I just e-mailed AlphaDawg. Keep in mind that I'm not sure if he's still active on ZC forums or if he still uses that e-mail address.

All I can suggest right now is to just go to Level 3, get the Whistle, then come back to finish Level 2.

You downloaded it from the ZC web site, so you should be getting the complete and official final version of this quest. But I'm not sure why you're still getting a Digdogger in that room and not a Gohma like I get--unless you're using something like version 2.11 of Zelda Classic.

Don't worry about my mention of all those Patras. I think that was on a download of this quest on another web page.
