        Mason and Dixon, completing their imaginary return east after
their imaginary extension of the line across the country, visit the
McCleans and declare their intention of somehow extending the visto
across the atlantic Ocean. As an added bonus it would solve the problem
of finding exact longitude at sea.

        An island in the Atlantic visto becomes a combination
"pleasure-grounds and pensioners' home"  and it is here that Mason and
Dixon retire in great glory.

        Chapter 73 concludes on page 713. This also marks the end of
Part Two, "America." Page 714 is blank.
