I've retained the original formatting so you may have to adjust it to get the file to display and/or print correctly. Noisy phone lines caused the occasional glitch or truncated file. I replaced some, but not all, instances of line noise with "[ERROR]" where applicable.

treasure hunting. But first, a
word from our sponsor.
Cutthroats, like most Infocom
games, has several solutions. This
walkthru will show you one way of
completing the adventure. However,there
are others, so when you've finished,you
might want re-play the game, doing
different things,to see if you can come
up with another way of recovering the
treasures successfully.
 Also, you should be aware that you can
only recover treasures from 2 of the

Leviathan.The other wrecks are only red
herrings, and you don't have to bother
with them. Which of the two real wrecks
you will dive for depends on the item

dive itself will be pretty much the
same, so this section of the walkthru
will take you up almost to the dive
itself. After that, consult either the
Sao Vera section, or the Leviathan
section, depending on which ship you're
investigating.
 Ok! The game starts with a long lead
in, explaining how you came by the book
of shipwrecks. You will have to sit
through this on each boot-up; no way
around it. After that, the game really
begins, with you lying in bed in your
scruffy room at the Red Boar Inn. The
first thing to do is stand up,then wind
your watch (time is important in the
game, and if your watch runs down, you
can't keep track of the time).
 There's a note on the floor.Read that,
then open your dresser. Inside are the
shipwreck book, your bankbook, and a
room key. Get the key, open the door,go
out, and lock the door again. You don't
