Nancy Drew: Ransom of the Seven Ships Hints
Why can't I take the chest?
1 of 5: Well, two reasons.
2 of 5: For one thing, how much do you suppose a chest like that weighs? Nancy would never be able to swim back with it; she'd sink to the bottom of the first pool and be stuck there for good.
3 of 5: Secondly, this isn't the treasure the kidnappers were looking for. Ever greedy, they want the source of this treasure -- that is, the place in the Americas where El Toro got it all in the first place.
4 of 5: All they want is the map that was on top of the chest. Grab that, and you're good to go.
5 of 5: Before you go, however, notice that there's a fresh air tank in the room. Before you dive down again, fill up your air.
