Zork III: The Dungeon Master Hints
Whenever I swim in the lake, I lose all my inventory!
1 of 7: Yep.
2 of 7: At least you can get it back, though, once your body has adjusted to the temperature.
3 of 7: It appears that all of your inventory sank.
4 of 7: So go down to retrieve it. (You can just type DOWN.)
5 of 7: Sometimes items will slip out of your hands, but that's just the result of a random event, so try again and you should be able to get them.
6 of 7: Although you can get some items back, I'm afraid that there's nothing you can do to save any light source.
7 of 7: So just drop any light source (like the lantern or the torch) before you enter the lake. You can always reclaim it on the way out.
