Bland, now sixty, with a snug deposit in a savings bank, to which he added 5,800 pounds, by the sale of the Cardiff property, making 11,000 pounds for a grand total, resigned from the map making establishment and made preparations to see some of the world that he had been chart ing on paper for thirty-two years. Where to go? Why not leave it to chance? That would be an idea worth trying. Fate should decide for him, and in the dark.
