Although the police seemed to be t., ing, and were under the impression that they were making some progress, Forrester decided to make a few ef- forty on his own account, as he had originally planned. Vorrester wus not much impressed with Humphrey's triangulation the- ory, It wus too far fetched and fanci- +ful. Moreover, jie realized that before putting even this surveying method into actual practice, he must first look over all the ground carefully, At the present moment, the only prominent and definite landmark in the case was the oak tree. He knew that this had already been the starting point for all the detectives who had been conduct- ing investigations, but it was possible two yahs ago.
