Nancy Drew: Ransom of the Seven Ships Hints

Where can I find a battery?

  • 1 of 4: Ask around.  Maybe someone else has found one.
  • 2 of 4: George hasn't, but there's one other person on this island, out at Sangre Beach.
  • 3 of 4: The beach bum, Johnny Rolle, has one, but he will only give it to you if you retrieve his beacon.
  • 4 of 4: After you found the beacon, go back to Sangre Beach and give it to Johnny.  He will give you the battery.
