KILLED BY INDIANS?
LOST BRITISH EXPLORER RIO DE JANEIRO, August 21. The expedition which left New York on December 10 under Commander G. M. Dyott, to search for Colonel P. H. Fawcett, the British explorer, has sent a wireless message saying it thinks it has established that Colonel Fawcett was killed by Indians in July, 1926, in the Zinga region. Colon® Fawcett's mission was to explore the headwaters of the Amazon, which he believed to be the cradle of civilisation, in search of a lost city. Since he left Matto Grosso, Brazil, in February, 1925, nothing definite had been heard of him.
