PLEURBURGH- whistle- WHEN/HOW? HELP

[sunshinegold]

I have been attacked by the panther so many times that I think I am out of blood :

I get the whistle but don't seem to know how to use it or when to use it :

I tried getting the whistle before/during and after 'you hear something' but nothing works. In the walkthru it says to INTERACT with whistle not to try to use it on panther. I have the whistle and try to use on Jake but I still get killed.

Also it says the panther ONLY emerges during evenings when it's dark.  Can I do something else and come back during the day

Can someone help me please!!!!! :'( :

I don't remember well, but I think it has to do with using the USE icon in the inventory window.

Thanks for answering so fast.  I guess I was very lucky that you were on line.  I sure would like to continue this game tonight.  I've been at it for about a week now.

I'm pretty sure you're right,  you say USE. I go and TAKE the whistle from inventory but I can't figure out how to use it.
