I am suggesting items in the cells marked by '$' in the diagrams
below:
[106] "Dangerous Rapids": (1,10) and (1,28)
[105] "The Underground River": (2,29)

It may look unbelievable, but if you jump left from the correct
places under the Fire-cells, you can take these items!

This is one of my favourite quirky features in JSW - I called it
the "WIN combination" in the days when I called Earth-cells
"wall-blocks" and Fire-cells "static nasties".
