Continued Irom last week Nov. 15. 194» Manaus, Amazona» We have Just learned the shocking facts surrounding the tragic death of two American soldiers, Lt. William ton and Sgt. Bates, and two Brazll- Ians who were murdered by Indian» of the Atroarls Tribe in the vicinity of the town of Mauro, Amazonas. which 1» situated on the Rio Negro near the Junction of the Rio Branco, num» 20<l miles from Manaos. Tne tragedy occurred many miles above the town on the Alalau’ River ’ which flows from the Jauapere' 1 River, possibly between 100 and 15u miles above tin» town of Mauro. ■ On Oct. 22nd a weary, near-dead- thnn-allve Brazilinn staggered back into the town of Mauro and his wtory was telegrnphed into Manaos via Nactionnl Telegraph telling of the deaths of the other four men in the expedition party which had »et out from Manaos some six weeks pr-sv- icualy in the interests of the UA. Army Mapping Squadron whose gi- gantlc task is to map the entire of Brazil In detuil. Of the five people in the expedition he. alone, escaped from the hostile tribe of Indians who had killed the other members of the party and had made his way through the Jungles back to Mauro to tell the story, arriving there some seventeen day, later. When he first arrived nt Mauro he told only the facts that were upper most In his fear-erased mind, how- < ver the next day he enlarged upon and subtracted from his original story, Since then we have heard vr.rlojis accounts of this mystery-cl.nl tragedy and I will relate here the concensus of opinion as to what pro bably happened however I am afraid tli<> impenetrable Jungle has sealed fotevep tile facts surrounding this brutal massacre and the fate of the two Americans and two Brazilians will remain forever a mystery known i nly to the Atroarls Indians. The expedition. headed by Lt. Williamson and Sgt. Bates, had gone to the town of Mauro In nn R.D.C. Higgins Launch, which 1» a fairly good sized launch. Here at Mauro they picked up three Brazilian inha bitants from the town to take them <-n up the river, leaving their own Brazilian boy, to guard the Higgins until their return, sine.

Must of the story, which is believed most gather the clothes. Happily, Aunty. likely correct, is that at this point they met a Brazilian rubber techni- | clan with many of his men who we-e headed on into one of the ■tnallc” ilver, taking supplies to some thirty lubber tappers in that vicinity.

After a while the pie lifter was used to turn the pie around. What uld it do but slide over the edge and scoop off near u quarter of what had been left of the melngue.
