Ready for the volcano? Too bad, we're going anyway.
Check yourself! You need the lamp, tour guidebook, brick, matches, torch, wire and the egg (unless you already gave it to the Thief). Use the inventory command to see what you are carrying and then take accordingly.

Glacier Room
>throw torch at glacier
The torch hits the glacier and explodes into a great ball of flame, devouring the glacier. The water from the melting glacier rushes downstream, carrying the torch with it. In place of the glacier, there is a passageway leading west. The melting glacier seems to have carried the torch away, leaving you in the dark.
It is now pitch dark in here!
Well, so much for our infinite light source. It could have been worse. If you try to melt glacier with torch, a good portion of the ice melts, drowning you under a torrent of water. The trusty lamp is our friend.
>turn on lamp
The lamp is now on.
>west
[Ruby Room] This is a small chamber behind the remains of the great glacier. To the south and west are small passageways. On the floor lies a moby ruby.
How did those Dark Age programmers know that MobiRuby would replace Objective-C/C/Java on mobile platforms? Those guys were good!
>take ruby
Taken.
>west
[Lava Room] This is a small room, whose walls are formed by an old lava flow. There are exits here to the west and the south.
>south
[Volcano Base] You are at the bottom of a large dormant volcano. High above you light may be seen entering from the cone of the volcano. The only exit here is to the north. There is a very large and extremely heavy wicker basket with a cloth bag here. Inside the basket is a metal receptacle of some kind. Attached to the basket on the outside is a piece of wire.
The basket contains:
A receptacle.
A cloth bag.
A braided wire.
>save
Ok.
Notice there are no instructions in the basket, unlike the boat or practically everything else in the game. In the ancient version 2.6A, if you walk away from the basket and come back, or exit the game at this point and restore, a blue label (not attached to a bottle of Johnnie Walker) will be in the basket. In this version they are strangely delayed and will appear after you have figured out it is a balloon. Oh, you hadn't figured that out? Kinda slow for an adventurer, aren't you?
Well, here are the contents of the blue label, for your use. Ain't I sweet?
