  You get off the ladder.
  
  This little wooden dock has definitely seen better days, but still seems to be going strong. It juts into the sea from the base of a cliff. Many seagulls wheel about in the sky above.
  
  Captain Spider mills about, doing something to his boat. You
  can't tell what, but it seems to involve pushing dirt about with a rag.
  
  You can also see a ladder and a ferry here.
  
  You can only go east (to Climbing a narrow stair) from here.

  You put the fire hydrant charm on the bracelet.
  
  > take the ladder
  Taken.
  
  > go south
  This shack is built right onto the side of the cliff, physics be damned. It's rather damp, likely due to it being suspended over the sea, but otherwise it's quite nice. There are some nautical themed posters on the walls and a little window that looks
  out over the sea.
  
  You can see a bed and a rusty table here.
  
  You can only go north (to Climbing a narrow stair) from here.
  
  > drop the ladder
  Dropped.
  
  > go to the east
  This is where the paths crossing the island meet. There's not much here besides some grass and some assorted shrubbery.
  
  Elizabeth hides herself under her wide sun hat. Every time
  you look at her, she's just then turning away.
  
  There is a raft of ducks here. They seem preoccupied with
  their own internal politics and haven't any attention to spare for you.
  
  You can also see an old beeper, a gas can, a
  fishing pole (with no hook at all), a picture, a
  letter, a tomcod, a fish head, a rusty
  hook, a sign post and a tourist board here.

  > examine the board
  A rectangular sign covered in information about the island. It is all incredibly boring. For example, the lighthouse was built in 1867. Why would anyone care about that?
  
  > look at the raft of the ducks
  A small group of ducks. There appears to be a leader duck,
  and several subordinate ducks. There's an entire duck hierarchy involved here. Beyond their rigid social structure, they are ordinary looking ducks. Sort of brownish, webbed feet, other things associated with ducks.
  
  > look at the leader
  The leader of the ducks is not the largest duck. Or the smartest. Or the most attractive. The leader is the duck most willing to peck other ducks right in the face.
  
  > take the leader
  That seems to be a part of the raft of ducks.
  
  > take the ducks
  The ducks scamper out of your reach.
  
  > take the pole
  [You already have that.]
  
  > ask the ducks about the pole
  (the fishing pole (with no hook at all))
  "Quack!" quack the ducks in chorus. "Quack quack quack!" the leader quacks, trying not to be quacked over.
  
  ducks right now.
  
  > tie the sinker to the pole
  You tie the sinker to the end of your fishing line.
  
  > Bait pole with fish head
  You bait the sinker with a bit of fish head.
  
  > Cast
  You cast your fishing line into the sea.
  
  You are fishing. Wait for something to bite!
  
  > Wait
  Something tugs on your line! Reel it in!
  
  > examine the pole
  This is a basic fishing pole. You can cast it anywhere you
  find a body of water. When a fish bites, reel it in. You
  could try different hooks, just tie them on. There are also different kinds of bait. Try baiting the hook with something.
  You've cast your fishing line into the sea.
  
  > Reel
  You reel in some line. The fish is really putting up a fight! Keep reeling it in!
  
  > Reel
  You caught a bluefish!
  
  This fish is green on the back and silver on the belly. It has a stout body, a forked tail, and stripes like a tiger, except in blue. It's about a foot and a half long.
