        You move to $verb$ down the chute, heaving your body onto the metal.  The 
   trapdoor is wide open, so you manage to ease yourself onto the slick surface   
   and $verb$!  Now you really cut loose, flying down the chute like an olympic   
   toboggan racer.

        You opened the trapdoor, getting a splinter from the rough wood, and      
   looked down.  You see that a metal slide disappears into darkness.

        It truly amazes you how many strange books you see -- books about the     
   occult, unusual medical procedures, even witchcraft.  There are also quite a   
   few books about gems and minerals, many of which appear to be quite technical  
   and complex.

        You see a small cylinder attached to the inside of the Oriental chest.    
   It rises vertically from the corner of the inside floor of the chest.  The     
   cylinder is clearly mounted to the floor of the chest.

        A small panel suddenly slides open to the side of the Chinese chest.      
   You hear a faint whirring sound.  The panel is on the outside of the chest,    
   which puzzles you.  Before you can contemplate further, a shimmering golden    
   tray slides out from the panel.  The tray clicks to a stop.

        The torch flares up for an instant, blinding you momentarily.  You hold   
   the very flammable torch away from you, extending your arm.  Soon, the torch   
   begins to burn less brightly and with less heat.  It illuminates the area      
   quite well.

        You $verb$ the boat, noticing some flat rocks a short distance away.  As  
   you secure the craft with a ragged docking rope found at the bow inside the    
   boat, you think to yourself that the flat rocks would serve well to rest upon. 
   Maybe you could even get some sleep.

        You move toward the flat rocks and, finding a comfortable one, lie down   
   to rest.  You have a blanket that is partially wet, but you begin to wrap      
   yourself in it, thinking that it will easily warm you after a short while.     
   All of a sudden, you see the figure of a man in the shadows a short distance   
   away!

        You quickly apply the surgical gauze to the man's wounds.  Blood seems to 
   be everywhere you turn.  The man groans in pain.  The gauze apparently is      
   stopping the bleeding.  With great dexterity, you finish applying the          
   necessary gauze, then wrap the man's neck with the Ace bandage.  Although the  
   procedure is less than ideal, the elastic bandage appears to be holding the    
   gauze tightly enough so that the bleeding has now stopped.  You make sure not  
   to wrap the poor fellow too tightly, so he won't suffocate.

        With great effort, you finally manage to get the heavy metal hatchway     
   open.  It creaks on metal hinges as you open it.  You push on it.  It swings   
   and crashes open, landing with a clang on the floor above.  There is now an    
   opening directly above you.

        You hoist yourself up through the hatchway.  It isn't easy, because the

MESSAGE 16
        You find that the emerald slips perfectly into the golden cylinder and    
   forms a tight fit.  There is no free play, but the gem is not jammed into the  
   cylinder either.  It seems clear that the emerald was meant to go in the       
   cylinder for some reason.

        You place the bright cylinder in the dark pyramid, being careful to slide 
   it into the round opening located on the flat top.  The cylinder fits          
   perfectly into the aperture, and you let it gently slide into the glossy dark  
   pyramidal structure.  Before long, the cylinder slides deep into the pyramid   
   and out of sight . . . .

        In a sudden flash of movement, you just saw someone disappear around a    
   corner!

        You open the metal grill to the air duct.  It quietly creaks on its       
   hinges -- then falls to the floor with a clang!  You look around, surprised at 
   the great noise the grill made, wondering if anyone heard you.                 
                                                                                  
        Now you look inside the air duct ....  A gentle subterranean draft        
   emanates from the air shaft.  The dark tunnel looms in front of you, almost    
   beckoning ....

MESSAGE 83
        You manage to pick the metal grill up off the floor and situate it back   
   where it belongs, covering the opening to the air duct.

        You place the discolored crown upon your head.  Immediately you feel      
   pain as the rusty and jagged crown pokes into your flesh.  You should have     
   looked more carefully at the sharp edges.  In a fury you take the crown        
   and hurl it across the room.  It lands with a crash and breaks into a          
   thousand pieces, then crumbles to a fine dust.

        You try to wear the scepter.  As you attempt to attach it to your         
   belt, the darn thing breaks in half, falls to the floor, then shatters         
   into a dozen pieces.  All the gems break off the scepter and strangely         
   roll into cracks on the floor, where they disappear from view.

        You swing the scepter in a graceful arc, trying to elicit its magic.      
   You begin to grin as you wield the mysterious scepter.  Suddenly there         
   is a great flash of blue light and a rushing sound.  You feel as though        
   you are being hurled a great distance ....
