That is the last we heard from him. .He wrote the letter just as he was about to start, but how far he got on the trip we never heard.” Anxiety of the Peruvian authorities regarding the fate o fthe Chicago explorers was aroused last autumn by the appearance of natives with guns, clothing and other property belonging to the missing explorers, which the tribesmen said they had obtained in barter with the white strangers.
