Use the spyglass 4 times when you are on top of the tower. It wont count if you skip the cinematic!

"I see... so the trick is that you need to put the LITTLE end of the spyglass up to your eye. I'll remember that piece of information."
Just click the spyglass 4 times right next to Thonk (spyglass is in your bags) and go through each cinematic and your done!

What to do
Description
The recent cataclysmic events have done more than wash a few boats onto our shore, {class}. The Southfury River has overflowed, and Durotar's entire western basin is now flooded. There are still people out there. I've been searching for a while, but haven't been able to find anything. Would you mind using my telescope and taking a look for yourself?
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Shipwreck Searching
Hey handsome, welcome back! You wouldn't mind running another errand, would you? I'd be EVER so grateful... I hear you're headed off to the shore east of here. The beach is filled with crashed ships, and those ships have gnomish tools in them... tools that I can use. See you soon, beefcake!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Watershed Patrol
My post is here on the tower, <name>, and I cannot leave it. I need someone to go out there and help the people who are still trapped in the river's overflow. Can I count on you?
