do anything about it!"
.GSTR STR?341,"As you descend further, Merv Griffin swims by, offering you Pittsburgh Penguin tickets. You realize too late that this is a hallucination, since Merv doesn't even like the Penguins. At this depth, narcosis takes over, and all that's left is to say bye to Merv..."

.GSTR STR?343,"the ocean floor"
.GSTR STR?344,"The large, ugly, toothy shark is headed toward you!"
.GSTR STR?345,"You are on the ocean floor. Sediment and seaweed wave slowly with the current."
.GSTR STR?346,"You are at the bow of an old, rotting wreck where a ladder leads down through a large square hole in the deck. When the ship sank, the top of one of the masts broke off and fell into the hole. What's left of the deck continues aft."
.GSTR STR?347,"You are at the bow of a steel ship that has been here for quite a while. The deck continues aft, and there is a passage leading down at your feet."
.GSTR STR?348,"This is the bow of a very empty-looking wreck. The deck continues aft."
.GSTR STR?349,"You are now aft of midships on the topmost deck. The deck continues fore and aft."
.GSTR STR?350,"You are on the narrowing aft deck of the ship, which continues forward. A hole at the base of one mast leads down."
.GSTR STR?351,"You are on the aft deck of the ship. Passengers could have gathered here to sun themselves and sip drinks. Those times are long gone. The only way to proceed is forward."
.GSTR STR?352,"You are at the stern of this wreck. The deck continues forward."

.GSTR STR?356,"lower hole"
.GSTR STR?357,"This cabin was apparently used for storage, although what's left can only be described as debris. There is an exit abaft, a doorway outlined with barnacle-encrusted timbers. There is a hole above your head through which a broken-off mast descends."
.GSTR STR?358,"This cabin seems to have been sleeping quarters. It must have been used by the crew, as it is spartanly furnished. The only ways out of this room are up and down."
.GSTR STR?359,"bug"
.GSTR STR?360,"cut it with that."
.GSTR STR?361,"the top knot"
.GSTR STR?362,"This area is full of barnacle-encrusted iron bars, probably pikes used by the sailors for fending off boarding parties. There is a plaque on one wall. Exits are fore and aft."
.GSTR STR?363,"Water rushes into the room, making you realize the value of your equipment."
.GSTR STR?364,"This heavy iron bar was probably used as a pike."
.GSTR STR?365,"plaque"
.GSTR STR?366,"fallen partition"
.GSTR STR?367,"As you return to a watery environment, you realize the value of leaving your equipment on."
.GSTR STR?368,"This was a galley or a pantry, though only the shape and size of the cabin suggest that. There are exits fore and aft."
.GSTR STR?369,"This former dining room has some tables upturned and scattered about, a door forward, a hole through the floor, and a narrow opening abaft."
.GSTR STR?370,"Amidst a stack of rotted wood is a cask that is still in one piece."
.GSTR STR?371,"climb the rope with that load."
.GSTR STR?372,"stack of rotted wood"
.GSTR STR?373,"bunch of overturned tables"
.GSTR STR?374,"As you begin to move, you suddenly find yourself breathing water! Your airhose tore on some of the sharper debris."
.GSTR STR?375,"The settling of debris has left a very narrow passage through this cabin. You can go forward or aft."
.GSTR STR?376," wedged under the bunks."
.GSTR STR?377,"debris"
.GSTR STR?378,"You are in a bunk-lined cabin. The forward bulkhead has an open doorway in it, and a ladder leads down through the deck. The rotting interior of the hull lies aft."
