HOLLIS ISLAND
by Tim S.  Mulhall 1984
℗ Teignsoft 1985

NOTES
To start, strictly follow the walkthrough until you've eaten the cheese and the 
cure, as your movements are limited. After that, you have time to explore the 
game.
There are objects that are useful but you won't need them in order to solve the 
adventure:
- the clean suit must be worn to get access to the Anchor Restaurant, but 
  there's no need to go this way
- the pouch of tobacco is for the chieftain in the chief's hut so he will let 
  you go north, but there is obviously a bug here because you can go north 
  without giving him the tobacco.
Objects which are unnecessary: pot plant, bottle of whiskey, sulphur bomb, 
cutlass.
The only object you can EXAMINE is the map.

You are now on a Magical Clearing. Whichever direction you take from here, you
have a 25 percent chance of going N, S, E, or W. Your destination is the 
Pirates Camp to the west, so you must try until you get there.

  and try again
- when you find yourself in a Clearing to the south, simply go north and try
