A month ago an expedition under local
officials started out from Puerto Cascade
to search for news Of the lost men. II
penetrated only a few miles in the IN

a trail, but far enough to learn that there
was no doubt that the entire experidion
had been destroyed, presumably by the
fierce, practically unknown TOBIAS In

aeveral months through the wilderness
along the Pilcomayo until he penetrated
