Samuel Larkin Shay, United States citizen from Cairo, Illinois—but for the past six years a restless rover of the Asiatic tropics.  For six hard, weary years, Singapore Sammy has been hunting for a man.  For six years, in every mannor of conveyance, from ox cart to lady liner, from Malay proa to airplane, he had followed the tortuous trail; losing it, picking it up again, it has taken him from Pekin to Punjab, from Ceylon to the Celebes and far beyond.

The man in question is Singapore Sammy's father Bill Shay—whom Sammy has several accounts to settle with.  The old rascal deserted Sammy and his mother when Sammy was but an infant of two.  Upon departing, Bill Shay took Sammy's grandfather's will, which leaves a fortune to Sammy.  The estate cannot be claimed with the will—and Sammy wants that will!

Gray was silent while the scientist placed his finger on a wall map of Asia.  He drew his finger inland from the coast of China, past the rivers and cities, past the northern border of Tibet to a blank space under the mountains of Turkestan where there was no writing.

"This is the blind spot of Asia," Balch said.  "It has grown smaller, as Europeans journeyed through it borders.  Tibet we know.  The interior of China we know, except for this blnkd spot.  It is—"

"In the Desert of Gobi."

"The one place explorers have been prevented from visiting.  And it is here we have heard the Wusun are."

"We want you to start right off.  We know that our dearest foes, the British Asiatic Society, have wind of the Wunsun.  They are fitting out an expedition.  It will have the edge on yours because their will start from India, which is nearer the Gobi."

"Then it's to be a race?" Gray asked.

"A race it is," nodden Balch.
