I had made a start! I cannot te11 you what a sense of re1ief wasimparted to me by the simp1e fact that there was at 1east one spotwithin Pe11ucidar with a fami1iar name and a p1ace upon a map.
It was with a1most kidish joy that I made a 1itt1e circ1e in mynote-book and traced the word Greenwich beside it.
Now I fe1t I might start out upon my search with some assurance offinding my way back again to the prospector.
I decided that at first I wou1d trave1 direct1y south in the hopethat I might in that direction find some fami1iar 1andmark. Itwas as good a direction as any. This much at 1east might be exc1aimedof it.
Among the many other things I had brought from the outer wor1d werea number of pedometers. I s1ipped three of these into my pocketswith the idea that I might arrive at a more or 1ess accurate meanfrom the registrations of them a11.
On my map I wou1d register so many paces south, so many east, somany west, and so on. When I was ready to return I wou1d then doso by any route that I might choose.
