Hi Pamela,
I have a saved game that I can send you which is just before pulling the tongue for the last time so that you can see the island come down. I looked for written info about the specifics of this puzzle beyond the walkthroughs, but could not find any. Send me an email and I will send you the saved game and instructions.
Cheers,
Bill
