Go out to the little pump island. There will be three buttons to click. Touch the one on the right and you'll hear an engine type noise that indicates that water is being drained out of the lighthouse. Go to this very same lighthouse. There's a small door above your head when you're just standing in the main room. You'll see a key on the floor. It's on a chain that moves. At this point, you ask yourself "huh?". If you turn around and look down, you'll see a set of descending stairs. The chest down there is locked, BUT you will see a drain of some sort on the left hand side of the bottom of the chest. When you turn it, water comes out. Drain the water, then turn the handle the other way to close the valve. For you young Sherlock Holmes, you now realize that a hollow, wood chest will float!
Leave and return to the pump selector area. Again touch on the third (right most) button. Return to the now flooded lighthouse and you can see the key on the floor, which opens the chest. Open the chest and remove the key that's inside it. This key opens the small door above your head!
Go up and look around. There is a generator with a crank handle. Turn it until the indicator tells you that the batteries are fully charged. Go back and choose the second (middle) button at the pump place. Return to the boat, and turn left. If you go forward six times, you'll see a small panel on the left wall. This is one way to get to a "secret" room, but don't go there yet! Keep going down the stairs. Press the button at the door and enter. This is a bedroom. To the right is a desk (You can open the drawer if you want, inside you'll see a curious looking needle). Left is a chest with drawers. There're things in some of the drawers. We're looking for drawer number four, which has the RED PAGE! Exit the room and return up the stairs.
Go to your left and down the stairs six times or clicks. Here there's a small panel located on the wall to the right. This is another way into the "secret" room. Go down the stairs all the way, open the door, and go inside the bedroom. To your left on the bed is the BLUE NOTE! If you turn around, you'll see a chest full of drawers. Open number six, which contains the other half of the VAULT NOTE! Write down its contents. Turn around, exit, and return up the stairs.
Find the telescope at the top and look into it. If you point and click on the picture, you can move it. Click and drag to the left. There are degree indicators. The three degree's without a picture of the Island are 115, 135, and 180. This will come in handy! If you haven't had to do so yet, you may want to consider going back to the generator and getting a fresh recharge for the batteries. Go back to the first (cave-like) door you entered on the boat and go down 6 times or clicks. Remember the secret panel to your left? Go into it. Walk down the hallway until you come to the open room.
If you look down, you'll recognize the rose drawing we saw in the compass. The 135 degree marking we saw in the compass correlates to this compass on the floor. Push the arrow button between South and East (135 degrees!). The lights will come on! Ahead of you is a lamp under water. Cool picture. Get all the way out and go to the pump buttons. Push the first (left) button, and go back to the cabin door. Go down all of the stairs. At this point, you'll see a table in front of you. If you click on it, the Myst book morphs out of the table. Open the book and go back home!
