Ark of Time

- A Basic WalkThru - by Mary McBride

Note: This walk-thru is written from my notes, after playing the
game just one time thru. I did *not* play it again to de-bug walk-
thru (so I may have missed a detail) or to see if a more efficient
approach were possible, i.e., if more could be done at a location
at one time. This walk-thru reflects the way I played the game and
the way I made discoveries, as I played.

Island. Talk to painter and get cup. Go Right to museum. Try to
