Clancy opened it, removed the folded yellow sheet, opened it out, and he and Hill read the following:
"OWEN CLANCY, Renfrew House, Los Angeles: No such street as 'Q' in the city. No such man as Upton Hill in directory. Never heard of him.
PENNYPACKER, Chief of Police."
"What do you think of that?" asked Clancy.
"I reckon your judgment is good, Clancy," answered the baffled Hill. "If it wasn't, I'd not have asked you to help me run out this trail."
"Then we'll cut out San Diego and go to Catalina?"
"What's the use o' goin' to San Diego; lookin' for a street they haven't got in the town? Of course we'll try the island–nothin' else for us to do."
