christened that region Green He'll and wrote,
in 1881: Even the President of Brazil dare not
send police after a criminal who has gained the
tTCCgiTt sanctuary of the Matte Crosse.
There a saying around the Explorers
Club that from the Xngu country no one ever
returns" That is not quite true, since expedi-
lions that searched for Fawcett did come back.
But they all came back emptyhanded until Col.
Mario Barata of the Brazilian army showed up
not long ago with a small golden compass and
a notebook identified Fawcett's.
The disappearance of this British soldier, ex-
porer and mystic has become of the most
widely known classic mysteries of the missing.

of TheodoSia daughter of Aaron Burr; Of Am

But the element of mysticism makes the Faw.

Col. Fawcett was a graduate of Woolwich
Military Academy. AS a subaltern he was sta

the Buddhist antiquities and legends in which the
island abounds One rumor that he searched
for the buried treasure of the ancient Kandyan
kings. But he was hunter after riches and
probably the treasure he sought was of an an
