Myst Hints
What good does that information do for me?
1 of 6: If you've entered the proper dates, you should see skies that look remarkably similar to what's in the book in the library.
2 of 6: Notice that there are also pictures underneath each of the corresponding constellations in the book.
3 of 6: And those symbols can be found elsewhere on the island.
4 of 6: Try the columns outside the library. When you turn a symbol on, it will appear green any time the cursor is over it; otherwise, it will turn red.
5 of 6: The three symbols you need are the maple leaf, the snake, and the bug.
6 of 6: The ship in the well should rise now that you've entered the proper symbols.
