Captain Carmichael, who made the original discovery, was a British res- ident of Honduras. He was given or- naments of gold by. two natives who said the gold came from the hidden, temple. Carmichael fitted' out an ex- pedition spedition and came upon the ruins of Tikal. After taking bearings he re- turned to his base camp, but more than twenty years passed before he was able to again explore the region of the treasure. The second time a lack of provi- cions compelled him to abandon the attempt. When, in 1903, he again tried to locate the treasure he died of fer-er in the bush. His papers and maps were sent to his son, Gordon Carmichael, an artist living in Flor- ence, Italy, who kpt them until 1926, when they were lent to Dr. Gann.
