Not bad, but it lacked an angle. All that intern had found on him was a name. William Matson. No address. The hell with it. Les sighed and dropped the pic into his file case. Then he stopped. His face went blank. He pulled the pic out and looked at it again.

Funchal, the capital town of the islands is situated in long. 19°. 20'. 30." in lat. 32° 37'. 40".

I meant about that time.
I went to see Madame Binetti and to give her the good news the next morning. She was very much surprised to meet me in Warsaw, and still more so at the news I gave her.
