2 of 9: You need to find the three oarlocks that go into those holes.
3 of 9: One of them is in the office, setting right out in the open.
4 of 9: Look for it to the right of the office doors, on the small table with the candlestick.
5 of 9: The other two oarlocks aren't anywhere in the office. To find out why, return to the classroom and read the letter that's in the open drawer of the teacher's desk.
