iH.F.ALEXANDER PRESIDENT!
Pm TO SEEK FOR
COL. P. 0. FAWCETT
MODERN LIVINGSTONE UNHEARD
FROM TWO YEARS IN DARK
EST AFRICA
1 LONDON, Aug. 2. (£>)—An explor
ing mystery paralleling the famous
disappearance of David Livingstone
in the heart of the darkest Africa in
1866, has forced a call for volunteers
to seek Colonel P. H. Fawcett, Bri
tish explorer, who vanished two
years ago in the depths of uncharted
Brazil while searching for traces of
the world’s oldest civilization.
Colonel Fawcett was last heard of
at Bakariri Post, in the Province of
Maito Grosso, from where he “jump”
ed off” to carry out his inspection of
the central plateau. He hoped there
to find relics and treasures of by
gone etfllizations that would prove
his theory that the American conti
nent peoples were as culturally im
portant as those of Egypt and an
cient Greece.
I Livingstone was rescued after be
ing missing five years. The Stanley
expedition which brought Livingstone
back to civilization is one of the
great epics of exploration. The Bra
zilian terrtory in which Colonel Faw
cett disappeared is inhabited by cave
men who eat human flesh, by inpene
trable forests, ferocious animals, poi
sonous insects and great reptiles.
Colonel Fawcett was accompaned
by only two white men, his son Jack
Fawcett and R. Rimmel, another
young Englishman. His expedition
planned to live on the country and
j was furnished instructions by the
j Royal Geographical Society.
“Don’t count on any more dis
! patches,” said his last message,
j Colonel Fawcett advised his friends
not to worry unless he was not heard
from at least two years. That time
has passed and Mrs. Fawcett, who
lives with her daughter at Torquay,
'is greatly distressed at the absence
'of news from her husband.
| The Royal Geographica 1 Society
ihas ofif^jed the proposed search par
ity all possible help, but points out
I that while the Brazlian Government
| will probably give every assistance
in its power, it does not pretend to
exert any control over the wild in
terior of the country, with its un
earned tribes, which was the goal of
'colonel Fawcett’s adventure.
