:                 Cutthroats solve by:Green Manalishi                :
:--------------------------------------------------------------------:

This  is probably the best infocom text adventure yet, don't ruin
you're adventure by cheating with this sheet, just  use  this  in
emergencies! 

Note:  These  are the commands needed to solve the leviathan ver.
of the game

Characters: the diver (you) - supposedly an  expert  diver,  who,
just  like everyone else on the island is waiting for his ship to
come in.. 

Johnny Red - the pirate leader. proud,  but  not  a  backstabber,
makes a good leader on the quest

Pete  the  Rat - the cook on the ship, one-eyed and fairly trust-
worthy also. 

The Weasel - the name says it all, works in a plot  to  reap  the
benefits of the expedition all by himslef. little backstabber. 

Mcginty - the owner of mcginty's salvage. Disgusting habits, self
-ish and unsure.. 'asshole'

other  characters  -  just fill in the other needed roles, can be
asked questions, but don't always answer...  -get yourself a copy
of the docs. re-written by the I.C. of Trade

Now onto the solve! 

2nd note: Many things are random in this game,  just  follow  the
