THE DUSTY PAST
IMPORTANT EXCAVATIONS REPORTED United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph Copyright LONDON, July 22. The “Sunday Chronicle” says that Captain Michell Hedges, the champion "he-man,” who disappeared from public life following the famous libel action in 1927, has made a dramatic comeback. He has made discoveries of such Importance in the South American islands that the British Museum authorities have decided to send an expedition to Investigate. Captain Joyce, head of the Museum’s department of ethnography, who will conduct the expedition, declares that the pottery, stone carvings and other discoveries, made by Mr Mitchell Hedges throw light on a vanished civilisation, and lead one to suppose there is a lost city beneath the sea between South America and the adjacent'islands, which were once linked with the mainland.
