Alleged Discoverer
Of Colonel Fawcett
To Attempt Rescue
Swiss Trapper, Stephan Rattin Will Take Party Into
Brazil Jungles-Guide OF Late President Roose-
welt SCOTS at Discovery

If Rattin back trails over the
route he followed from the point
where he believes he saw Colonel
Fawcett, the journey would take
about three months. Rattin said
the greatest difficulty after finding
the village of the Mercielagoes
tribe where he believes Colonel
Fawcett is held prisoner would be
In persuading the natives to free
their captive, then to get him
safely out of the Indian country.
He recalled that the headman of
the Indian village where the tall,
bearded white man whispered
"Englishman" to him kept a
jealous guard over the white man.
Rattin spent four days at the vii
lage before he could talk with the
prisoner.
Rattin believed he could get
back to civilization within two
months after reaching the Indian
village because he would be max
Ing his third trip over the route.
The trapper held little hope that
the white man could escape with
out aid. He told Rattin he had
been u prisoner for more than
five years and never moved about
the Jungle except in the custody
OF the Indian IS II
1.-The only feasible means of es-
cape for the prisoner would be on
horseback" Rattin said, land 1t
would be impossible for him to
obtain horse without the Indians
knowledge. Even riding Il horse,
"a man ont familiar with jungle
travel would have only slight
chance of getting through the
heavy underground"
While the British colony here
was aroused over the prospects OF
finding Colonel Fawcett, the man
credited with knowing more about
the Brazilian interior than anyone
except the natives themselves
called Rattin's story "romancing.".
This was the opinion of General
Candida Rondon, chief guide and
Interpreter for the expedition Of
the late Theodore Roosevelt. 1t
made one Of the few journeys by
white men down the River Of
Doubt" That expedition discov-
cred new stream now officially
charted as the "Rio Roosevelt"
General Rondon Is q descend
ant Of the matte crosse Indians.
AS head of the government service
which laid the national telegraph
lines, he has spent many years In
the jungle. He speaks various
Indian languages. He Is held In
high esteem by the natives of the
jungle.
ut would take more than the
mere declaration OF Rattin to
make be melieve that Colonel
Fawcett Is still alive" General
Rondon said. II have always con-
tended that Colonel Fawcett was
killed by Indians, for know that
natives are very savage In the dis
trict where he was supposed to
have disappeared.
you can't make me believe that
story. l believe Colonel Fawcett
was lost between the Ria Dos Nor

river Anaguas, great distance
from where Rattin says he found

"Fawcett would have died long
before reaching the Indian village

have been killed by exposure.

dense jungle of matte crosse

Rio dc Janeiro, March 1S--
(UP) - stephan Rattin, Swiss
trapper who believes he found the
long lost Colonel =. ii. Faucet
held captive by Indians in the
Brazilian jungle, was expected
here to-day to confer on rescue
plans in which lives of the res
cuers would be risked.
Rattln told the United Press at
Sac Paulo he had been called here
by the British embassy.
The British consul general at
Sac Paulo, Arthur ABBOTT, con-
sidered Rattin's story the most
definite clue to Colonel Fawcett' 3
late since the explorer, his son,
and IL young English companion,
Raleigh Rimell, were swallowed
by the jungles seven years ago IN
their search for Il lost civiliza-
tion."
Rattin told how q white man,
gaybed In Indian dress, had APP
preached him at an Indian village
and whispered the word English
man." Later Rattin, said, the man
said he was Colonel Fawcett.
Rattin meanwhile Is considering
re-entering the great, green wastes
OF the matte crosse great Jungle)
country to rescue tawcett. The
territory has been penetrated by
few white men. 1t contains the
thickest and densest tangle OF
jungle growth in the vast Bra
lillian hinterland infested by wild
beasts, pestilence, poisonous snakes
and insects, and hostile Indians.
Rattin said he planned an ex-
petition OF four men, as q small
group had more chances to ex-
list and get through wastes where
maps and charts are OF no value"
Expeditions must carry canoes
for miles through heavy jungle
brush.
Explorers who have seen horses
or men fall into streams In the
jungle say they were devoured
before their eyes by hordes OF
small and almost invisible FISH
that destroy their prey with great
speed.
Rattin said he had several ma
tive jungle crackers In mind as
possible members OF his party. He
declined to reveal their Identity.
The Swiss trapper said he was fol-
lowing tho advice of the British
consul general In keeping his
plans secret.

AS opponents of higher and
better life--of which there are
many in Carmel--the honeymoon

curiosity and awe. Just as Toom-
err forsees for all America some
