we opened it and pored over it. My
first course, on the morrow, we esti-

my gasoline tank and stay over night.
Sunday would see me through Lyon
and along the Rhone to Avignon.
Thence, on the Monday, | should
strike east over the Basses-Alpes and
the Alpes Maritimes to Monaco; and
on the Tuesday there would be the
perilous sea fight Of two hundred odd
miles to Corsica, and along the coast

After breakfast we went out to the
