CORUMBA. Small. April 26—We
hr.ve rome this far on our journey Into
the wilderness to find the missing ex
plorer Col. P. H Fawcett, and are
starting at oner by launeh for Cuyaba
There we strike out into the jungle
with our bullock train.
Our journey Irom Sao Taulo to the
railhead was eventful. One coach
caught fire, and wo were derailed three
times because heavy rains had under
mined the tracks but none of our party
’ was Injured. We would have been
weeks getting here bed it not been for ,
the help of the Brazilian government.
The opinion prevails in Brnztl that
Fawcett has perished. It is contended
that no man can survive m the forests
more than eight months, and Fawcett |
hasn't !>een heard from since May,
1925 But if we don't find Fawcett
alive, we. shall, establish what happened
to him. and then press on to discover
that lost city of antiquity he set out to
find.
