Rescuing Papa

1. The object is to render the beast incapable of biting you.
2. There are two ways, actually.
3. One way involves the garter. Go to Clue H for that solution.
4. Another way involves the laudanum you found in the Crew's Quarters.
5. You'll have to feed the crocodile something that has been doped with laudanum. Food would be best.
6. There's something edible (to crocodiles) in the bottom of the cask in which you floated to shore.
7. SQUEEZE THE LAUDANUM ON THE PORK. FEED THE PORK TO THE CROCODILE.
8. The first clue for the alternate solution requires a brief foray into zoology: Crocodiles, while able to snap a log in two with their jaws, have weak muscles for opening those very same jaws. Thus, a strong man is capable of holding their jaws shut with his bare hands.
9. Since you are neither a strong man nor able to sit around holding closed the monster's mouth, you have to find something else able to hold it shut for you.
10. The garter is a likely candidate.
