(P) The mystery of Colonel P. H. Fawcett, lost since 1925 in the Brazilian Interior, where he wu seeking s clue to the "lost Atlantis," has lured another expedi tion to search for him. Its leaders, Robert Churchward, an Englishman, and Capt. John. O. Hol man of Brazil, will try to learn which of the theories about Fawcett'a fate Is true. Among the theories are: That Fawcett found the "lost civil ization" he was seeking and remain ed to study it. That he found life In the Interior so much pleasanter than civilization that he decided to stay there. That he was captured and held prisoner by hostile Indians. That he was slain outright by In dians, or died of hardship. Trapper's Tale Inspires Hunt, . The new expedition, now on its way to Brazil, was inspired partly by the report of a Swiss trapper, Ste phan Rattln, that he saw Fawcett alive And well last October, between the Tapajos and Madeira rivers, far In the Brazilian Interior. Rattln said Fawcett was a captive of Indians, Hunting for Fawcett In the huge hinterland of Brazil Is much like bunting for a needle In a haystack. He disappeared seven years ago In. the enormous state of Matto Orasso, which had an area of 570,136 square miles, almost as large as France, Oer many and Spain combined. Although part of the state la set tled by cattle ' raisers, much of It remained wild and unexplored, in habited only by primitive Indians. The country Is not a Jungle, but a fairly open grassland, with few trees except along the rivers. Traced Romantic Legends. Colonel Fawcett, who Is said to have been considerable of a mystic, became Interested In local legends of rich gold mines, waited cities in which lived races of men who had lost con tact with the outside world, fair- skinned Indians ruled by women, and bright lights that shone at night irom the windows of old ruins. Other explorers describe him as ng In these legend the answer to the riddle of the "lost Atlantis." Fawcett himself wrote Just before he disappeared, "I am confident we shall find the key to much lost history." Various expeditions have explored the area where Fawcett disappeared. Some' have returned with the con viction he is dead, others that he Is still alive. Meteorological Report July 8, 1033. Forecasts. Medford and vicinity: Tonight Ud Saturday, fair.
